VZW BIS also semi-functional here in Seattle. Can't load web pages. Apps which use BIS connectivity fail - work fine when switched to direct TCP.

My Verizon BB8830 works fine with my Cradlepoint CTR350 and MBR1000. I assume that the PHS300 would be similar, but I don't own one to try it. In case it matters, the BB is running 4.2.2.196

The VZW Canadian data roaming pricing is quite reasonable though. $2.05/MB.

(unlike AT&T/Cingular, for example, which is almost an order of magnitude more expensive)

The 8830 has the trackball, GSM 900/1800 for international travel, and Bluetooth DUN.

If you don't need or want any of those, then the 8703e is a fine choice.
