Hi all,

new to the site, and definitely new to the GSM concept, as i've been a sprint user for the past 5 years!

i'm moving to London for a year this fall, and am researching my options. So far, the best bet seems to buy a phone from here (much cheaper!) and use a local SIM card from there. My plan is to get the SIM from there and buy a 'recharge' card so i can keep a permanent # for the year. Question is: where can i find FAIR PRICED unlocked GSM phones without signing up for a plan (i checked amazon, and T mobile). Or...is it better to buy a locked GSM phone, and then have it unlocked by some of the websites that offer that service?

Also, would you recommend a dual-band, or tri-band?

...or if anyone has any suggestions about this, since i'm still researching my options!

thanks so much!
