If there were differences between the Storm's carried by Bell, Telus, and Verizon, then it would denoted so in the model number. Since this is not the case, all 9500's are the same, and all 9530's are the same. This is not even up for debate so I have no idea why you're having trouble believing it.

did u know that rogers wireless supposed to get storm 9520 with wi fi this year but was cancelled you can look --->More Rogers BlackBerry Storm 9520 images appear | BlackBerry Cool

Yes, I did see that. But since they didn't release it yet, they don't have it...

Who says the 9520 isn't being tested.

for example :

telus and bell does sell pearl 8130 , curve 8830 and storm 9530
rogers sell pearl 8110 8120, curve 8300 , 8310, 8320 and also curve 8900 and bold

so I am sure wireless carriers in usa does get different model for pearl, curve , bold and storm.

Actually, yes, the carriers do decide what models they want, however, they cannot make RIM add and subtract hardware features from models. Most carriers will disable certain things in the software if they don't want them to be used though. the reason telus and bell (along with verizon, sprint, every other CDMA provider) sell the xx30 models and only the xx30 models is because the xx30 model designator is RIM's code for CDMA radio model. All other units except the xxx0i models are GSM phones, with xx10 designating an internal GPS in some models and xx20 designating WiFi in some models. All World Edition phones are xx30, because they have a CDMA radio with a secondary dual or quad band GSM Radio.

You're right, your phone is a Qualcomm 3G unit... Both the Niagara and the Storm use exactly the same CPU, the Qualcomm MSM7600, a 524MHz 32bit RISC CPU that is single core, uses the ARMv6 Instruction Set and has a ARM9 companion chip running at 133MHz
