TMoUSA's WAP settings allow full desktop browsing, from my experience. I've never used a Nokia smartphone on 3G, just TZones, the old $5.99 plan. All flash and stuff worked fine, but some ports were blocked, blocking my IM and VOIP apps.

They used to force you to call them, request global access, they'd then ship a SIM (probably 2 days tops) and update your account. Now, the Tour comes with a SIM and is ready out of the box.
No. The radios are the most expensive parts of the device.
Verizon was taking a hit on the global traveler market. Sure, you could rent/borrow a GSM phone or BB when going overseas, but that's just one more thing to be done before the big trip.
BTW, Japan uses some additional bands not found on the U.S. offerings and so a rental would still be needed there, unless you grab something cheap while in Japan.

There seems to have been some technical issues with the Forums where a number of our larger threads were lost. We managed to recover some of the bigger ones but unfortunately the Request for the N900 was lost. :smileysad:
So, feel free to start another one here :smileyhappy:

ok, those prices are creepy.
i guess that's how the providers try to make it difficult for drug dealers etc... because those are obviously the only people interested in pre-paid plans...
