Is the need for an "International" SIM Card ending?

So you're saying these devices allow you to enter profiles for several carriers? I see that the site you referenced has APNs for TIM, Wind, and Vodafone in Italy. Since it is a 3 branded device, it probably has 3 already in it. That would cover me for any provider I might want to use. I contacted the vendor, and he also thought it wouldn't be a problem.

I'm not sure, but I believe I should also be able to use it with AT&T back here in the states -- it supports 850, 900, 1800, 1900, and 2100MHz -- but their rates are pretty bad. The DataConnect Pass is $15/day (100MB), $30/week (300MB), or $50/month (1GB).
