Straight talk is ATT. He should get 3g.
Shipping to the States should be about 15 business days.
Yes, Straight Talk is an AT&T MVNO. (850 and 1900)
The China phones I suggested, and some other China phone brands have 850MHz, but very very rarely have 1900MHz.
MOST of AT&T is 850MHz on WCDMA, but some places are 1900MHz (some places it's both).
You can TRY to call AT&T and ask them about which frequency is used in your area, but you may have to talk to a higher level tech support before you can get an answer. Or they may not tell you at all. If you or a friend have an MTK phone, you can easily test this by disabling 1900MHz in Engineer Mode, rebooting the phone and testing 3G.
The short of it is, most all of AT&T is 850MHz, but not all.
I think you would like the THL W200 very much. The generally use very good LCDs and decent cameras. You should have decent firmware support and replacement parts available if needed. MTK6589T, 8GB and 720P (720P IMO, is the best choice for 5" phones. Disappointed many are switching to 1080p).
Whatever you do, don't buy a generic s4 clone. Buy a well known brand (THL, Zopo, ZTE, Hero, Star, Gionee, K-Touch etc...) If in doubt, just ask.

I use straight talk and would like to spend around $150 -$200. I looked at the POMP W89 and that looked good but there are so many options and Im really not sure what sites are legit and which ones arent.
