VZW also had the Moto Q first, which is not yet available in a GSM model, along with some other great normal phone handsets IMO. “Yes, Verizon was first with the 7130…which was also the first BB, at least in America, to have 3G…”

I do agree with #2 that the world seems to be headed for GSM...and supposedly, by the time we get around to 4G technology, there will be some sort of universal standard that will allow all carriers to merge into the same technology and be compatible...at least that's what the plans are right now... One more word regarding CDMA, though: it's interesting that all forms of 3G, including UMTS/HSDPA, the form of 3G used by GSM carriers, are ultimately based on CDMA technology. In some sense, the whole world, including GSM, is really headed towards a CDMA based technology. Yes, Verizon was first with the 7130…which was also the first BB, at least in America, to have 3G…

I too prefer Verizon service. Here in the US we have a unique problem...our best network is not using the technology that is most used across the world. It's that whole GSM vs CDMA economics issue. Quite frankly, seeing as Verizon just got the 87xx series, I'm not holding out my breath for a Verizon cameraberry anytime in the next 6 mos. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised... The 4G standard is rumored to aim to resolve these issues and standardize all carriers on the same technology, but until then... Robb, I feel your pain. I too prefer Verizon service.
