I used to have a Sony Ericsson T610. Trusty little phone, had it for more than a year (and two or three travels to Germany) until it fell and the screen broke. I really loved it though -- looked good and worked well. Before that I had a Motorola V66, which also worked flawlessly, and an Ericsson T28 before that. Now I just got a BlackBerry 7100t, but have yet to take it abroad. Most phones that T-Mobile is selling are (at least the last time I checked) multi-band phones, and should thereby work on your travels. Throughout Europe, the predominant GSM frequencies are 900MHz and 1800MHz, while here in the US it's 1900MHz. If you get a phone that supports 900/1900 or better 900/1800/1900 you should be fine. Dual band will be ok though, as there aren't any 900MHz blind spots (that would be better covered by 1800MHz networks) in Europe, as far as I know.
If I didn't have the need for BlackBerry enterprise mail, I'd go for the T610 again. Also because I don't like clamshell phones.
