Default Buy phones from the US

When buying phones from the US what do I need to watch out for to be sure they will work on our networks?

Check what bands they work with compared to ours, look on ebay at the band listings on the china phones. I thing we are the only country to run nextg network.

Yeah the US networks are on a different frequency. Although dunno what their 3G is now (HSDPA?) ANYWAY buy a quadband phone, or better yet buy a phone from somewhere in Asia, it should be a lot cheaper.

US also has(had?) a lot of CDMA. No good for us.

buyer beware, they are some people on ebay and even on this site selling phones that are from the "US"

pretty sure they are imported from china though
