Is the V180 locked to a service provider? What type of service are you looking for in the US - prepaid or contract? Or are you looking to just roam on your current European account?

You said it's triband. Is it 900/1800/1900 or 850/1800/1900? If 900, you'll get poorer coverage in the US because it's missing one of the coverage bands in the US. If it has the 850 (sometimes called 800) band, you may have poorer coverage in Europe (depending on where you are), but full coverage in the US. Bill K
