Phone: iPhone 3GS 16GB White / iPhone 3G 8GB Black (Broken) / Sony Ericsson w580i (Sold)
Provider: Telus Rogers Wireless (No Longer!)
Default Wind Mobile Stick

So according to the Windmobile site, their USB stick is 850/1700/1900/2100 HSPA. I'm just curious but why aren't manufacturers putting this kind of chip in their phones so it can basically be a worldwide 3G phone.

No idea but for some reason i think it has to do with the carriers and competition or some bull crap like that

There's also the cost. There is a cost for every frequency that's licensed for a phone. Plus it needs to get certified.
