Sprint has added Samsung's dual mode Ace to its repertoire. The Ace supports both CDMA and EV-DO networks as well as GSM/GPRS networks which are more common outside of North America. The Ace also comes unlocked, a very convenient feature for travelers as it allows you to use foreign carriers' SIM cards, which drastically reduces calling and data expenses overseas.
