My wife and I both have a European mobile with pay as you go plans in the UK and Sweden--the two places we go regularly. Just switch out the SIMS card. A little clunky, but we've had the mobile numbers in both countries for years.
I have an iMac, Mac Book Pro, iPad and iPod, so the iPhone seems like the option for me.
I have thought about an Android phone, but want to stay with VZ regardless of what I get. It does look like the VZ iPhone will be out this winter--tied in to the roll out of 4G in a number of markets late this year.
By the way, I'm sending this from DL #2049 on the way to SFO. I left the Sky Club early so I could talk with the Gate Agent. Since doing the dry-run, I'm in to Gate Agent stuff. Flawless boarding and the door was closed seven minutes before the scheduled departure time.^
