GSM doesnt require the IMEI of the phone to be loaded into anything. the SIM card is what tells the phone what phone number is assigned to it, so it can be put in any other GSM phone (assuming it's unlocked or locked to the same network as the SIM) and it will work. the only other question is the frequency of the phone. if the phone is not 850/1900, it is not reccomended in Nother america on Cingular, since we use both, but in different areas. if i am not mistaken, ATL should ...

GSM handsets do not need to be loaded into the system. A 3G handset may not work, I am not sure how that phone operates.

The Moto phone in question will work on ATT's GSM network with not problem.
Since it is a Europoean 3G phone it will not work on AT&T's existing UTMS system or Cingular's pending lauch of 3G. Europe uses the 2100 mhz for 3G and the US will use the 1900 mhz.
So you will have a nice looking phone, but can't use all the cool 3G features that comes with the phone.
I was thinking of bringing over a Nokia 6630, but why pay $300 and not get to utilze streaming video, etc.
