There are some markets with 850 deployment, though I am not sure which...

Please clarify your question. Deploying WCDMA at 850MHz would be based on what license is held by ATT in a given Market area. Some markets are 850 only, 1900 only and some are both 850/1900. The deployment at 850 would also be based on many factors. Most importantly, is there enough bandwidth, while maintaining spectrum for TDMA and GSM.
