Germany, like the rest of Europe, uses different mobile frequencies from the Americas, but according to http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/rim-blackberry-curve-8900/4505-6452_7-33485567.html your Blackberry is quad-band, so you will be OK. It will be very expensive for you to use your Canadian SIM card for calls in Germany, as you have to pay charges on received calls as well as the calls you make yourself. Many people buy a local pay-as-you-go SIM card in the country in which they are travelling, and give that number out to their friends, but for this to work your phone must not be locked to Rogers.
