well depending on the country you may or may not be able to use it here. i know in korea (not all carriers but approximately half), japan, and one other country dont even bother. they use a pre-final spec of CDMA2000 (the underlying spec behind 1xRTT and EVDO) which is incompatible with US CDMA networks. there are phones in HK though that work here. im not well versed on them anymore though so id have a hard time recommending any. samsung usually has some SICK ass phones that arent in the states but are available in korea, china, and taiwan that you can use here. make sure they are triband GSM compatible and you will be fine. 850 and 1900 are the preferred bands but if they offer at least one of those they will MORE than likely work with your carrier but not always. depends if your cing/att or tmo. they both use both spectrums but not in all markets. |
Noted about triband GSM
I have AT&T so I don't have to worry about that. I plan on getting my phone in Hong Kong.
So far, the places I've been to (Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand), the phones are just as expensive there than in the US without having a contract.
But of course, their cell phones are better :p |
