Global Mobile Blackberry Storm
Well, the Blackberry Storm has been out for almost 7 months and there has been some intense speculation about the next one coming. In the mean time, I got confirmation from a friend and seeing it myself that you absolutely can Subsidy Unlock the Verizon Blackberry Storm. The instructions can be found here.
The more amazing thing in looking more carefully at the specifications, is that the device is truly a global handset:
Radio Technology Supported (Mhz)
CDMA: 800/1900
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS: 2100
(no 1700 Mhz T-Mobile USA 3G support)
One small thing to note is that in the United States, this phone will only work on EDGE and not 3G. The only thing missing that I hope will be addressed in the Storm 2 will be WiFi connectivity and possibly the ability for PC Tethering (in order to use the device as a modem). Currently, Verizon Wireless allows broadband tethering for a monthly fee (currently $15.00/month). Aside from the Lifestyle applications that get a lot of the hype from Apple and the iPhone, the Blackberry has a stable software platform and battery life and communication services (email, texting, etc) are rock solid.
This phone is perhaps as close as you can get to true global coverage, aside from a Sat Phone.
