No data transfer in Brazil - Touch Pro, Fuze General

I could not transfer data in Brazil with non of the Brazilian providers. From some countries (Germany, Spain,...) I could not be reached by phone. My home provider is Proximus (Belgium) who has a roaming agreement with most of the Brazilian providers. Who knows the explanation?

I personally tested my TP (I have Proximus also) in: Germany, Poland, The Netherlands, Denmark, France, Spain and Portugal. All worked fine, recieving and making calls had no issues. I even used 3G on those locations, no probs at all.
It does not surprise me that data connection did not work in Brazil.
If you browse the forums a bit, you will see that in North-America 3G is on a different frequency or band then in Europe. If I'm not mistaking: Its the same for Brazil. So basicly: no 3G in America using EU TP (yet).

Can an Italian Vodafone card be attached to a Dutch plan?

I'm going to be traveling through Europe this fall. I have an AT&T-locked iPhone 3g and a fully unlocked Google Ion. I'd like to buy SIM cards as I travel, so I have mobile web access.
I will be in these countries:
- Italy
- France
- The Netherlands
- Sweden
Vodafone serves both Italy and the Netherlands with affordable pay-as-you-go data plans. Suppose I buy a Vodafone SIM in Italy, load it with $10, sign up for a weekly data plan, and cancel as I leave Italy. Can I then load another $10 on that same card to sign up for the Dutch data plan when I'm in Holland?
So far, it seems that both TIM and Vodafone offer pay-as-you-go data in Italy. Vodafone also serves the Netherlands. Tre serves Sweden. Haven't seen a good one for France yet.

Trouble with South Korean Sim. [SOLVED]

Hi guys and girls, I've got a bit of an issue.
My Niki100 (HTC Touch Dual) won't seem to read my shiny new South Korean USIM.
The phone is originally from Australia, and has been quite happy roaming around on the 2100mhz 3G network here in South Korea using my Australian (3G) USIM, but it won't read the South Korean USIM.
It reads enough to pull up the number from the USIM, which shows in phone services, but it won't register on the network at all.
I was expecting it to play nicely and just forget about the GSM part of the phone and continue connecting on the UMTS (WCDMA) band, but apparently not.
I've tried a variety of ROM's and Radios without results.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Solved: It was a combination of needing a new Sim Manager version, and the retarded IMIE lock South Korea puts on all foreign phones.

[Q] A few questons about XOOM MZ601

Hi,
I wanna buy _ebay._com/_itm_/_Motorola-XOOM-MZ601-32GB-Wi-Fi-3G-Unlocked-10-1in-Black-_/_121223554694?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item1c397ca686 on ebay.
I live in Russia and have a few questons about it.
1. Russians 3G (HSDPA) frequency are 2100 MHz. In description of this lot specified that HSDPA frequency are 850 MHz. I ask seller about it, he says, that he dosen't sure about it, and it can be 850/1900 MHz and that I must search specification on the Internet. I google it and found some inconsistent results. For example on _pricehendphone.blogspot._ru/_2011_/_03_/_full-specifications-of-xoom-mz601.html specified 2100MHz, but on some another sites I found 850MHz, 850/1900MHz. So I'm a little confused about it. Are XOOM MZ601 has many modifications with different HSDPA frequency or it some mistakes on specs? If second, what specs are correct?
2. On this forum I read, that another region XOOM dosen't work with another region SIM. For example: USA XOOM dosen't work with EU SIM-card. But it can be reflashed for another region. I looked at _motorola-global-portal.custhelp_.com/_app_/_standalone_/_rom-images and found EU firmware. But according description on that page EU region includes only UK, Greece, Romania, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Italy, Ireland. No Russia on this list. So does XOOM MZ601 will work with russian SIM? May be anybody have that expirience?
3. Can it be upgraded to ICS or Jelly Bean? I found some unnoficial firmware, but only for EU region. So can i reflash it from US to EU and that upgrade it to Jelly Bean or not?
Hope for fast answer, because our "beloved" goverment wants forbid any foregin buying soon (it's will happen through 50 days or earlier).
Thank you in advance and sorry for my English.
