Re: use of NextG phone overseas

Voytek,

My understanding is that NextG is an implementation of UMTS with HSDPA at
850MHz. Using HSDPA at 850MHz is pretty unique, and was doneby Telstra to
provide longer coverage distance across our wide

I think you will find that most European HSDPA implementation are in the
2100MHz band.

So you may have limited data experience in Europe with your mobile.

I have no practical experience in this and I may be wrong, but it might give
you a point of reference.
