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.

Honestly, I thought HTC was a cheap Chinese knockoff brand... Not something to even be considered? lol. But I guess that was not correct.

(This is what I get for being in Germany for 3 years while Cell Phone technology skyrocketed)

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!
