BlackBerry 8830: released into the wild


The new "World Edition" BlackBerry will be released on May 14 through its business units and online retailing stores. Verizon will be the first carrier of the unit, and will cost $299.99 after a $100 rebate with a new two-year customer agreement. Verizon will give you an additional $100 off if you sign up for one of their "qualifying" plans.

The cool thing about this BlackBerry is that the 8830 also has a SIM card, so that overseas you get voice roaming over GSM or CDMA in 167 countries. If you're an Internet surfer, it also has EDGE data roaming in 62 different countries.

So all the CrackBerry addicts can now leave the country.

Seriously, what's the monthly charge on that?

I'm not sure, I think it depends on what data plan you get. All I know is that they are making a killing.
