As in the other thread, I suggested the Moto Atrix or HTC Incredible S. Both light years ahead of the 3GS.
Myself, I have the Moto Defy. Once it's rooted and running Cyanogen, it has a program that allows you to switch the baseband. In other words, I can make the operating frequencies work for any part of the world just by selecting which Region I want. Big ^
