Best freakin phone I ever had. I've tried the curve and pearl. And the world edition,by far, exceeds those hands down.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-08-18 18:24 from j8LNIts a CDMA phone which means that verizon and sprint the network is programmed inot the phone but on verizons network the have sim card holder which you can unlock to so t an be used on any network and basically you dont use verizon for anything and pop your sim in with your data contract and set up the settings in options then go to advaned and down to TCP and then program in your settings for your network its sounds way worse than it is beause this is what ive been told and only the verizon network has the sim card holders an no other CDMA network and also when buying the phone used on ebay if thatsw hat your going for sometimes you may actually find a blakberry 8830 that used to be on verizon but now unloked but you have to ask is the blackberry's pin unregisterred so that you an set up your own email address otherwise if u are bying it for email and stuff and have a data plan to do so its worthless i like to buy from this seller on ebay turnonyourmobile he sells all unloked phones he in the uk,london but does not sell 8830 and or 8130 and or 8330 and or 9530 and or 9630 but he sells all versions of the vurve apart from 8330 and the pearl except 8130 and sells all versions of the 88xx series except 8830 and all the pins are unregisterred which is a great plus cause he states that in the listing

hope this helps alot of you out there
