Does Cingular offer any 'world phones' for their GSM plans? These are
the ones that are compatible with European GSM standards and can be
switched between various country plans (they've got to be the unlocked
variety, of course).

A Cingular quad band phone could be used in Europe, if it is unlocked,
Cingular stopped selling unlocked phones about a year ago.

Or a European unlocked quad band phone could be used here.

Question: There are tri-band and quad-band phones. I know what a
quad-band phone is. It covers the two US bands (850 and 1900) plus the
two European bands (900 and 1800). But the tri-band phone is what? I'd
guess that, in Europe, its missing one US band whereas in the US, it
would be missing one EU band.
