One thought that may make it more worthwhile to import an out-of-market
phone is that many offer dual SIM capability (standby or active, depending
on the model).

That could be really handy if you travel a lot. Here in Canada, none of
the carriers offers subsidized phones with dual-SIMs- they want you to
buy their expensive roaming services. For more than a few days, I
usually buy a SIM locally.
