I picked one up a couple a couple months ago for a trip to Europe in September, and while I've used unlocked US carrier GSM phones in Europe before, I've never used a dual/mode GSM/CDMA phone like the Droid 2 Global. Would love to hear an FTers trip report.
My D2G has an extended battery and as I'm thinking about this now, I think I'll leave it as is and use the D2G just for going online in wifi areas. I can't remove the battery cover unless I go to a Verizon store; it's that tight so I don't want to tinker with it.

I actually have an old global AT&T phone (2 years) that already is unlocked so I will use that to make calls. This trip is only for a long weekend.

Is it cheaper to buy the SIM card for Germany here before I go versus doing so when I arrive there? Is there a website any of you like for inexpensive SIM card rates?
