I wonder if devices and carriers around the world will offet UMTS on all 5 frequencies used for GSM, being 850/900/1800/1900/2100. So, you would have a device that would switch UMTS from 850/1900 in North America to 900 in Europe and 2100 in the middle east. And then jump back to EDGE / GPRS when outside the range. That's like a crazy microprocessor chip needed to switch all of that. Interesting.
