Hi SEAJ Sifu, my 2 cents' worth here....
Data roaming is required only if you are expecting MMS messages (multimedia messages). For just normal text message, data roaming is not required. So rest assured your text messages will still reach you.
iPhone and other phones? Well IMHO, both have their pros and cons. It also will depends on requirement for the person using the phone. For me, as I am using a Mac and iPad, the advantage I get is the eco-system for the platform/OS created by Apple. Only make sense for me to use an iPhone as my computing needs are all centered around Apple products. So if you are using PC (Windows based products), then not a bad idea to use Android phones or the new Windows OS phones.
Pixel268's observations on the screen quality comparison between HTC and Samsung phones are correct, Samsung does have better screens. So if one of your criteria for good screen, then iPhone 4/4s (retina display) or Samsung phones will meet your requirement. These are the best phone screens in the market at the moment.
Oh btw, UNLOCKING and JAILBREAKING is 2 completely different thing, don't get confused with them. iPhone is usually sim-locked to certain telecom companies due to certain trade agreements, so you won't be able to insert another telecom company's sim to use the phone and you will need to unlock the phone to do so.
Jailbreaking is to allow the iPhone to use apps that is not approved by Apple and not available in the Apple Appstore.
