Up for preview today is the Elephone P8000 American version. When I say American, I mean North America, Central America and South America.

Not only does the new P8000 have 850/1900 for 3G in USA, which is great for AT&T 3G and covers most of T-Mobile 3G, it also carries 1700 AWS, which will give T-Mobile customers full 3G coverage across the USA.

The news doesn’t stop there, the Elephone P8000 American version also has LTE FDD-LTE 700/1700/1900/2600MHz, which makes it compatible with LTE all across the Americas.

This is the first MTK phone to have 1700 AWS and American LTE, and is a landmark event along the MTK China phone trail.

It’s great news that Elephone is releasing a mobile with full American frequencies, however, those in Europe and UK will want to avoid the American version due to lack of WCDMA 2100 and GSM 1800.

While it’s excellent to see Elephone release this mobile, the big news here is that should begin to see a rash of American 3G/LTE China mobiles released over the next few months as MediaTek has now licensed bands for their MTK SoC mobile radios. The previous bottleneck wasn’t necessarily the phone manufacturers, but MTK, who had not yet created radios with the required frequencies.
