Thanks to some detective work by Engadget on the FCC website, it would appear as though the Dell Mini 5 is heading to AT&T and will support EDGE and 3G frequencies. How do we know this? During a hands on photo session with the Mini 5, a number of photos were taken which revealed the battery compartment, SIM card slot etc. One of these photos, shown to the right, revealed a label which you can find here on the FCC website. After matching the details up, AT&T users can get a little excited “as and it’s described in the RF test reports as a “mobile internet device” with support for WiFi plus full HSPA on WCDMA bands II and V (that’s the coverage needed by AT&T, Rogers, Bell, and Telus, by the way) plus EDGE on the same frequencies”.

    Since (1) Tmo is supposedly up for sale in the US and it appears that Tmo has stopped expanding their 3G networks in the US, and (2) Verizon is the only carrier with 3G in my area (a radius of approximately 160 miles), only providing AT&T compatible devices seems to be a sales limiting launch. Can a device be made to support more than one carrier, or say to support all carriers so the phone would have universal usage and the user would not have to worry about 3G coverage when traveling? Can the US correct its current cellular phone mess so there could be 3G/4G unilateral coverage?
