UMTS bands support in europe,especially France..

i have received yesterday my jolla and i.m quite fond of it..

i am puzzled by two things: the poor battery life and the supported UMTS 4g bands

in France we have like in some other countries à network using the 1800 mhz band which is called bouygues telecom and signs bouygtel on the phones. they are using their refarmed 2G/3G network to offer 4g service. So the supported UMTS band width has to be at least 900/1800/2100. the phone sent out to me states on the label as regards compatibility with the UMTS bands: 900/1800. this is like l'y to be à problem as many networks boroadcast also in 2100 mhz dépendant where you are located.. so i hope that by flashing the phones baseband/ firmware this 2100 Mhz will be unlocked and available to me. this is why nokia and apple Shell in France phones compatible with the 800/900/1800/2100/2600 mhz bands for UMTS. does someone know if the phone will have at least the neede 900/1800/2100 UMTS 4G compatibility?

awaiting your answer,i remain. Arnaud

in France we have like in some other countries à a network using the 1800 mhz band which is called bouygues telecom and signs bouygtel on the phones. they are using their refarmed 2G/3G 1800 network to offer 4g service. So the supported UMTS band width has to be at least 900/1800/2100. the phone sent out to me states on the label as regards compatibility with the UMTS bands: 900/1800. 900/2100. this is like l'y to be à likely to be a problem as many networks boroadcast also in 2100 i own a 4G enabled subscription on that 1800 mhz dépendant where you are located.. so network.. So i hope that by flashing the phones baseband/ firmware this 2100 1800 Mhz will be unlocked and available to me. this is why nokia and apple Shell sell in France phones compatible with the 800/900/1800/2100/2600 mhz bands for UMTS. UMTS as 800 and 2600 might be added up to the other bands in France. does someone know if the phone will have at least the neede needed 900/1800/2100 UMTS 4G compatibility?
