That, and the fact it actually works overseas. Sadly, the Verizon version is only good here in the good ol’ USA.

We don't know that. Among the many rumors is that Apple is getting a combined CDMA/GSM chip from Qualcomm. If it supports GSM, then you can use it overseas, just like the other dual-standard phones Verizon and Sprint offer.

I don't know if Verizon supplies SIM cards for those, or if you're on your own to find a SIM and service overseas.

Verizon (and sister company Vodaphone) provides the SIM for the world-edition Blackberries (Tour, Bold, Storm) so I doubt this would be any different.

Of course, you can still use a local SIM to avoid roaming.
