[missing-sync-palmos-talk] [OT] Coverage

[Chris Duke]

It's probably mentioned in earlier posts, but CDMA is NOT what they  
have in Europe.

This was the killer issue for me. I can take my unlocked GSM treo to  
Europe and use it anywhere. Either I leave in the ATT chip and pay  
99c per min per call, or buy a local pay-as-you go chip for when I  
make many local calls.  Works incredibly well.

by-the-way, my Treo is syncing fine over bluetooth with Tiger. I  
installed the MS 1.0.5b release, and had to remove the "501" isync  
file (to cure an Isync hang). The hang was so bad I couldn't even  
force quit isync.
