Asha..YEAH
After some testing I'm pretty amazed by the reception on this phone.
At my current location.
Galaxy S3 with Vodafone gets 0-1 bars.
Galaxy S3 with Optus gets 1-3 bars.
Asha with Vodafone gets 3-4 bars.Reception is the signal strength received by the handset.

2) According to the specs, 850 and 2100mHz onlyNot sure why I even bother.

The bundled browser is crap due to font size issues, so I recommend installing Opera Mini if basic browsing is needed.
