> Being a Verizon customer, I'm always complaining about their lack of phones, but it looks like the boys in red just got first dibs on RIM's BlackBerry 8830 (aka the Cyclone), which is a CDMA/GSM hybrid. In other words, it'll work here in the States...

On a second note, cricket doesn’t have blackberry servers…so if you want a really expensive phone…that can’t do shit but text and call…have fun!
