Roc a fella is a great HoFo source and while I can see VZN rolling this out in the not so distant future I don't think it going to happen with 8703e release.

Actually, I have gotten this same info from my source, and it seems like Verizon and RIM are working together on getting the FCC doc's released the day or two before the units release. This is going to be huge, and bring over a lot of users who travel overseas. Imagine, EVDO and great coverage here, and EDGE service overseas, on one unit.

Amazing...definitely will presuade me to buy one. Of course I already have Verizon so it isn't hard to persuade me to buy...

Gina, the CDMA/GSM combo device is not the 8703e, but a yet unamed berry, maybe headed for a fall/winter release? All I know is that its not to to far off.

Does anyone know when is coming to SPRINT (if so) I am currently with SPRINT thinking about switching to Verizon...
Just a few Q's?

To the users that have gone from Sprint to V...
How is your experience?
Service?
Blackberry Support?
Would you go back to Sprint? why?
Was this a good financial decision?

V to Sprint...
How is your experience?
Service?
Blackberry Support?
Would you go back to Verizon? why?
Was this a good financial decision?

Thank you for helping me... I have to make a business decision for about 9 people but I am so confused... Spriand V are almost identical

8703e documents posted on FCC site.

No GSM support.... CDMA only
