For what it's worth, the new "international"
edition of the Kindle has a GSM radio, which is
the system used throughout most of the world.
Domestically, AT&T has a GSM network, so the
Nook is also GSM and can make a data connection
worldwide.
Use of a Nook outside the US depends not only
on the right kind of radio, but there need to
be agreements for data service as well, so the
Nook may only be "international-ready" rather
than "internationally-activated".
