Duel CDMA/GSM Blackberry for Verizon? -

Has anyone heard any rumors about a duel mode Blackberry that will have CDMA for Verizon's us network as well as GSM for non US network portability? This would be a killer app for me. A little backgound is in order.
I recently (last 2 days) went over to Verizon and got the 7250. The impetus for this was that my Tmobile 7100T sux. I love the 7100 form factor and feature list (I actually prefer suretype to the standard qwerty) but the phone is awful. It shuts down at random (with both the older 3.8 AND the lastes 4.2xx software) and the voice quality is universally bad. So I decided to go with either Cingular and Verizon. I felt that Verizon probbaly has a better overall network than cingular so I chose Verizon.
I have had the 7250 for a couple of days and I like it (although the holding a calculator up to my head part is taking some getting used to). Problem is, I know I will travel int'l at least 4 times a year (most likely more and usually to W. Europe). Thats was why I switched to Tmobile in the first place as they have great Intl' coverage. But I need a phone that has excellent voice quality, Blackberry Data, AND Int'l capability. So is there a verizon blackberry coming soon with duel mode like the Samsung and Moterola verizon phones? Thanks.
