Seeking: international travel tips for the iPhone
In a few weeks, I'll be taking a trip to Europe with my iPhone 3G S. I would like to be able to use my phone and an Internet connection while I'm traveling, without ending up owing AT&T something like $3,000. (You've read the horror stories?)
So, for all you experienced, cosmopolitan world travelers with iPhones out there, I'd like to ask your tips on what I should do to ensure I don't get stuck with absurd phone- and data-roaming charges while I'm fiddling with my iPhone on another continent.
Also, are there any good travel apps that are must-haves when you're traveling?
Help?

Hi!
I suggest you download 2 apps: skype and a wi-fi hotspot locator.
