Verizon does work in canada but only if you have the international
account. Otherwise you roam & pay an assload of roaming charges.
I've been teetering on the switching to Cingular idea since I can get a
GSM Razor for $0 after rebate via Amazon.com + 2 year contract. Verizon
just got their 1st CDMA Razor (all other Verizon phones suck!) but want
$200 + 2 year contact.
Razor is as far as I am willing to look since I hate all brands
(including the samsung Razor copy-cat) other than Motorola, so YMMV!
No matter what you do I think you will have to have an international
account or need a SIM based phone to travel w/o roaming.

then.
Verizon's phones (at least all the ones I have seen to date) are CDMA
which means they only work in America. Here's what I want:
- good camera
- ability to use it around the world
- able to connect to my computer to transfer files and copy contacts
- bluetooth
Any chance I can find such a phone? Or am I better off sticking with
something that works in America and just buying a cheap GSM phone and
use pre-paid SIMs overseas?
