iPhone 4: World's Second Announced Pentaband 3G Phone

Even though Apple's recently announced iPhone 4 managed to leak in physical form some time ago, the FCC documents have been kept tightly under wraps - until now.
What we can learn from the documents is pretty interesting. Despite Apple's claim in the tech specs that the iPhone 4 is a quadband phone, we can see from the FCC documents that five bands are supported - the omitted band being the 800MHz band VI, most commonly used in Japan.
This makes Apple's iPhone 4 the world's second announced pentaband 3G phone - which may mean something, or it may mean nothing. Feel free to speculate yourselves, and drop us a line in the comments box below if you fancy sharing your thoughts and opinions.
Oh, and just in case you were interested, the world's first announced pentaband phone was the Nokia N8. But is it as good as the iPhone 4? I don't think so...
