    The phones are more expensive in the US than they are here.

    There are also a few carriers that use network types that are not supported here

    The phones would also be locked and difficult to unlock

    You can normally pick up a cheap smartphone on sale in CPW here which would be a much bettet idea than getting one in the US

    You have to make sure the phone supports GSM bands and not CDMA.
