Using my HTC 8X in Scotland was definitely interesting. Since Verizon is ridiculously expensive for oversees, I switched out the SIM card with one from MAXROAM. These guys are great, they are very responsive and any issues I had with the SIM they took care of within 24 hours.
As a camera the phone took some truly astounding photos This is my favorite

Outdoors the phone worked fantastically, I had a pretty decent data connection almost everywhere we went. The keyword is outdoors. In every city, in every building, if I went in to any building and wasn’t near a window, I lost all connectivity. I had my wife check her Iphone and it usually had a signal in every building I asked. So from a hardware standpoint I don’t think the antenna bands on the 8X are well suited for Scotland.
