FYI - from what I am seeing on a number of Android boards there may be problems using the Photon for data internationally with local SIM. Summary:

1) Photon is unlocked world phone so you can pop in a non-US SIM;
2) Voice seems to work OK;
3) Conflicting reports on data. Some say that it works for them, others report problems. Problem seems to revolve around ability to set APN appropriate for local SIM and some indication there is finger pointing between Sprint and Moto over who is source of problem.

I have an interest in the resolution as I will be in Italy in October and planned on using Photon as hotspot with a Vodafone IT SIM.

I'd work on resolving it but since that can only be done outside of US (as the Photon is locked out of responding to ATT/TMO GSM towers), I can't.

So, if anyone has any experience using the Photon for data abroad, would love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance
