All media-capable BB's only support certain formats and CODECs. Check out the knowledgebase at Blackberry.com. It's not a Verizon-imposed limitation.

It doesn't support the GSM frequencies used by those carriers.
In the US, you can only use the 8830 as a CDMA device, either with Sprint or Verizon Wireless.

...and your CDMA carrier would have to be willing to activate a device from another CDMA carrier. Most won't IIRC.
