Re: My experience using TP2 outside the US (Thailand mostly)
To corroborate others regarding HSPA, I am also using HSPA in Germany. I'm using a prepaid service called Tchibo (uses O2's network). They have a flat rate $20 a month for HSPA data, and 15c a minute to other mobiles. Or, you can get a 100min pack for $10, and unlimited tchibo-tchibo for $5, which is what I added. The funny thing is that it's way faster than my hotel wifi internet... during peak usage I can't get more than 500kbps with my hotel wifi, but tethered to my tp2 I get at least 1Mbps, sometimes over 2. Also, GPS works great... get a lock in 30 seconds or less in either google maps or IGO.
