Not surprising and happy to help!
Have a read:

you can get a one world ticket from most travel agents in most countries, i got mine with STA travel and for everything listed it was £1800.
The cool thing though is the ticket is based on continents, ours being Europe - Asia - Australaisa - North America (including hawaii, canada, some of central america such as Mexico) So for the price you get a number of flights anywhere in that continent, even if they backtrack AND you can change your itinerary as you go for next to nothing.
Hehe i should go work as a travel agent. Oooorrrr Not.

Yeah I have a rant about going abroad with my phone. I'm with vodafone at the mo, I know I should switch but they keep givin me better deals every year when I try to switch lol.
Last year I just got my K750i and I was going to South Africa like I do most years. The only thing is that I can't use a South African SIM in my phone because of Voda locking
Is this legal? I'm sure that if a company prevents you from using another service is violates EU competition laws?? Anyway I went to South Africa with my phone and I was charged 125p for every call I received from home, bastards! If i used my South African SIM i wouldn't pay anythin for receivin calls or texts. Even tho making calls back home would be more expensive, but when abroad I think most people tend not to ring home anyway.
Also I think now that EU has taken hold, should all calls in the EU be the same price? I bet Americans don't have to pay 4 times their normal call rate to ring someone in the next state!

I would say that a Qtek 9090 might suit your needs pretty well. Quadband phone that uses Pocket PC and has built in WLAN (802.11b). The OS and that the phone has a built in wlan makes you able to install Skype and call for free (or a small charge depending on where you calling to) from anywhere in the world where you can find a hotspot. And except from that you can use the wifi for surfing, updating blog, uploading photos and such. Not a cheap phone (about 850 USD I think) but a multi purpose one.

Wicked man thanks, looks good. I considered the Nokia N series phones with similar functionality, but looks like the N80 needs to be charged everyday so not very practical...

In response to the quad band / tri band point, there aren't many countries that are GSM 850 MHz only, and I won't be visiting them, so fortunately I can get away with a tri band phone.
