The point Cash is making is that the phone doesn't support US 3G, and only supports 1 of the US GSM bands (1900).

With 3G growing more popular, handset manufacturers need to start providing the consumer with more options for US 3G services.

Forget the 3G support (*this time*). They don't even have GSM support (for AT&T customers, at least)!

Honestly, 3G isn't that big of a deal to most people at this point. A very select few markets actually support it, and that isn't going to change in the next 2-3 years, which is the expected lifespan of phones coming out today. And as others have pointed out, 3G just decimates your battery life making it pretty impractical for the average user. That will change once the tech developes and new energy management chips are designed for it, and networks begin upgrading their towers as they reach the end of their operating life, but both of these are at least a few years away. Lack of 3G just isn't a dealbreaker for 90 percent of the market here.
