Would I be able to use the new Blackberry Storm on TMobile's network if I had the phone unlocked?

Actually you technically should be able to. Even though it would be difficult to physically get the sim card into place, the storm can also handle GSM as well as CDMA. This is because the rest of the world uses GSM and so it has to be able to conform.

T-mobile uses GSM/GPRS 1900, which the blackberry can handle. Just no luck with 3g.

Normally this would not be a problem since the phone does technically have a sim card... however, the Storms sim card is placed in the phone in such a way that it is not easily removable. If you felt comfortable taking the phone apart it might be possible but once things are back together with the T-Mobile sim card in it there is no promise that it would work.

I had a Storm and was easily shown acess to the SIM card at the store via the same method used to acess the battery. The problem was that the phone sucked. Each day it began doing more and more random things, such as denying me acess to my contact list, freezing in portrait or landscape, half of the screen disappearing / going blank etc.Beside that, its battery life was deplorable, its browser wasn't encrypted and equiped enough to acess my bank account online, and it was just generally slow.

If you are with T-mobile, you would be best off with the Google Phone with the Android OS. As for me, I'm with Verizon, and the proud owner of a Samsung Omnia (with a 5 Megapixel Cam / Camcorder and a 24 hour avg. Charge with heavy use)!

Yes very well you can unlock your blackberry and use it with T mobile, but regarding unlocking , codes are the very best method to unlock your phone, here is a site which gives you reliable codes for blackberry mobile-unlocker.com.

Now that it has been established clearly for you that the Storm is GSM capable, back to your original question: Could you use it on T-Mobile. I say no. I say no for the following reasons: --As a default in the US the phone is going to try to use the Verizon network it is programmed by default to.

-- Even though the GSM capability is there, it is probably locked to the Verizon sim that is in it, much as an iPhone is locked to ATT when they ship and would have to be unlocked to use other sims. I am not aware of anyone who has a unlock mehtod for the storm -- Continuing the iPhone comparison, it was fairly "straightforward" to unlock because it was ONLY GSM capable, the Storm would not only have to have the GSM portion unlocked, but it would have to have the default CDMA network overidden as well. ' ****side note: I'm sure some engineering team would be able to do that, and the GSM hardware is technically there, but for all the difficulties I don't think even your average "super user" would be able to handle the task.

You cannot as the phone is CDMA.. TMobile's network is GSM which uses the sim card.. Tmobile & At&T phones that are unlocked can be used on each others network.. Unfortunately any verizon phones will not work on any other network..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
