Verizon Storm Unlockable for use on ATT or T-mobile?
According to the specs the Verizon Storm will have be Quad band GSM/EDGE. I know it only has 3G 2100 for use in Europe. The verizon phone maybe much easier to get here in the US than the Vodaphone version. Additionally neither phone will support Tmobile 3g. GSM unlockable?

NO it cannot be used Verizon uses CDMA, TMO uses GSM to different technologies

The Storm is being released on Vodafone, buy one there and unlock it. It is GSM.

Yes, it will be unlockable.

The only remaining question that we have not got an answer to is if unlocked will it operate on GSM with the presence of a Verizon CDMA signal.
This is 100% speculation on my part. Me along with other people at BlackBerryNews have been talking about how Verizon would possibly make sure the device could not be used on another carrier in the US. |

I just wish we could have a bb that could use tmo's 3G network... |
9500 = GSM Only = possibly unlockable but you need to go to the EU to get it (vodaphone,tmobile)
9530 = CDMA/GSM = No unlocking possible because primary radio will be CDMA and GSM/3G HSPA will be for international roaming capabilities Though i think 9530 is great for only the near term, since it'll support those rare countries with CDMA, but in the long run, GSM devices will make better sense since LTE is the next path which Verizon is planning on jumping on! |
If you look at the 8830 options, in mobile network there is a way to make it global, 1xev, or gsm only. So I wonder if the 9530 will have the same options and make it useable on att and tmobile.
