Neither the phase 1 nor the phase 2 versions of the Neo support the 850 MHz band. Since the 850 MHz band is popular in North America this may be a problem for North American users, as they will find poorer reception and more "black spots" on the Neo than on phones retailed locally.

More explanations in mailing list postings:

These countries also use 850 MHz:

Because the phase 1 Neo was intended as a developer release a number of North American buyers may have received their Neos before this problem was fully appreciated.


If for this reason you wish to sell your Neo, please put your name below so potential buyers may contact you:

--Ascarygnome 00:35, 9 November 2007 (CET) I'd like to sell my Neo, I was thinking $280 shipped (US (other countries I will charge for shipping)) It is black, has a couple very small scratches (due to stylus) which one can only see in the correct light and angle... email me if interested ascarygnome(at)gmail.com, Anthony.

If you are interested in purchasing a second hand Neo put your name down here:

(if this gets good response I may move this to a separate page)

--Rakshat 04:40, 8 November 2007 (CET) I already have one GTA01 device. Would like another in black but as I am a student can't really afford the $ 350 total it costs me to get it to India again. Can arrange for pick up in the US.

--Zuch 07:50, 8 November 2007 (GMT) I stay in India and I'm also looking to get one GTA01 device. I can give a US address for shipping.

--rsteig 7:35, 8 November 2007 (EST) I live in USA(Pennsylvania). Looking for a phone.

--Dege 02:47, 9 November 2007 (CET) I live in Australia and am looking for a phone.
