thanks. you just have to put it out there, and fyi a buddy of mine was able to put his sim card in a verizon storm only access to voice and sms. and other than that the phone "sucks" according to along time mobile guru. to many issues with it. Hopefully we will see some imporvements with the newer devices, how about the 8900 blackberry coming to t-mobile. supports GPS....not to shabby

My 2 cents:
I tried the storm it was bad- horrible in fact- I am a major fan of the Curve and cannot wait for the 8900 - I know T-mobile will get the storm just renamed just like all other blackberry's someone gets it for a few months then it goes to everyone- I suggest that before you make the jump go to a Verizon store and just hold it try it and see how it actually feels most hardcore berry users I talk to do not like the push to click design - I say go for the curve II but again that's just my @ cents
And when Jon there robs a bank for me I am so getting the 8900- 10 of them in fact

Well lets get a little fact placed into this misdirected thread.
Verizon Wireless (for those who don't know is a joint venture with Vodaphone/Verizon) has an exclusivity agreement with RIM that has a clause with sales #'s. If Verizon is unable to meet their end of the deal, RIM is free to open it up to other carriers. How long this is set to be in place has not been disclosed. A GSM Storm has already passed through the door of the FCC meaning they are very capable of releasing a GSM storm at any given time if Verizon drops the ball. Currently Verizon has been more than meeting their sales quota so don't get your hopes up.
The chances Tmo will get it in the near future (if ever) is slim not because of being a gsm provider, but for the pure fact ATT has more pull/money to grab it first and sign an agreement that allows them to be the only GSM carrier to have it in North America for 90 or 180 days and Tmo being the only provider running the 1700 3G band. RIM putting out a version compatible for such a small audience just wouldn't make sense in pure $'s. Just as it was decided the Bold will skip Tmo, good chance the Storm will to, but there are plenty of new models in RIM's pipeline. If you really want it that bad, when the GSM version drops (which it will eventually, because lets face it, it doesn't have the iphone's popularity, the sales for vzw won't maintain these initial volume levels) you can just get it unlocked and run with it on tmobile.

I'm running a Unlocked 9530 on TMO and everything works great (Not just voice and sms). I think the phone is awesome. It being only my second day with the device, I think it will continue to grow on me.

possible 2009 late 2009. there were different ideas and specualtions of this device but it looks like it will be a sliding storm device. so it will have a keyboard, probably something similiar to an htc device. hopefully we will see a US release date on this devie and to a gsm carrier not a cdma

The Storm is still kicking, and running well with no problems. I tried the 8900 out (GF just received hers on Tuesday), and I can not go back to such a tiny screen when the Storm's screen is so huge! I love my STORM!!!!

I just got a storm for my birthday and so far I like it and it works pretty well. There are a couple things that you have to do to get it working right so BIS etc work, but other than that im enjoying it.
