So is the Samsung Vibrant (1900 & 1700 but no 850).

There are probably several models that are partially compatible but since AT&T usually uses both bands in their markets w/ both bands, it doesn't make sense buying a phone that may not work where you're using it because it's missing a band. Similar to buying a phone w/o GSM 850 but wanting to use it on AT&T or Rogers expecting to still have good service on only 1900.
