    so i'm sitting in class checking out to see what PRL I have when I see that my phone is using 800MhZ on Sprint's network. I thought might possibly be roaming but I checked the SID and it was 4168 which is Sprint's SID in the area. Since when does Sprint have 800 licenses?

    Some phones have a firmware bug where it incorrectly displays 800 instead of 1900. Just disregard that.

    Trust me Sprint will NEVER be using 800 on CDMA. They don't need to and it wouldn't make good business sense to incur the cost of that. Especially when they are already financially strapped.

    It did but I believe they fixed that with the latest firmware update.

    I remember my old Samsung M900 did that one night and I started getting very excited. I thought Sprint was rolling out 800MHz and then I realized that it was just a bug. Oh well.
