AT&T are rolling out a nationwide GSM 1900 service, and GSM 1900 is available in major centres more and more frequently. Of course if you have a tri band 'phone and your service provider has an arrangement with a US service provider, you can roam on your own handset. For instance in LA I can use either AT&T or Cingular, and I believe T Mobile also have a GSM service, which piggy backs on top of Cingular Wireless. One thing that seems to be a problem in the US is texting, which does not seem to be fully implemented on all networks. Finally I have read that some providers in the US are now rolling out GSM 850, just to confuse matters further. Others may well have later updates or corrections to this.
