I have an iPhone 3G and keep my Curve just for that-- international travel. I'd get it locked with AT&T though for using local SIMs (call them after a month or more as a customer)-- it's a lot cheaper than international roaming fees.

The 8310 has GPS, not WiFi, and is quite handy.

I was in Scotland, Gernamy and Denmark and came back to over a $600.00 roaming fee on top of my bill. I have an 8310 with GPS. Can I access WiFi and UMA. If so ... how? My service provider said it was only available as an option on the pearl.

Did you read my post?

Go to your GSM provider and call them to send you an unlock code for international travel. At your destination (find out beforehand at travel sites like Lonely Planet's forum) where to pick up a local SIM card, or buy a more expensive, preloaded-minutes card online and use that while roaming. It is a new plan and new phone number.
