HSN is selling the Samsung Galaxy SII, including a car charger, prepaid SIM, and what appears to be a TPC-style case. This model comes with 16 GB memory with and SD card slot, HSPA+ 42, a dual core 1.5 Ghz processor, an 8 MP rear camera that can record 1080p video, and a 2 MP front camera.

This same phone on T-Mobile's website costs almost $400 (buying outright) or $434 from the T-Mobile prepaid website, though bundled with a $50 refill card; and you don't get the car charger or case.

I was looking to buy this and unlock for AT&T, but I don't know what bands it has or even what model#. Any idea?

The T-Mobile version is a SGH-T989 and AT&T uses the SGH-l777 model. Different shapes and screen size but they share the same bands. If you can get it unlocked it will work but according to this website you'd probably be better off the other way round. T-Mobile now offers 4G speeds for AT&T and unlocked phones in 23 metro areas | Android and Me

I believe the tmobile version is the better one, and can work on att or tmobile. The att version won't get full data speed on tmobile. If I recall, the tmobile version is also the only one with nfc.
