    Are you sure they meant that it doesn't come with a SIM card instead of it not having a SIM card slot?

    No I'm not sure.. Pc has been shutdown but email them tomorrow morning.

    You're saying it should have a sim slot ?

    Personally, I don't know, but that's what you and others have been saying. There's a difference if the seller says there's no SIM card and no SIM card slot. Double check that.

    I just checked VZW's site and here's what it says:

    Dual–band 900/1800 Mhz GSM/GPRS
    (outside North America)
    So I think it would be safe to say it has a SIM card slot.

    But make sure the GSM band will operate here in the US if that is what you want to do. I thought they were usable only outside the US frequencies...

    Why? The Verizon reps know nothing also!

    And when they "think the know something", it's usually wrong...
