BlackBerry 8830 "Cyclone" peeped with Verizon branding
As mentioned a few days ago, Verizon Wireless seems to be prepping for the release of a new dual mode version of the venerable Blackberry 8800, christened the 8830. With this handy bit of tech you will be able to use CDMA radio while in the States (and maybe Canada?) and switch over to that good old fashioned GSM love while abroad. The pic above clearly shows the 8830 in silver, while the images in our last article seem to show it in black. No other solid info is available, but you can be sure we will be updating as the news and details trickle in.

Why is Canada in brackets? The phone will most likely only sport GSM 900/1800, so of course it'll roam in Canada over CDMA.

Well most likely doesn't answer the question... it may be triple band or quad band GSM.
We wait we wait

So this black beauty (silver) will sport a sim card as well as work on Verizon's CDMA network. Hmm...it'll will be the first of its kind on the market. Can't wait to get one.

What about features, this is I mean great news being that I switched from Cingular/ATT who seems to have the better of the RIM/Blackbverry's especially recent release of the 8800's and pearls....will there be a video camera? SD slot for memory? Thanks

I just purchased the new 8830. Am having some difficulty not finding detailed instruction (in print regarding the use of various features - for example when typing in info, made a mistake, how to correct one letter at a time? How can I get a Manuel - I like to read the instruction book.
