Maybe I can shed some light on the 900 v.s. 850MHz versions
I received my iNew V3 form dx.com today and the sticker beneath the battery says 900/2100 with the v4 in the bottom right corner. Eagerly I powered down my Samsung Galaxy S2 and placed my sim in the V3, and imagine my surprise when the phone didn't recognise my sim card!!
After reading a lot, and testing whatever sim cards I could find at home, I realised that the big/normal sim card slot supports only 850MHz networks, while the micro sim card slot supports 900MHz and probably 850 as well (850 not tested on micro sim slot).
I am quite sure of this because from the 3 operators in my country, I am sure that one uses 850 only, while another uses 900mhz only network (or so they claim).
I ended trimming my sim card down to micro size in order to get it to work.
Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.WD.WG.MP.V11.P15,2104/02/15 02:06
Kernel version: 3.4.5
