I used to have a Blackberry and I loved it!  Here is a quick search of all the blog entries I submitted to this blog using my Blackberry from all over the world using AT&T's International Blackberry Plan.  From game parks in Africa on the board of Mocambique to Benares, India I had no problem, snapping and sending, chatting and surfing without ever worrying about data overages.  I used to travel a whole lot more than I do now, taking groups of people on tours around the world. 

Here is a link to all the posts I made from my Blackberry!

I'm working on a trip to return to Bali with a group and this time it will be with my iPhone.  I love my iPhone, and I miss my Blackberry Curve.

When I was in Costa Rica, I used my iPhone, with a purchased phone number from Skype, forwarding my iPhone local number to Skype.  It worked just fine, as long as I was in a wifi zone, people calling me from home rang right through to my iPhone... oh, as long as Skype was running too.  Not a bad plan.  Saved me having to run up international phone rates.  If you want to know more about how that all works, leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
