I looked at WirelessImports and this phone goes for $65 but is specifically marked as not for use in the US. Is that a technical issue (ie its not a SIM phone) or a *technical* isssue (ie the FCC)??
Freiheit, there are two versions of the F3: a 900/1800 version for most of the world and an 850/1900 version for Central and South America. We tested the 850/1900 and it worked great on AT&T, but you'll need to have it imported. Just make sure that the version you're purchasing is 850/1900 and you shouldn't have any issues.

check out tiger direct. They had an 850 listed for 49 bucks. Not bad for e-ink.
