I too would like to say nice job could not have said it better myself.
If you buy a local sim you may have voicemail problems. That is one reason I got a UK vodaphone. I know if you get vodaphone germany the voice prompts are in german. This can not be changed though the rest of your phone can be in your desired language.
Just a thought.
Sinamon you did a great job.
