Nokia N97 Qusetion???

[iStormfan]

Hi guys, I just recently won a Nokia N97 from my job in a raffle. My question is this...

Since this phone is unlocked right out of the box. Can I just pop in my sim card from my Blackberry Storm into the N97??

Will I still be able to use mms/sms,web etc.....

I have Verizon Wireless by the way.

Thanks in advanced!!

Pop in your sim card and look for the new 2.0 OS that's being released for it. Get Gravity for a twitter app as it's the best app on Nokia..hands down!

I don't think the Sim card will help as Verizon uses esn numbers. If that phone is not in their database I don't think you will be able to activate it.

The n97 is a gsm phone so it will not work with verizon.

Give it to me so I can use it on a GSM carrier, that's the real answer (and the only amount I'd pay for a N97, free)...

So its useless to me then huh??? I really want another phone to use on my verizon network. Is there any nice HTC phones that I can buy unlocked to use on my verizon network??

Not really. The available HTC CDMA phones are generally going to be Verizon (or Sprint) branded anyways...

I was looking at getting an unlocked touch pro 2 for trade for my N97 will that phone work for me?? I seen that phone on Verizons website but they are sold out right now.

If all else fails I will just ebay my N97 and use that money to buy me a HTC from Verizon.......

Why get an unlocked TP2 if you can get a Verizon TP2 anyways?

The only other types of TP2's are the Sprint, AT&T and Tmobile versions. The AT&T and Tmobile one's won't work on Verizon even if unlocked. The other unbranded, unlocked TP2's are gsm only and don't even have US 3g frequencies.

Sorry if I sound like a dork but does my Storm have a sim card?? I heard that CDMA phones don't have sim cards. I was just wondering cause if I can buy a HTC Verizon brand phone from craigslist can I put my sim card from my storm into one like that and will that work??

-Thanks!!

Yes it does have a sim card. I think that is used for if your a roaming internationally the phone will work.

Yeah you shouldn't even need a sim card to use your verizon phones... They use ESN numbers.
