Data speed will be slower in most places. Battery life will be shorter. A friend of mine who was drooling over the iPhone and therefore considering the mandatory sentence to 2 years of Cingular service told me that the normal per minute price in Europe is around $1.50/minute, but if you get the add-on for international roaming it drops to around $1/minute. Still high, but 33% less.
Another issue I'm not sure has been mentioned is whether the 680 is locked to Cingular and whether they'll let you unlock it, given your status as a new customer. In months (years?) past I recall discussion about them making one wait until one has been a customer for some period of time before allowing the phone to be unlocked. No direct experience here, but something to watch for, I guess! Unless you got an unlocked 680. I've paid so little attention to the 680 (never would switch to The New AT&T) that I don't know if an unlocked one is available direct from Palm. I think you'll like the 680 itself. I believe the battery is the same as my 755p and I've adapted to the shorter battery life and hardly notice it. If the 680 is as solid as the 755, that build quality and the smaller form factor makes a surprising difference in your hand compared to the 700p.
