ONLY in the USA apparently.  See clip from the USR echo below:-

ÿ{at}SUBJECT:International calls about x2
Well, did some checking for the folks complaining about not having
internet access and not being able to dial the 800 number for
information on the x2 upgrade. Unfortunately the word I get is that no
announcements have yet been made about international availability of x2
at this time so no provisions have been made to accomodate these calls.

Please don't shoot the messanger!!!!!!!!!!!!!
