- I found this article, which basically indicates that any unlocked CDMA phone would work on Verizon. I am not sure about the validity of the statement, but thought you might be interested to see the article.
Can you use unlocked phones on Verizon
If so, for example, an unlocked Q10 SQN100-2 model should work with Verizon per the chart below:
Attachment 301003
If these are all true (as they seem), you might have some options!

- 4g LTE: - CHECK! ... actually: LTE/HSPA+/UMTS/GSM
- miracast - CHECK!
- wifi direct - CHECK!
And that's not all ... but then you already knew that.
Seriously, except for the 'extra' 16 gigs built-in memory, the currently available Z30 already HAS all the features you're looking for next time. It's like the future being available today already; AND you don't have to line up or camp out to get it.
How cool is THAT?

Until a Passport or classic put out real numbers, then it is nothing more than the BlackBerry fan boys buying them. Z3 is selling well. Z10 sold well when priced appropriately. I'm not saying that PKB won't sell well, but until I see real and sustained numbers....

The Passport has a real keyboard, unlike the all touch BlackBerrys...and unlike iPhones and most Androids. BlackBerry fanboys will buy whatever, but the Passport and full touch audience are still very different for the most part.09-28-14 11:48 PMLike 0 - ThunderbuckRetired Moderator
That Visa/Victoria concept with the tricky collapsible keyboard would be easy to produce as a straight full-touch as well.jaydee5799 likes this.09-28-14 11:59 PMLike 1 -
But if you are talking Os updates. I'm 100% sure the Z30 can make it to Os 10.4.
Besides, why are you worried? Bringing out another full touch device right nw, would only make it the same as the Z30.
High end:
Z30 & Passport
Mid end:
Z10 & Q10
Low end:
Z3 & Q5
To be released:
??? & Classic

In fact I prefer the colours on the Z30, they seem a little warmer and sharper.
If you do go for a Z30 as long as you can deal with it being all touch, you'll never look back!

I told my friend that the Z10 had a better screen than the Z30. He said bulls*** and went for the Z30. (he had seen both)

They always want to communicate with Amazon (usually for GameCircle which I don't even use), so they often crash. Hoping 10.3 is better as advertised.

All touch should very easy to implement compared to PKB devices, all the same internals with a larger screen and digitizer. No reason that they can't release both close to each other, like they did with the Z10 and Q10 which were essentially the same guts, and the Classic now has same guts too. I'd love to see a Bb10 sales breakout between devices so we could see what customers are buying and get rid of unsubstantiated claims.

In the interim, if someone's choice is all touch or nothing, then they should go find an all touch device somewhere else.09-29-14 09:03 AMLike 0 - Seriously, no offence but are you expecting BlackBerry to be at your beck and call? You think John Chen and crew have not carefully researched and chosen a pragmatic roadmap? Your issue has a very simple solution, and that is, move to Android if that's what will make you happy.
BlackBerry is on the right track now but unfortunately can't make everyone happy.

- Sorry - I was unsuccessful at quoting the comment this refers to (OP). And now I can't go back to read the writer's name.
But the person complained his carrier didn't allow them to bring their own device (so there was no point for gin to buy an unlocked phone). I was curious what carrier is this?
In my case, I've always brought my own device to the carrier (+15yrs). This way I could keep my amazing (and grandfathered) plan, or switch it when a competitor came out with a better promotion. Never paid full price for the phone either, always bought from eBay.
