Does anyone know which networks use these? I am currently on 3.

Thank you.
Thats UK specs plus a bit of the US spec, you could use that handset on GSM in most of America (on the GSM 1900 frequency). US also uses 850GSM and UMTS on all sorts of frequencies. ATT use 1900, T-mobile use 1700, Canada and South America can use 850. It is a nightmare.
