@wonder
the reason that this is world edition is because it is a north america bound phone, and the CDMA bands are the equivalent of GSM 850/1900. It is called world edition because CDMA does not work all over the world, but because this phone has both technologies, it is a world edition CDMA phone (only CDMA carries will sell this phone)

Why this phone called "World Phone"? Is this particular phone is at least a TRI-BAND, or QUAD-BAND capability?
If this is only Daul band, no matter how loaded it is, it will not workout in other country but only where you buy your service.

The 8830 is the World Edition because of its ability to use both the CDMA network as well as GSM. The CDMA providers realized they were losing out on a big overseas market so they begger RIM to produce this. I find it VERY funny that even some, US CELLULAR, that sell this item don't even know its capabilities.

I find that the unit tends to hang and loses service a lot. The issues are:
- if you have too many messages the phone tends to hang
- lose signal on the CDMA network and then end up with a landslide of messages
- try to make a call and fails on the first attempt, on the second attempt works perfectly
- battery life is a little shabby on the unit
it is by far one of the best looking blackberries though, definately business oriented.

I have some basic questions. My needs are: 1) making/receiving calls when traveling globally on business (usually EU) 2) making/receiving Outlook emails globally (usually EU) which are derived from a secure company Intranet. Is this the best BB model for the $ to do this? Is there something as good but cheaper? Thanks

Yes, it has both CDMA and GSM, but for GSM it only has the 900/1800 bands, so doesn't work in the US, only in Europe/Asia (excluding Japan/South Korea).
I tested one and on the Network Selection there's a "Global" option which "should" automatically switch when it detects a signal, etc. but I found it's more reliable to just set it to GSM when I was abroad.
