Long Story!! Will this phone work with a Optus Sim? Unlocked in Aus!
http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/pro.../specification
Its unlocked, dual band, nice phone, will it work in Australia.???
I have a quad band, why, i don't know, but works fine, misus has a Tri band, again works fine, but a mate has a consignment of these animals, just wondered will they work down under? They are Dual band, nonsense to me?
Cheers Keith?
P.S. I ask because the Samsung E1310 from the Optus network works fine and that is a dual band?
Night!

I got Acer Dx900, for the dual sim. Whatever you do dont get it
. Just to get it work without pulling your hair out ,you need to do a 3rd party coooked ROM. If you do get the samsung , could you comment on it ?

Dual band is fine for the conventional GSM networks over here.
Tri-band phones are often needed for going to America. It's all to do with the frequencies that the different companies transmit on. 900/1800 I think were the original two frequencies used, can't remember what the third one is 1900?!

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the replies, sent you all karmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, the first time i came over, i went out and spent £60 peso's on a quad band, thought unless it was quad band it will not work????
I plan to buy five of these dual bands................ a fiver each, unlock them all, just bargains for a fiver each? I will see how much it costs to unlock them all?
But thanks again!
