Hi:

I have no personal experience with your situation and I have actually moved to the BB platform, but you might take a look at this site to see if they can help. I think the big problem you will run into is that data is generally through long-term commitments. That site seems to be offering an alternative so perhaps there are others or maybe there will be others soon.

As I said I have no experience, but I remembered seeing this posted to another board. Perhaps you could email them for assistance?

I do believe one of the other users mentioned they switched to a BB8830, which does have international capability by adding a SIM. I have the 8830 with Sprint and it is a World Edition. That would also be supported by the site I linked. Just a thought.....

I hope it is of help. Let us know....

I bought a unlocked quadband treo 680. I can pick up a local SIM card just about anywhere in Italy (or on ebay here)... but.... I need web access.

Am I crazy, or is this more complicated than it should be!

Any more options from you folks out there?
