Blackberry Z10

People need to read the other forums out there for information on the Z10. Crackberry.com says the phone will be released, and because of the new OS things need to be changed within the Verizon network. This isn't your typical smart phone, it has to have certain system requirements, meaning Verizon is now in the process of updating their system to meet those requirements. And if you seriously can't wait a short month or so for the phone then that is insane. Personally I can wait a bit to make sure the system has all the bugs worked out so my phone doesn't crash! If you are a long BB user then you should know Verizon and other networks have had problems (rarely) with the system crashing. Usually its a short wait for it to be fixed. And of course they have to try and get as many apps here because we as Americans love having the newest coolest apps around, we are consumers. I personally can't wait for these new apps, because BB has been way behind in the app department and its about time someone gave Iphone and Droid a run for their money.

Also its not like you are missing out on anything right now anyway, no other provider has these phones yet.

Can you share his e-mail address?  Maybe we can all e-mail him and find out when they will be able to sell the phone.  At this point the latest reports say that T-Mobile may be the first of the major carriers to sell the phone.  Verizon should not let themselves get beat by T-Mobile...

T-Mobile is a GSM carrier and BlackBerry has to add the CDMA radios for voice calls o the model headed for Verizon Wireless.

Solavei has already rolled it out in the USA. They are a company that contracts with the four major networks to provide service so we know it is not a "testing" issue or else solavei would not be able to carry the phone.

It is either the carriers don't want to do it, or BB told them to wait.

GSM version, $999.  That's a mighty expensive phone.

But without a contract and less monthly fees..may be a better deal.

What is GSM and CDMA.  I have heard the terms before, but I do not understand their difference.  Does GSM have automatic voice capabilities which allows for immediate release?  and is it better than CDMA?
