I am wondering if I am able to use Asian Unlocked Tri-band GSM phones
in USA.
I will be working at either Texas or Indiana, I don't wanna change the
phone I have.
Since I will be travelling from Asia to Europe and US, I just wanna
keep the phone by changing the SIM card.

AM I ABLE TO USE the Unlicked Tri-band GSM phones in US?

As posted above, just make sure you go with tmobile since thay ar
primarily 1900 network and that's likely the US band your phone has
Cingular operates on both 850/1900 (with only 850 in a lot of places)
so you definitely do not want to go with them if your phone is lackin
the 850 band

does that mean if I have quad-band GSM phone(such as GSM
850/900/1800/1900 MHz), I can use the phone anywhere in US?

Yes. a quadband will give you complete coverage anywhere there is GSM.

The answer is probably. Most GSM service in the 'big city' is 1900
Mhz. However as you move to the 'burbs' and outlying areas, some is
850Mhz, and a triband doesn't support 850Mhz GSM...
