question about Motorola Timeport P7389

I just purchased an unlocked Motorola Timeport P7389 to use later this
month in England with a Virgin sim card. According to the Motorola
instruction manual, when I get to the UK I should change bands by
scrolling through the menu to an item called "Network Selection/Change
Band."

Trying out the phone here in the United States (it is roaming on a
Voicestream band), I cannot get the "change band" option to appear.
Under "Network Selection," there are options for "Available Networks,"
"Network Search," "Preferred Networks," and "Find New Network," but
nothing that says "Change Band."

Does anyone know if this would be a network-related feature that will
show up when I am in the UK? Or is the phone likely to be defective?


Thanks very much.
