Default Unlocked T-Mobile G1 will it work in Europe?

I want to buy my cousin a G1 and send it to Sweden, will he be able to use DATA? Or will it just be the phone and sms?

Thanks in advance.

Yes since it's a quad-band GSM and dual band, WCDMA band I (Europe/Asia) & band IV (T-Mobile US).

You just have to be sure that the phone is unlocked and your cousin knows the local access point (APN) so he could enter it.

Can you change the APN ON THE PHONE?

Default activation?

How about activation? I saw lots of post claiming that you need to use a t-mobile SIM first to "activate" the phone to be able to get access the android os, settings etc?

Does it work with Android Market and all with Telia?

Nothing to worry about activation.
Just unlock , you will be able to use it without any problem.

Read the attached document.
It helps you activate your T-Mobile G1. Have added settings with PICS.
