will this phone work in the US?

I really like this Panasonic X-300 but it is coming from Hong Kong it looks and the instruction are in Chinese. Will it work on T-Mobile in the US? Will i have problems with it? Thanks a lot
I know i know there is a mobile section but i need a new phone quick and no one is in the phone section so if you could wait a few to move it i would greatly appreciate it.

Do you question that ebay description that says Service Compatibility: AT&T Wireless, Cingular, T-Mobile?

If it is a GSM phone and it claims to operate on the GSM frequencies that are present in the US (1900mHz and 850mHz), then you can presume that it is at least compatible with the US GSM carriers from a voice call perspective. There is ALWAYS going to be a question whether premium services (such as picturemail, sms, videos, internet access, over the air downloads, etc) will work.

FYI Always make sure the foreign GSM phone is unlocked (they usually are). And unlocked GSM phone will allow you to insert your own carrier's GSM SIM-card (containing your account's phone number and other information) for use in that phone. A locked GSM phone will only allow a specific GSM SIM-card to be used (most likely NOT YOURS).
