Importing Phones from US

zilog_jones · 2007-11-11 22:03:35

Someone at work was asking me about buying a Nokia N95 and a Blackberry Curve while in the US (crap dollar etc.). I know they use different systems over there but everything seems to be quad-band these days. But will a US phone work here once unlocked and stuff? I've heard of people getting phones from the UK and elsewhere…

I know they use different systems over there but everything seems to be quad-band these days. But will a US phone work here once unlocked and stuff? I've heard of people getting phones from the UK and elsewhere in Europe, but never North America, and I assumed there was a reason for this...

Is there something I'm forgetting?

I know the warranty will be invalid here. And what about customs if it is possible?

AFAIK someone is actually going over there in person and is going to bring it back (don't really know these people lol) - I was talking about customs in the airport. I dunno what they're like with regards to this kind of stuff.
