I read somewhere that the G2X will not work overseas as do other T-Mobile phones. Does anyone know if that is correct?

No, that is not correct. The phone has UMTS support for bands I and IV. Band I is used in Europe and Asia. It's just missing the AT&T bands used in the U.S.

First you will need to contact Tmo for the unlock code. Depends on which state you are in, it could be 2 weeks, it could be 1 month before they can send you the code.
Then you can use your phone with any GSM carrier for voice. For data, I know 2G / EDGE would be no problem. For 3G in other countries, refer to the response above =)

Just to be clear about my earlier response, "Band I" is 2100 MHz, which is supported by the G2x and is used all over Europe and Asia. With a local SIM (or data roaming, if you have DEEP pockets!), you will get 3g abroad.
