Hi Mike,

thanks for your patch.

Thanks this makes sense, but....

In fact, we could even go beyond that at some point and inquire the band
capabilities from the BTS.  I'm quite sure i've once seen something like this
in the ip.access protocol while working with the wireshark dissector for it.

We will definitely have to differentiate the old 1800/1900 (round like the
850/900 models) and the new 1800/1900 models in some way, as the latter support
edge and the former don't.

But I suppose that can also be read through OML from the BTS.  The hardware
type is 178U for the non-edge version and 165AU for the EDGE capable version,
at least on all my units.
