I've put both my faith and money into an iPhone and O2 have given me a good deal on roaming, I explained to them that I was going to be travelling before I bought the phone and told them I’d have lots of people reading the website.

iPhone does everything I need it to while on the road (phone, email, web browsing, currency conversions, language translations, 2mp camera, games, videos), works pretty much anywhere, and has Google maps with triangulation at the click of a button, I have all of my documentation stored as photo’s, Oh and of course is an iPod Widescreen Video to boot.

http://www.coolgorilla.com/iphone/translator/languages.html this is my most used application to date, I also have stored on it Polish/Russian/Farsi language pieces for those just in case times. A little fore thought is all that’s need to take the hassle out of life’s unexpected occurrences.
