8830 world edition

[hazephase]

What I hear about this phone is that you can travel arond the world and not have to change smartphones, phone numbers or email addresses . how true is this ?

With the 8830, you can use it in the U.S. on it's carrier's CDMA network and then you can pop in a sim card and use the GSM of the country you travel to outside the U.S., depending on which carrier you have, the the GSM portion maybe unlocked. Verizon for one locks the sim to just it's parent company Vodafone's network overseas.

If this is really the case and you travel around the world a lot this might be just what you might be looking for. I think that if I traveled that much I would probably use it.

My last job I traveled between the US and Europe...For me the best bet was to get a Blackberry through T-Mobile (GSM) and use it everywhere without the hassle.
