I hope you don't mind me asking....but nobody seems to be able to tell me if the new color sidekick has international capabilites. I am buying a color sidekick thru t-mobile and it should arrive next week. I will be in Europe for one month this summer and wanted to use it for sending and receiving email and also as a phone. My t-mobile salesperson says this sidekick does not have dual band capabilities and probably will not work in Europe. Do you know anything about this?

If the sidekick will not work in Europe, I need to find perhaps a rental phone that also has email capabilities, but none of the rental agencies (eg. thru t-mobile, verizon, at&t, etc) have an email (data) phone to rent.

There must be businessmen in the US who travel to Europe and need a phone and/or email device that works internationally.....do you know of any such devices or plans?

Thank you for any information you may have,
