Has anyone used the Storm Global Yet?
I'm leaving for Jamacia in Feburary and wondered if anyone has used out of country. Does it work well?

And will Verizon unlock it so that it can be used with a local SIM?

That's good to know tkdamy! I will be getting the Storm next month. I have been a Verizon customer for the past 9+ years! Yes, I was with them when they were AirTouch or whatever they were called before lol
