There often are questions like
Code:
which carrier in USA will work with the Neo900?
It's not possible to answer this question comprehensively for every carrier in every country.
Usually you visit pages like http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/byop.html and compare the bands to what the planned P*S8 modems in Neo900 can do.
When all you can find is fuzzy stuff like http://support.sasktel.com/app/answe...ail/a_id/15950 then please consider this
Or you look up in this thread if somebody else already did that for you. ;-)
Of course answering here when you found reliable info (ideally with URL reference) will also be appreciated

adding a quick lookup table here, summarizing the results from below. See post #2 for details on modem capabilities and excellent post #3 for an evaluation summary

Code:
Region;   Carrier;   list of modems(service, restrictions);   ## remarks
USA         AT&T:  PLS8-US(4G, 3G),  PHS8-P/PHS8-J/PHS8-K/PHS8-US/PHS8-USA(3G)  
                            ##  PLS8-E(urope) is NOT suited for USA
Poland        all:     PLS8-E(4G,3G,2G), PHS8-P/J/K/E(3G,2G)
Note: we might limit the number of modems offered, to streamline production. So sub-types like PHS8-E / PHS8-US with reduced featureset may not be available when we also offer PHS8-P.

For CDMA don't miss our PXS8 option and also see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1473501
