Does anyone know if it is possible to use the SLVR L7 on another carrier serivce? I know it is for Cingular, but if unlocked or something, can it be used for Verizon?

cingular is gsm service...verizon is cdma service, They are not compatible. Cingular,t-mobile are gsm and verizon,sprint,alltell are cdma. An unlocked slvr will work onany gsm provider.

Thanks grdella. You don't have to answer this, but just for my ignorant mind, what's the difference between GSM and CDMA?

In short...a lot. They operate on different standards. It is just two different ways of doing things.
