And 3G Internet with the ability to check email and talk voice at the same time. But that in trade for battery life far less than my GSM curve. To be fair, the BB 9000 will have HSDPA in the GSM one, taking down its battery life too. BUT, at least in the GSM model we will be able to turn OFF 3G to conserve battery and still have EDGE data. CDMA variants will not have that option (luxury). And just the fact it is CDMA will still guarantee worse battery life even with data turned off.

BUT I still see Verizon as being a really good carrier. I have been with them for a very long time, but my love for devices is what causes me to go to AT&T (verizon sucks with new and good units). If phone manufacturers magically decided to produce lots of CMDA phones, and the selection was better, I would most definitely go back to Verizon.
