There is still no commercially-available equipment for the 902 MHz
amateur
band that I am aware of.

Using commercially-available equipment is cheating anyway. What does it
take to modify PCS cellular phone firmware for digital communication on
902? Is it just a matter of firmware or isn't the RF section able to tune
that far out of band?

could be things have changed without me noticing but i dont think digital
PSC type stuff is allowed for hams... maybe in experimantal bands?
in the poplar comm freqs it just FM, ssb, AM, CW, a little FSK, some packet,
a little SSTV, some full TV (usully in conjuction with emergancy support
operations)

anything encrypted or encoded was a big no-no
