chances are that some will and some won't. in my experience, customers bringing thier asian phones over from cdma carriers can usually activate eq., problem is, from my pov, i don't know if it will work until i try.

$1599 is the commmon price we charge for the StarTac Aniversary Edition. However we do have special prices on all of our handsets for all Phonescoop.com members.
On the top right of our page http://www.wirelessimports.com there is a place to type in a "Group Code". Type "Phonescoop" and you will notice the prices of most the phones drop.
The Star Tac VIP is at $799 for phonescoop readers which is about half off.
