Using Touch Pro 2 in Brazil? Stock radio?

[kernel610]

My friend is going to be studying abroad for a few months in Brazil and I was going to loan him my old Sprint Touch Pro 2 for his trip. From all the threads and stickies that I read, it doesn't sound like it will be a problem to use the phone once he buys a SIM to use in the phone, right? My main question is about the radio. When I was using the phone, I had it unlocked and flashed an upgraded radio that worked better in my area (Telus I believe). In order to get the SIM working for him, do I need to flash back to the original Sprint ROM and radio or am I fine with a different radio? Thanks for the help!

put a couple of radios on sdcard and flash them if needed through sdflash.

Good idea! Anyone else have experience with using any other radios aside from stock on the GSM networks?

UPDATE: We found out that Brazil operates off of frequency 850/900/1800Mhz. Any suggestions?

It'll still work, you'll probably get edge for data, however.

my country has 900/1800 for GSM and 3G works fine on my sprint tp2 (the 3G is 2100 of course)
