    I don't know if it's just me or not, but maybe he just popped a SIM card in there or something. But anyway in the DevCon Day 1 picture of Kevin with the Storm (before release) it looks to me like on the screen of the storm it has AT&T as the carrier on there.

    Where do you see the AT&T logo? I don't see it - plus the Storm is only out in CDMA right now, unless being used on a SIM card.

    Right above the clock, but like I said he could have popped a SIM card in there or someone. But it just looks to me like the carrier says AT&T.

    It appears that the Storm is on EDGE, so my guess would be that it's an unlocked 9530 with an AT&T SIM card in it.

    There is a GSM Storm coming to NA this year, but I haven't heard if it's coming to AT&T.

    yes, you can see the AT&T at the top. It's an unlocked 9530 rocking a ATT sim.

    I'm pretty sure you can't use an AT&T SIM in a VZW Storm without unlocking the phone. I mean, I could put my old SIM from my 8800 into my Storm, but it wouldn't put me on AT&T's network as the phone is locked to VZW. It would, however, allow me to access my SIM phone list.

    But I'm wondering why they would have an unlocked Storm instead of the first carrier that's gonna have it. I don't think Verizon would hate a little bit of advertising.

    Beats me, but it definitely looks like it's on EDGE. Maybe it's a 9500 prototype and not a 9530?

    That could be it also, but I just thought it was weird when I seen it cause I knew that Verizon was suppose to have some sort of contract on it.

    They do. It's exclusive to them until a US GSM carrier turns up with a 9520 later this year.

    It was a dev conference, so who knows what model Storm Kevin was holding.

    There are plenty of Storms running on AT&T. I've had one on AT&T since June of last year. And on AT&T's 3G network to boot. It's not a uncommon thing.

    The device in that picture is using AT&T and says EDGE. That's no big deal. As there are how-to guides in the Storm sub-forums on getting them to work on other carriers. Also, Kev grabbed any Storm he could for that shot. But again, there are plenty of Storms out there using AT&T and Rogers. T-Mobile too.

    Yeah, but was the Storm released when Kevin went to DevCon?

    No, but I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. There are always pre-release devices working on other carriers than on which it will be released.

    Oh okay, it was just a little odd seeing it said AT&T and it has a contract with Verizon, but I guess they could have just unlocked it for AT&T SIM.

    Yep. Back in June when I had a Storm on Rogers and said something, ppl freaked. Didn't believe me. Then the radio specs leaked, and they saw I wasn't BS'n. But anyways, yeah it's just unlocked thats all.
