~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~Its rumoured here in the UK that they want to sell their VZW stake.

Man, I hope this is right! I was just about to jump ship to a GSM carrier so I could get a Blackberry that I could use while in Europe, but I hate the idea of dropping my superior CDMA service her since I am in Seattle far mor than I am in Europe. This could be my dream machine! (especially if it is the same as the 8800!)

My VZW rep has told me that there will be a combination CDMA/GSM BB released by VZW after the New Year sometime. It will operate as CDMA in the US and other countries with CDMA networks (Canada, the Carribean, S. Korea, etc.) and operate as GSM in other countries.

My company has some Motorola A840 phones (pieces of junk, for the most part) for interational travellers and they have a Vodaphone SIM for international GSM usage. As much as Verizon and Vodaphone keep saying that Vodaphone wants to divest VZW or that Verizon wants to buy all of VZW I think it remains a fairly symbiotic relationship. But, we'll see...

I'm hoping that this unit comes out soon and then I can start transitioning my Cingular users to VZW.

My guess is a variation of an 8703e with GSM capabilities. I highly doubt that an 8800 series BB with CDMA and GSM will be headed towards Vzw soon, if ever!

It'll be an 8800 with CDMA/GSM-GPRS, media player, microSD, more memory. Should be out by May; Test models are already out

[BCoop8184]

Oh yeah? Where are these test models McQueen? I would be happy to test one out for them...

Ask your RIM rep, I should have one by the end of the month

[BCoop8184]

RIM rep? Sure..."Hey RIM guy! Can I get one of those unreleased and unannounced super secret Cyclones that EVERYONE is talking about? Great!"

[trigga15]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~it will have nothing on BlackBerry!

[BCoop8184]

trigga what does that statement mean?

The cyclone will be an International device with both CDMA (Verizon) and GSM (Vodafone) capabilities. Believe it will resemble the 8800 as I have heard it will have media capabilities

It is the 8800, and yes it will have both CDMA (Verizon) and GSM (Vodafone) capabilities as mentioned in an earlier post

I just sent an email to my RIM Rep so if he have any right to tell it I should know in the next 48 hours
