You might want to forward your calls to your handset, a number of
countries, not sure about the ones you listed, all do free inbound
calls, and pushing calls over voip to most countries is pretty cheap,
then you don't have to worry about collecting emails :)

You might want to look into something like TrekBuddy (not sure if it
works on nokia's) it allows you to pre-do maps and store them on the
handset so you don't need network connectivity.

I don't recall specs of the phone, but is it quad band GSM/triband 3G?
if not you might have issues, although nearly all GSM based handsets are
quad band these days.
