Stay far far away from anything made by Motorola..
Anything wrong with any of our higher end motorola model phones isn't surprising.. EVERY single one of them have problems my dumb ass thought it was solved when they came out with the Razr 2 NOPE same software, battery, call quality ect ect problems as all the previous models..
If you want a phone with the capabilities to use it overseas then the Blackberry 8830 would be the best choice with Verizon which is the phone I am using I don't plan on going overseas anytime soon so I couldn't tell you how good it works off of U.S soil I'm sure you can look it up online somewhere..
