Different versions of the SGH-i600

[Guest MitchellO]

I know there is the i607 "Blackjack" in the USA which has the 850/1900Mhz UMTS frequency, and the i600 has the 2100Mhz UMTS frequency, but my question is does the i600 only come in a 2100Mhz UMTS version? Everywhere I look at it says that it has UMTS/HSDPA, but only a handful say the actualy 2100Mhz frequency, so I wanted to make absolutely sure that when I pick one up from Expansys that it will be 2100Mhz UMTS .

Cheers :rolleyes:

Yes, the SGH-i600 has always 2100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA.

- SGH-i600: 2100 MHz UMTS

- SGH-i601: 850 MHz UMTS (for Telstra / Australia only)

- SGH-i607: 850 + 1900 MHz UMTS

I wish Samsung would make their smartphones UMTS tri-band. Even my HTC Hermes (O2 XDA Trion) had already UMTS tri-band last year.

As does my Treo 750v. I don't quite understand why Samsung would muck around with all these different versions of the same device. I mean the i600 has WiFi, but the i601/607 don't, which is another thing I am sure some are annoyed about. Honestly with cheap data rates and speedy HSDPA I couldn't care less about WiFi on my phone anymore.

But thanks for answering my question. Hopefully the money for my Treo comes through soon so I can place the order!

No, actually it is the other way round. The i600 has WiFi and the i601 and i607 have not.
