According to the schematics it is a quad-band design. The Antenna switch is a
SP5T (two bands tx, 3 bands rx), followed by an additional filter that
separates the 850 from the 900 in the RX path.
Given that the filters (including the 850/900) are all unbalanced-to-balanced
filters, I doubt that somebody would simply not place them (as you cannot
replace them just with a 0ohms resistor or soemthing. By removing one filter
you would not be able to produce a standard 850/1800/1900 or 950/1800/1900
configuration but something like 850/900/1800 or 850/900/1900 which doesn't
maeke sense.
My personal educated guess is: they are all quad-band.
