In the US, this basically is every T-Mobile USA BlackBerry that has WiFi. Models include the 8120, 8220, 8320, 8520, 8820, 8900, & 9700. There are a few other UMA-compatible handsets like the Samsung Katalyst & a couple low-end Nokias, but almost all of those have been EOL'd for a while. To avoid getting charged for incoming roaming calls you could always hard-divert (forward all calls) incoming calls to another number of your choice, or at least your voice-mail. Then before you place a call, you could (on the BlackBerry models at least) go to Options -> Mobile Network -> connection preference 'WiFi Only' to ensure you will connect to only WiFi.
