NO.. here's the thing..Verizon is CDMA...( no SIM card)
for you to activate a phone.. you will need to call the Customer Service and have the phone activated...
comparing it to a GSM phone where yo simply put the SIM card in the SIM card slot of any phone..
Though I am a Verizon user I think it is a little nutty that RIM would delegate their iPhone/Droid response to just one US carrier. I am willing to wait for a Torch...but not too long. Droid may be my only option for the next level of Smart Phone. I prefer to have a Torch.
No offense but the Search Forum feature would be nice. The overwhelming consesus is that a snowball would have a better chance. The Torch was developed in partnership with AT&T. The 9000 never left for other carrier as is likely with the Torch. The most likely VZW BB is the S3. If you really want a Torch, change carriers.
