Anybody using O2 Atom Exec in the US?

Just wanted to know if this phone will work in the US and if so, which mobile carrier is best to sign up with. Thanks.

yes, i am using it a o2 atom exec in the US on Cingular. however, because it is only tri-band gsm, it tends to get a bit poorer reception. i would suggest t-mobile because, as i know, it does not rely on the 850mhz band, which is not supported on this unit. have fun!

Continued to search on the internet for compatible carriers in the US. Here's what I found:

Alltel communications -> not compatible
AT&T -> semi-compatible
Centennial communications -> semi-compatible
Choice wireless -> fully compatible
Cingular -> semi-compatible
Edge wireless -> fully compatible
Nextel -> not compatible
T-mobile USA -> fully compatible
SunCom wireless -> fully compatible
Sprint -> not compatible
Verizon -> not compatible

More feedback are welcome.

I have t-mobile and bought the Atom Exec from Ebay. I had to return it because of very poor connectivity - I was connected only about 50% of the time. I upgraded to the Orbit because it is quad band and am having no problems with it. I recommend that you not put your money into the Atom Exec - my experience was completely frustrating.
