Wow, I sure hope this is correct. Because if it is, and if we can use an international SIM card (i.e. not paying some exhorbitant roaming charges) and the phone can be unlocked to use int'l GSM carriers, I'm in when my ATT contract is up. Best of both worlds and all that. Unless, of course, ATT

I don't think this is correct. On another list I read that the IPhone has both radios and can use GSM in international markets. There was also an announcement that Verizon would support international roaming so there must be some facility for that. On Jan 11, 2011, at 4:59 PM, Buddy Brannan

That is very good news. I personally was thinking that verizon would put their custom software all over the phone and I was concerned with whether it would be accessible. Again, Apple gets it right. Every new product that comes out there are accessibility questions, and it always plays out well.
