In a word, no. You're stuck with what you're stuck with. Remember  
that these phones still have to adhere to Part 15 rules. Remember,  
too, that 5.8 GHz is a *very* short wavelength, and it will propogate  
accordingly. Meaning it will have more trouble getting through walls  
and be pickier about line-of-sight and so forth. The real advantage  
to 5.8 GHz phones are that it's a less populated band and thus,  
you'll have fewer eavesdroppers and fewer sources of interference.  
Bear in mind that not only is your microwave oven operating pretty  
close to 2.4 GHz (and very broadbanded at that), but so is your  
wireless Internet connection, your XM or sirius radio (which can  
easily get wiped out by your microwave oven), your cordless phones,  
things like short-range video retransmissions, and goodness knows  
what else. Not such a problem on 5.8 GHz, but if it's range you're  
after, IMO your best bet is a 900 MHz phone. Well, actually, your  
best best bet is an old analog 46-49 MHz phone, but everyone under  
the sun can hear those, so you'd trade off some privacy.
