You also left out the original North American UMTS frequencies: 850 and 1900. Even though the bands are the same, the spectrum is not.
Soon to come are eightband phones, with wifi and wimax. And if they don't stop here and keep on adding more frequencies (the US 700MHz block is up for sale) we'll end up with phones the size of my old Motorola 8000 (aka the brick).
