More advanced answer. AWS is a specific band of frequency (1700) for voice and data like CDMA and GSM. A phone needs to built with an AWS radio in it in order to operate in an AWS market.

MetroPCS initally started using CDMA networks but the newer markets (NYC included) are AWS. If you want a touchscreen phone to use in NYC you might want to research the Samsung Finesse.

To make things even more complicated (or maybe simpler) MetroPCS is planning to start unrolling a 4G LTE network in 2010.
i know about 4G situation my dad told me about it but man that sucks so we stuck with the gay ugly phones they got
