Since reading the BBnews page, I have a serious feeling that the 9530 will have tri-band HSDPA. Why?

*Verizon, Bell, and Telus all announced this model.
*All these providers officially announced their plans to goto LTE, by first upgrading networks with an overlay of HSPA on 850/1900mhz. Telus & Bell have the recent 20mhz/10mhz spectrum to just about cover the entire Canadian population (or the 30mill out of 32 million of us).
* Bell is the Official cellular network sponsor of the Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2010 - the year they said the transitions to be completed by.

> conclusion. Makes no sense to release a device NOT capable of using the new network in two years when the better price is set for 2/3yr contracts. Sure they'll be more devices, but this is the FIRST to have BOTH networks with quadband EDGE to use in the SAME country not just overseas like the 8830World Edition. This makes their announcements Sound and more concrete to the end users.
