Sim, nao sei se e a mesmo do que Portugal mais funciona em Brasil onde nao lanca ate Septembro. http://metropolitanafm.uol.com.br/promocoes/agosto-mes-do-iphone-4/ depois de comprar tem que desbloquear o iPhone e usa em um operador que usa GSM (sim chip)
2 :
You must make sure that the carrier you want to use on your IPhone with, use GSM technology. I believe the IPhone is a world phone, but most carriers works on 850, 1900mhz. If the carrier you are planning to use works on CDMA, the it won't work. Also, the IPhone must be jailbreak (unlocked).
3 :
The phone will work as far as AT&T being GSM which (I believe) is what is also used in Portugal. You will need to contact your cellphone provider there to see if they have the capability of activating this on their network there. I have absolutely no idea on the systems they are using. Here, even if a phone is available on multiple networks, it is extremely difficult to get one carrier to activate a like-model phone that was manufactured for a different service provider. So from a technical point of view, the phone will work in Portugal; it now depends on whether or not your service provider can and will support you in this endeavor and activate it for you.

Yes. The iPhone 4 can already work in Portugual. But in the interest of saving money & for it to work on local carriers, it'll have to be unlocked. The iPhone 4 is available unlocked from Canada, France & the UK but you'll have to have a contact in one of those countries in order to get it, since it can not be purchased from outside of said country.
5 :
Yes it will work in your country.
6 :
In many countries you can buy the iPhone with or without a subscription. Needless to say that the ones WITH a subscription are mosty locked; this means you will have to unlock/disconnect them (you can have this done for approx. 30 euro). If you buy without subscription, the iPhone 4 is much more expensive, easily up to 740 euro for the 32GB model. Also, in most countries they are sold out. In Singapore and Hong Kong they are the cheapest; approx. 600 euro for the 32GB model. The warranty (guarantee) for iPhone is NOT worldwide, only for the country you bought it in. The iPhone definitely works in Portugal with all GSM networks, you do need a micro-sim from your local provider though!!!

Apply for jobs online. Make it so you leave in the morning. Lie if you have too. But they cannot control you. So apply to every place you can and do the job. If they try to stop you just ignore them. When you have enough, move out. If you do not do this, you will live with your family and be in the same condition you are now.

Will my ( european) computer work in USA

Will my ( european) computer work in USA ?
I'm going to the US for three months an I'm taking my computer and I heard that here in POrtugal the electricity works in 50Herzt ( or Ghertz, I don't know ) but in the US it works in 60 hertz. So, will I be able to charge the batteries of my computer there? If it doesn't, is there anything I can buy to "adapt the differences of hertz" ?

Most laptops have universal 100- 240V power adaptors. If that's the case with your laptop, you only need a plastic adaptor to fit the power plug in a US outlet. They sell them at the airport and electronic stores.
2 :
It will work fine. All computers these days run directly off of DC, and the power supply units directly convert the incoming AC to DC, and the circuits they use to do that do not care about line frequency at all.
3 :
Check your users/owners manual to see if your laptop's battery charger can be used on 120 volts. If it can then you are all set. If not you will an power converter to change 120 volts to 230 volts. They can be bought at electronic stores and luggage shops. No need to be concerned about the currents frequency; it will be going through a full wave rectifier and converted to DC.

What is the best way to travel Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Turkey

What is the best way to travel Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Turkey?
I am thinking of flying into lisbon (portugal) and then just working my way across to turkey, in the order of portugal spain italy greece, then turkey, and than flying back home from there. Is the best way to do this by train? Should I buy a cheap used car and just drive my way across?

Train would be easier, and the rail system in most of europe is good (check the europass to see if it works for you). buying a car would probably be a red tape nightmare, since you'd have to conform to the regulations of five different governments. Also look at http://www.hostelworld.com/ to make low-cost reservations. Enjoy!
2 :
A cruise would be the easiest, because it would go to a lot of the Greek islands.
3 :
The only "jump" you have to do is between Spain and Italy, since they don't border and it'll took several hours by train (you have to go through France) and between Italy and Greece there's the sea; so, Portugal/Spain by train; Spain to Italy by flying is the fastest way, though train and ship are possible; from Southern Italy you could enjoy a ferry, while if you leave Italy for Greece by the Center or North, it's better a fly. Then Greece/Turkey by train.
