Pinephone and regional Australia
#1
My apologies if this has been already discussed and I admit that, with the imminent release of the Pinephone, I am hoping that some kind person may be able to help.  If it all lines up I am hoping to purchase a Pinephone when they are released.

I have looked and can't find any information about the phone with regard to bands/freq that it will cover.  In regional Australia the important band is the B28 band.  I have been monitoring the Librem 5 for a while and that phone, at least so far, will not cover that band making the phone only usable really in major centres, which is no good for me.

So are there perhaps any Australians here who may have investigated this and be prepared to fast track my knowledge?

Thanks for any help that my come forth.

Check out the wiki. B28 is listed under LTE-FDD.

Thank you so much for the quick reply.  That is great news for me.  I'll be on the net first thing in a couple of days to order one.  Can't wait now.
