I'm traveling to Italy (mostly Florence/Tuscany and Rome) and want to use my old HTC Touch Pro 2 from Sprint while I'm there. I believe I can just buy a sim card on a prepaid phone plan in Italy that will work for voice and maybe data.

A couple questions: if I use WIFI, will I be using any data on the prepaid phone plan?

Can I use GPS or some sort of Nav program or CAB while in Italy that won't use data on the phone plan? I used to use Bing for a Nav program and it was great, until the shut it down.

Lastly, if I remove the Sprint sim card and install an Italian sim card, will that wipe out all my contacts?

Thanks for any ideas.
