For what it is worth, I'm on the 1350 w/Blackberry unlimited plan domestic only, though. I did not select nor do I have a SIM card for the phone.

I was hoping to do speed tests between the slightly sluggish Cingular 8800 and my new VZ 8830 ... so far, CING is winning!

is this item had 2 slot for SIM card?
and is this dual network on together ? so can on together between cdma and gsm , ?

No, just one slot for a GSM/SIM card (CDMA doesn't use a SIM card).
Yes, can be on both CDMA & GSM, its a dual-standard BB world phone.

Yup; however, he should be able to call *611 (customer service) even without the phone being activated...or is that 911 without activation? Don't rightly remember...
