Since I'm not an expert at how Verizon's network is setup, I have a question. Does the Storm work on the GSM standard (and have a slot for a SIM card?) If not, then I'm not sure what unlocking it will do...

i believe its both CDMA and GSM (quad band) and does have a SIM card slot. but initially i was told that the Verizon (version vs. the Voda Phone)couldnt' be unlocked.

the phone can be unlocked, but the VZ has crippled the Store to work on the GSM network domestically. the Vodafone Storm is the one that can be unlocked and work properly on GSM domestically.

Sounds like the Storm as a sea of bugs, anyone have problems with the BB9530
