Just comfirmed that the BB Cyclone will be coming to VZW as an exclusive. BB first exclusive phone... Can do both GSM and CDMA. No Camera. Cool Stainless steel color. Now has programing for multiple email accounts to become separated out from text messaging. (similar to the treo's message interface). Release date not out yet but rumors of June...?...

Part of the challenge is that many of the VZW customer service people don't know it exists, but if you search the Treo forums you can find the specific feature to request.
BTW, there is also a hack out there to enable BT DUN for free but I decided to go the legit route.
Research In Motion Ltd. and Verizon Wireless today plan to announce the launch of a BlackBerry "World Edition" smart phone that enables Verizon customers to roam on overseas networks thanks to a dual-mode chip that is compatible with both Verizon's technology and wireless technology prevalent overseas.
The device, which will cost $299.99 with a two-year contract after a $100 rebate starting May 14 online and May 28 in stores, is aimed at solving ...
