Actually, my parents are going to Belgium in April and I think I'm going to get them a Sprint Hero (like mine!) for Christmas, since their current Samsung flip phone is totally unusable in Europe.

I don't know about wifi, but you can set the clock to any city you'd like.

GPS will work if you can get a lock, problem is you won't have data unless its wifi so you'll need a sd card nav app, copilot is only one I know of.

Get SKYPE and Fring, that is a great setup for voip.

Gmail will work, but not HTC's app I don't think (it didn't before update I don't know about now)

I recommend a $10 unlocked gsm phone and getting a sim while you are there. They were $25 in Jamaica for unlimited calling for 7 days, my phone was 2 dollars per minute!! Otherwise use WiFi and Voip for a flawless system. Oh, skype is about .02 to .80 cents a minute abroad so you will have to pay for it when it is overseas.
