Talking about GSM-non GSM interoperability, I've seen some info that
seems to suggest that European UMTS phones might be able to roam on at
least one of the various Japanese UMTS networks, but I can't google up
if this is really true, or just pertains to the Internet part of those
phones, or what. Anyone know for sure?
