No, most probably not, if you don't happen to own one of the very latest Dual-band or Tripple-band phones that are prepared for this.

Which is the best GSM phone?
It is impossible to say. Most GSM phones are good enough. Try to ask your friends and colleagues what their experiences are. You almost always get what you pay for. Check the real prices, not the subsidies ones, then you´ll get a hinch about what you get. The largest producers in the world are Motorola, Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens and Samsung (not necessary in that order).

Both phones are about the same quality. It's a matter of taste.

Can I connect my PC to the phone and in that way administer phone numbers and such?
Yes, many mobiles have data cables or IR (infra red) connection.
