on importgsm.com the k790 is $110 more than the k800 but the phones appear to be identical. What am I missing?

Welcome to 2 years ago.

The difference is the freqs

K790a - 850/1800/1900 + EDGE
K790i - 900/1800/1900 + EDGE
K800i/K810i - 900/1800/1900 + 2100 UMTS

Yes, it's compatible with tmobile, but if you're in the USA, you'll miss out on the 850 roaming and EDGE. For most areas, you'll be fine.

T-mobile UK or T-mobile US?

If it's unlocked it will work with any T-mobile sim. If you're in the US it'd be good to get the k790a. If in Europe then get the K800.

T-mo is heavily 1900 band anyways, I'd just save money and get the K800
