Samsung Galaxy Nexus (LTE)

I took my Nexus LTE to China and I received coverage there, text and data, however didn't try calling. I called Verizon and they said yes that the Nexus LTE is classified as a global device and that I can use it internationally. So has anyone tried this phone in Europe? I had it working in China.

Currently I have my personal Nexus and simple global flip phone from my company, and I am hoping that I can dump my flip phone and use this everywhere.

TIA,
Alan
