I wouldn't recommend buying a phone without both the 850/1900 bands for use with at&t's service.

While the 850 frequency might not currently be "required" in your area, that could change tomorrow as at&t reallocates bandwidth for 3G service, etc.

You'll be wasting your money buying this phone. You need 850/1900 availability in any phone you want to use with AT&T. Anything less, you run the risk of no service.
