Whatever it is, I can almost guarantee it'll be running Android.

If anyone is looking to purchase a new phone, particularly with Verizon, then this is the phone to get. This will be the hottest phone out there for at least thru summer. I've been following it for a few months now, and plan to pick one up on the release day at full price. Yes, I said full price!

I doubt it. I used to work for Sprint for a good while; and I've never seen a CDMA phone have a sim card slot...only GSM phones tend to have them. Don't know why, but I would like to have that feature as well because I travel to Mexico for work a lot and would prefer to buy minutes while down there and continue to use my U.S. phone.

Its a security thing. GSM is considerably less secure than CDMA. Not to mention the fact that even with a new SIM card, a Verizon phone wont work in any country operating a GSM network, which is a vast majority of them. Mexico...not sure on them...

It'd be a safe bet

Or just wait for some of the other, better ones coming out. I'd wait for the HTC if you had time to waste.

This can still add up for me. My current LG Touch supports dual NAM's. So you could enter a 2nd number in the phone; but I don't believe Verizon allows this. When I used to work with Sprint, you had to have a special security code that was created by the Sprint system in order to program it. So many phones can be difficult to try and program yourself. Back to my point...if I could stick a sim card in it, I could take my Mexican cellphone # on the sim card and just pop it in when I go down to Mexico. That way I'm on a local much cheaper rate to call around Mexico on MY PHONE, and not my cheap regular Motorola Telcel. If I need to make calls back home, swap the sim cards. Does this make sense? By the way, picking up the the Droid Incredible on the 29th!
