I admit that I have been very critical of Verizon for releasing BlackBerry devices a year, in many cases, after they first appear on the GSM carriers, especially after Mike Lazaridis boasted about how quickly they can port the BlackBerry over to platforms other than GSM.
I, however, have to give credit where credit is due. Set to launch May 14th, it is only taking Verizon about 3 months to release the BlackBerry 8830, a variant of the BlackBerry 8800 which first debuted back in February on Cingular and just a few weeks after the 8800 appeared on T-Mobile. To top it all off, Verizon is offering the BlackBerry 8830 $100 to $150 cheaper than the other carriers.
Not bad at all Verizon…

It’s been rumored for a while but it is a rumor no more. Verizon has officially announced the BlackBerry 8830 which will go on sale May 14th.
The BlackBerry 8830 is the first global CDMA/GSM BlackBerry that will offer always on email in about 60 or so countries. The 8830 can also be used to make calls in over 150 countries, however, the device is locked and Verizon is charging $1.29 to $2.49 per minute depending on what country you are in.
I am sure that we will have more news about the BlackBerry 8830, but, for now, take a look at the full Verizon BlackBerry 8830 press release after the jump.
