I don't know why Samsung would have done such a thing, though. The B7610 seems to have a different receiver chip from the i8000 and i8910 as it lacks 1900 3G and 7.2 Mbps HSDPA.

Pocketnow.com did a review yesterday of the Omnia II and found that it picked up AT&T 3G on HSDPA 1900 no problem. I'm assuming the Omnia Pro will have similar specs and will also have this band. I will definitely make sure. Worst case scenario it will use only EDGE which is sometimes faster than 3G (believe it or not) depending on where you live. It's very frustrating that the U.S. doesnt get the best phones. Good point gentlemen.

If you live in one of the major cities it might be worth calling up your local carriers and asking them what 3G frequencies they use, but if your out in the 'burbs then it's probably not worth the effort. If you're on T-mobile US, you'd probably have better luck with the HTC Touch Pro 2, which is getting released by T-mobile right about now and won't run you into any conflicts with 3G reception. 2100 UMTS is used in some urban areas, but most of the US uses either 850 or 1700/1900, which by international standards are “oddball” frequencies.

Also from what I understands 900 or 2100 aren't even used in the US. Is that not true? So this phone would work with T-Mobile then?

The only problem you'll run into is that it only has 900/2100 3G. For 2G/EDGE useage it should work on any GSM network. Using it in the US is a simple matter of putting your SIM card into it.
