I Have A Bunch Of Questions Regarding Gsm And Data

Hello, I'm new to the forum and need some help from the experts so here I am. I will be traveling to Spain and France in October (spending most of my time in France and Spain) and I am looking for the ability to surf the internet at the fastest sppeds I can using a tethered mobile phone. I have read up on Wind's data plan and am looking for some clarification. Let me preface by saying that I haven't purchased a phone yet I will probably purchase either the Nokia 6230i or the LG U8330. I will choose between those phones when I better understand which one can reach higher speeds on the European networks I will be using.

Below are Ebay listings that provide info on the two devices:

Nokia 6230I

Notice that this is an EDGE Class 10 (4+1, 3+2) device with speed up to 236.8 kbps

LG U8330

Which one of these phones would I get the fastest conection on in the contries I will be spending the most time.

Also should I go with Wind and if I do how do I use the data plans along with voice or am I better off getting another SIM card. If anyone can tell me a better way of achieving my goal of fast internet surfing and phone use while in that part of europe I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks to the community,

Tom
