Regarding the early days of GSM1800 and the idea of dualband networks and handsets I just searched a very old backup and found two interesing historic files:
One is a newsletter from gsmag.com dated to May 5th, 1998, depicting the status of GSM1800-rollouts, which is attached to this posting. It mentions interest of "Estonian Mobile Telephone" for GSM1800 licenses due to the (inbound) roaming revenue, they could generate from visitors with GSM1800-handsets. Apparently Estonians didn't consider dualband handsets to become available or widely spread in these days.
