Guest gorcorps Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I've been looking into this phone because I want to move on from my mpx200. The battery life is bad and the coverage on Cingular isn't what I wanted. The question is, it looks like this phone is still tri-band (which the mpx200 is as well) but it looks like the 3 bands the 5600 covers are different than the 3 that my mpx200 covers. Does the 5600 cover the bands that Cingular requires and that I'm currently missing from my current phone? Also, I see there are updated roms in a sticky up above... but they all say they're from orange. Will they still work with the 5600 w/out messing up the bands and everything?

The roms should work just fine, no matter where they are from, as long as they are official roms. Regarding the coverage, i think you should check the cingular website, or call their client service for more details, and ask someone who knows for sure!

From what I can tell the 5600 does have the coverage I need. It's the Orange based c500 that has triband like my current mpx200 and doesn't work well with Cingular. At least thats what I think I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
