All GSM phones are "world phones" theoratically..but the t-mobile and at&t versions do not have CDMA..

As for MetroPCs..are you in a CDMA area or an AWS area?

On cdma area a sprint/verizon tp2 will work...but AWS area t-mobile one should "theoretically" work since I think it supports AWS on that band...

Its the other way around..cdma version has GSM too..but not US 3g and no AWS..

Buy it and sell it on ebay for $250, will make a good profit and use that money to buy a CDMA touch pro 2!!!!

it wouldn't matter if it was an AWS area or not, a tmobile tp2 will not work on metro.
