The eye of the Storm is almost upon us and we are bracing for its impact! The first BlackBerry with a touch screen packs plenty of options in a well looking body...

I've traveled for work with Alltel, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and Nextel (when they were separate). It all depends where you travel, Alltel currently has the best coverage where I travel, followed by Verizon, then AT&T and Sprint sucks. I don't have coverage with Verizon at my house and that's why I changed to Alltel. I still currently have Alltel and Verzion, because AT&T had horrible coverage where I travel. When I lived in Texas AT&T did a lot better then Verizon though.

Indeed, the article mentioned a unlock code that could be provided after 60 days for the sim card. I have been playing around with it and I was suprised to see It showed I had reception from at&t and tmobile, does this mean that you would be able to roam on gsm in the U.S.??????

LMAO who would be reporting buttons failure when there is only one button and no one has one except for store demos which have been reported as working flawlessly? sounds like another hater who cant get this bb so he is going to bash it. reports about a phone that hasnt been released is a PRETTY LAME attack, come with something more concrete. See the circuit boards LMFAO....hilarious attempt at trying to be intellectual. NO WO FO??? with 83% coverage of the US in 3g who needs to drive to a wifi spot to get internet, especially when your paying for it.

Your full of crap. Ive played with both preproduction and current productions units and none of what you said it true. Well except for the lack of WiFi of coarse. What buttons would be falling off the storm? The four buttons it has at the bottom of the screen are very solid. You cant see the circuits and if you knew anything about electronics or had even ever taken a touch display apart you would understand why the circuit are not visible. You are an idiot who clearly just wants to bash a device before it launches in hopes of maybe having a few of your friend still think your cool. Get off your moms couch and get a life. Perhaps an education or at least some general knowledge would be beneficial next time before you post. Until then go back to playing halo and drinking mountain dew.....

I got to play with one a few days ago and was pretty disappointed, laggy..the accelerometer sucked and it kept freezing up, but the launch versions came in today and it was MUCH better, all the problems I had encountered seemed to be corrected. I'm sure its not perfect but def glad they pushed it back to fix those things.

no it uses over seas GSM signal, but here in the US it is locked down to work only with CDMA .

So when they said "Unlock" it are they reffering to the capability to work outside the U.S.?? You have to wait 2 months to go global. I dont believe that. As I said, If you go to the network options you can see AT&T coverage and Tmobile, of course they are locked, but that is my question. Will unlocking the sim card allow you to roam on gsm in the U.S.?? Im looking for someone whos actually used one, not just from what they read on phonearena.

according to all my trainings i honestly believe it means before it can be unlocked for us gsm usage... Considering it has a one month worry free promotion(as do all verizons phones) two months would put it outside the policy and you would be forced to pay a cancelation. It would force someone to try and use verizon service if they wanted the phone and not just buy it and use it on say att
