I'm a newbie...just buying my first BB (converting from the Treo after MANY years!). I travel quite a bit, and am looking forward to using my 8830 overseas. However, Sprint's roaming rates for voice are pretty high ($1.29/minute in Europe). Since the Sprint 8830 is unlocked, is there any way to get a local SIM from the country I'm in, and still be able to get BB data (eg, email from my BES server, as well as from the BIS server for my Yahoo mail)? I've searched this forum, and can't find an answer to this question. If one is there, I apologize, and would appreciate a link to it. Thanks in advance!
