Will iPad 2 CDMA work on international 2G networks?

*I am interested in purchasing iPad 2 CDMA, but I want to use it elsewhere other than USA... my questions are a) is there a SIM card tray in CDMA version and b) will it work internationally on 2G networks, here I don't have 3G*

Thanks

iPad 2, iOS 4, CDMA

There is a SIM card tray in the New iPad CDMA (Verizon) Version, and I've also confirmed this with an Apple representative via Online Chat help. It will also work with any data capable SIM card from an overseas carrier, the speed/band depends on the carrier's service (Note: you can't switch between US carriers). The following excerpt from Apple website has made it clear "Ready to take on the world:The new iPad offers the most comprehensive support for fast networks around the world. It’s designed with two cellular antennas tuned to 12 different bands that access a larger frequency spectrum. That means you can travel almost anywhere in the world and get online. And your connection is always fast. iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G models for AT&T and for Verizon connect to GSM/UMTS networks worldwide. But if you want a local connection when you’re traveling, just pop in a local SIM card" from: http://www.apple.com/ipad/4g/.
