Greetings All,
I am heading out to the Middle East soon and am in need of a good GSM phone for my travels. While the majority of my time will be spent in Afghanistan, I will be taking vacation in other, yet to be determined parts of the world. As such my thoughts are to have one phone that will work pretty much everywhere and for which I can just purchase local sims and swap them out as I move around.
I am a big android fan, currently have an EVO 3D on Sprint (alas that will not work in afghan. The specs on this phone seems quite good, my only concern is trying to wrap my head around all the offered frequencies. Seems some phone offer some, others others, and no one really all of them.
If there are other concerns you feel I should be considering, please feel free to speak up, ask questions, etc. I plan to purchase it on Amazon, and I am aware I need an unlocked one and will have to pay about $500 - $600 for it.
