The spec sheet you linked states: "GSM 900/1800". These are the frequency bands used for GSM in Europe and much of the rest of the world, and are not the 850/1900 MHz bands used in North America. Note that it is possible that this phone is actually a quad-band phone (it's probably a software enabled setting), but based on the specs it's "no go".
If you want to be 100% sure that a phone will work in North America, buy either an 850/1900 or a quad band (all four bands) phone and make sure that it is "unlocked" so it will work on any operator's system.
