Yeah it's true, 850mhz is superior to 1900mhz when it comes to in building coverage, but Physics 101 tells that the lower the frequency, the further it travels, the less bandwidth you get.
So, in a dense area like New York, you are giving up on capacity but switching to signals that travel further away. 850mhz is just a shortcut to provide more coverage area, with less service quality. In today's world, cell phones require more bandwidth than ever. Nobody I know is really talking on the phone as much as they download data on their phone.
