    I believe from reading the other threads, that you can only get the phone to work and not SMS/MMS or e-mail The browser doesn't work either. The SIM card that the Storm uses, I think, is on the European band and not the American.

    I don't doubt that the phone can be used on AT&T or T-Mobile as others have placed pictures of the phone being used on those networks. But I believe those unlocked Storms are only being used as a phone and have lost many features like the browser and e-mails.

    I doubt it. I only say that because AT&T and T-Mobile run their SIM cards on a different band than the European providers. Verizon's Storm will work with a SIM card inserted, but you won't get the correct band to recieve and send data which is required for those services.

    this probably a stupid noob question but oh well here i go, are all storm unlock codes unique to the device/sim? or is it one code unlocks all?

    You get a unlock code from verizon for YOUR phone. Idk if they are device specific but they can't be used more than once. Don't quote me though

    What sort of process did you have to go through to unlock the phone with Verizon?

    I am very interested in the international unlocking abilities
