I am also considering to buy and unlocked phone off of ebay. Specifically a Motorola W375. The phone is only a triband though and does not support GSM 850. I did find some maps of coverage for Cingular for my area.

GSM 850:
www.gsmworld.com/cgi-bin/ni_map.pl?z=3&x=21&y=13&cc=us&net=b2

GSM 1900:
www.gsmworld.com/cgi-bin/ni_map.pl?z=3&x=21&y=13&cc=us&net=be

As far as I can see GSM 1900 has coverage in my area. It actually appears GSM 1900 has better coverage. My current phone is dual band 850/1900 and I get 4 bars at my house. As far as I can see I would be fine buying this phone but I'm not sure. Do you guys think that I would be fine buying this phone or not?

As I was informed by Elmo, alot of the 850 coverage overlaps the 1900, but if 1900 is fine for you then by all means go for it.
