hmmm you might have just broken my heart D2... i have a local service called Metro PCS and it doesnt use sim cards. ive been told that any cdma phone can be plashed to work on their service as long as it doesnt use a sim card.. so i wonder where this would leave me [>:]

Well its released on a CDMA network but still uses a SIM and has the ability to run off GSM Frequency, Im Excited!!!!

Edit for replied post from D2
He would be able to use the basic wap browser by using the same "hack" that people use to get basic wap functionality on BB's on tmobile for only 5.99(the tzones package) instead of adding the BIS package for 19.99

I think this is the first CDMA using a SIM. It is on Verizon which is CDMA. But the Quad Frequencies it runs off allows both CDMA and GSM. It depends on what your carrier runs off of but I think with Metro you have to flash anything that isnt their phone for them to recognize it, it should be able to work though,

And quad band has nothing to do with CDMA and GSM in one phone. Quad band is simply that....one signal type...multiple frequencies(bands)....quad band GSM is GSM in these frequencies "850/900/1800/1900" keep in mind that doesn't cover japan or south korea....

Right, but a lot of CDMA phones arent quad band, which allows it to run on the frequencies. Most CDMA are 900/1900. The facr that the Storm has 850/1800 is allows those GSM networks to pick up on it. as well as the 1900, and sometimes the 2100 depending on the phone, which CDMA doesnt run off of.
