NEC N900iG the first device to offer FOMA / tri-mode GSM / UMTS (Europe) roaming
And again PhoneArnea.com brings you first the information about the NEC FOMA N900iG. This will be the first phone to offer FOMA (a tweaked Japanese 3G standard), tri-mode (900/1800/1900) GSM/GPRS and UMTS (Europe) roaming. The phone's manual never mentions directly UMTS (WCDMA) but on the other hand lists the following networks that are supported:
__In Japan: FOMA
Out of Japan: 3G, GSM, GRPS
This makes me believe the device will work on the Europe's UMTS 2100 MHz network. The phone's manual is around 605 pages, so to list all its features it will take several pages. To enumerate the main ones:
