Well, I saw gray market GPRS handset being sold here is the SF bayarea, eventhough there is no official support for them. Motolora V66 (US$99 with 1 year contract), Ericsson T39 (US$39 with 1 year contract) and T68. These are all tri-band GSM phones and they may be have come from Europe or Asia. No idea.

When I was in HK and China before X'mas, Nokia 8310 was selling VERY WELL there with street price of around US$350. So is Motolora's V60 (~US$400) and V66 (~US$300). Ericsson T68 was doing BIG push in HK for about US$500. I have friends that have Nokia 8310 and others who have T68 but NONE of them used GPRS service. The important thing to them is that the phone is the LASTEST/COLLEST model and has the all the new features (including GPRS).
Even my non-tech savy cousin (who don't even use computer much) know what GPRS is. She have a 8310 but only use it for voice.
