The Nextel network is different than other networks, so locked or unlocked it may not work. The original Sprint network is the same type as others.
For a North American phone you will need tri-band as the first two bands are for the N.A. networks. If you have or acquire a phone from elsewhere (Europe, Asia, Australia, etc.), it need only be a dual band phone.
I purchased a couple of dual band Nokia phones on eBay (from GB and AUS), which I use in Thailand. Each cost me about $40 and came unlocked. Dual band phones are cheaper because they do not work all over the world, but I don't care as long as they work outside of N.A.
