my understanding blackberry 8830 is compatible with both gsm and CDMA . if it were so , then in countries where there is 3G gsm can be used for data and CDMA has proven to be quite stable for voice and inexpensive when roaming specially in countires like USA , India

This phone is not compatible with American GSM; thus in US the phone works in CDMA. However, when I was in Europe I bought a sim-card of a local mobile service, inserted it into the phone and it was working perfectly.

cdma is right
you cant use gsm when you want
you need a cdma carrier and they provide you with a sim card
so it is useful its up the the user to make the best of it personally this could solve a lot of problems for certain people
by the way blackberry bluetooh to transfer phone books from other devices is horrible and doesnt hardly ever work just type in your self sucks but if you got nothing better to do pay some one else to do it
(little brother needs 20 bucks?)

its only to be used with a cdma carrier
gsm only works if your outside cdma coverage
range and you cant switch between gsm and
cdma it chooses gsm by itself if it ant find a cdma signal but
with a little hacking i think it can be done

Having trouble with finding someone to help me transport my contacts which are in a HTC the 8830 has no infra red and using the blue tooth continues to cause a failed signal now the Roxi software is giving me trouble.

Question:
i live in canada, i am very interesting in this phone and looking to purchase it... but i am stuck between this and the 8820. I am worried with the "shabby battery life, and calling malfunctions that were posted earlier.

The comment below mine about 2 8830's is incorrect. There is only one 8830 and it is the World Edition. It is called the World Edition because due to it having CDMA and GSM it works anywhere in the world. There is no such thing as an 8830 that works with only AT&T and T-mobile...

North American customers,
Be careful with this phone. Because they make two different model 8830. One is 8830 World edition(works with Sprint & Verizon) And another one is 8830-they don't call world Edition(This works with AT&T & T mobile)
The one works with AT&T + T-mobile supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900(Quadbands).If u can get it unlocked , this will work in Mexico. Because Mexico use GSM 1900.
The one that Sprint & Verizon sells , they don't support GSM 1900,850(i.e, this won't work with AT&T and T-mobile, no matter u unlock the device)This won't support in Mexico either.

the 883rt0 world edition is a cdma phone.it does not supporrrrt gsm networks of other networks.the cdma net work you are with gives you additional sim which has the same no as your cdma and the gsm sim you can use on international roaming where there is no cdma network with your no remaining the same.log on to blackberry.com for more details
