Yes and No
You can buy phones from Bestbuy or circuit city if you wish. However, they must be a TMOBILE phone. (i.e. with Tmobile written on it). When you buy new phones without a contract, cell phone companies charges you A LOT to get a new phone.
I explained this to your previous posting in that US GSM carriers lock their phones so you must use the carrier's phone in order for the SIM card to be recognized. You can, however, purchase an unlocked phone and use your SIM card. A unlocked phone is hard to get in the US so your best bet is probably ebay.
