did anyone hear of a blackberry that verizon has that is coming to sprint? a customer went into our other store and told the manager that we would be getting a new blackberry world phone but unlike verizons it would be "unlocked". dont know what that means being that is a gsm term, wouldnt all world phones be unlocked so that you can put whatever european sim card in it?
