just wondering, if we import a phone from overseas to use on xts network, will all features work as if we had gotten here (once apn etc is changed) as long as its compatible on xts network.

The main reason im curious about is features such as gps, if they will work etc in nz

Services that do not require handset specific settings should work (such as any DRM music, if any). GPS is network independent.

I just imported a new i-mate ultimate 8502, factory unlocked. Worked perfectly on XT, except it wouldnt notify me if I had a voicemail (no icon or anything). I think it has something to do with the XT SIM card. I tried it on vodafone and it worked prefectly. I'm going to buy a Palm Treo Pro from the telecom store because I really need to know when I have a voicemail, and I'm not mucking around with importing another phone.
