In Finland and much of Europe we can buy devices without contracts and unlimited 3G/HSPA data plans are very reasonable. The networks are also very good.
Only in Finland, Sweden and other nearby countries. In the rest of europe data rates are either outrageously high or outrageously crippled and the networks are just so so.
Not to mention the outrageously high roaming charges.
