One thing I like is that in the U.S. the phone tells you if you are in U.S. mode or global mode.

I learned the hard way that calls dialed from the U.S. when in U.S. mode don't use a call back. As a test of the SIM, I called a +44 contact number from my phone. It happened to be American Airlines in England. I figured I would have time to cancel as the call back system asks for "accept" or "reject". Much to my surprise, some one answered in the UK and I was charged 84 cents.

Haha yikes! Thanks for the heads-up. I've been wanting to try a test call, but now that I know it'll go through without callback, I won't be doing that! That's a pretty nice feature if you do plan on making a call while in the US though.
