Touchscreen Blackberry = 9500 = Thunder = Storm = who knows what it will actually be called when finally released...

I have to say that Apple seems to have hugely messed up with the 3G... Not much improvement over Version 1 and yet a whole slew of problems. I suspect that the next release of the iPhone will have shorter lines of people willing to pay for the privilege of being beta testers. Not slamming Apple... it happens to everyone at some point. I just hope that this does not happen with the Thunder. It would seriously hurt RIM if they were perceived to be releasing a prototype to Verizon. Let's hope that the Thunder 1.0 is worthy of the Blackberry label.

I believe there are phones that do this or phones in the works that do this using the accelerometer or camera as a sensor.

And of course there are GSM models of the Thunder.

I suspect that Crucial means that most non-American versions of the Thunder will have to be GSM since that is the predominant technology internationally.

The question was, when will the Thunder come to GSM?? Well. Its here. There are GSM model Thunders. But you guys should have already figured that by yourselvesn with no help from me. The question is, how is theThunder going to be deployed when its released. That I am not going to share.

Will we be seeing a CDMA version of the Thunder in NA before we see a GSM version?

Ok Crucial...my head is spinning. Everything we've heard is that the Thunder is both GSM and CDMA but only has Euro GSM frequencies. Are you saying there will be models of the Thunder for U.S. GSM frequencies? If so, what about the supposed exclusivity of the Thunder for Verizon/Vodaphone? Unless, the Storm and Thunder are two separate phones and one is U.S. GSM with a qwerty keyboard?

I read somewhere the other day that the thunder would be a lifetime verizon/vod exclusive

LMAO! Step back and think about that one for a second...

You even said Rogers is in Canada.

Canada, eh?! Yeah, Canada = Rogers

Canada = North America

North America is not Europe!

You can run a Rogers device on TMobile or ATT...
