RIM says that their focus is to address demand, both domestic US and worldwide. While the GSM footprint is roughly equal to CDMA domestically, it is vastly larger worldwide, thus the time and money will be spent there. Verizon says they continually complain not just to RIM but to all manufacturers and little to nothing changes, so they spend their money on the networks rather than attempting to bribe manufacturers into making devices for their network first. Things will change in the future, obviously. Qualcomm will be launching an HSPA/EVDO 4G chipset later this year will be backwards compatible on both sides of the playing field (think of a major upgrade over their current-gen hybrid chipset that works with GSM/EVDO in the BB 8830). Some manufacturers may decide to use it as opposed to the Intel chipsets. We'll see. @Adam, in asking the same question to both RIM and Verizon reps, I have received a few different responses.

And yes I know, GSM = more networks I would like to hear something about that next time! Awesome work!

Only wished it was a little longer, maybe atleast 40 mins. like end of week wrap up. the background track was a nice touch, maybe mix it with another track as well. But get it longer and this will be something i will be looking out for on itunes on the weekly! very fresh podcast.

But that background music gets very distracting and annoying. Overall it was great to hear the radiocast.

A couple of comments: It would help if you could tighten it up a little - maybe starting with less delay on your connection. Were you doing the call on your BB? Also i know its supposed to be conversational - not an interview - but it gets frustrating when you answer your own questions and cut off answers after asking something. Great show – thanks.

If you wnat o god a decnt game your video hardware on the device would have to pull at least 30 frames per second caous at 15 it looks real slow and choppy. heck id love to se finl fantasy 1- and 2 on a blackberry but the refresh rate just isn't there. th music lowes he voice quality an distracts from the topicat hand

2 the displays on rim hardware seem not only to be utilzed but under performing

Keep it up man! I think a good topic would be all the iPhone competitors that are trying hard to gain the marketshare and popularity that the iPhone has. Also I think that the Sprint Everything Plan should be talked about and what other companies need to do to stay in competition with Sprint. I love this idea, Boy Genius your doing your thing.

I guess you have to like the song to actually enjoy the "broadcast". I thought it was a great touch, but obviously not for everyone else thought the same.

But I would recommend not having music in the background. It makes it harder to hear the voices clearly, especially for anyone piped through on a phone or VOIP connection. I enjoyed listening!

(lol...sorry, I got carried away) This is great stuff! I never listen to the radio, EVER! But I noticed how much I enjoyed listening to this while I was doing other productive things. In my opinion, and I believe other people will agree with me, based on the amount of news BGR brings to it's audience in a month, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have this audio-cast every two weeks. Each session can cover the past two weeks topics - somewhat of an overview and gives the audience to listen to BGR, and the other writers to share their opinion about the current/future products, services and news from the mass media. That's my idea and I believe it would greatly benefit everyone! I'm looking forward to more! B-B-B-BBBBBGR RadioRadioRadio_o_o_o… (lol…sorry, I got carried away)

I still in my opinion Like Blackberry for what they do. I havn't saw OS 4.5 yet, but Blackberry Software is still way easier to operate, runs smoothly and is faster to operate than Windows and WAY better than Palm. I would love to hear you address the "memory leak" issue where blackberry's just randomly lose your SMS history. Also Love the talk on the 9000 screen upgrade. One thing is that Blackberry is the most easly upgradeable device on the market now. Nice. I still in my opinion Like Blackberry for what they do.

Please keep it up I will listen to them all.. Its one thing reading news, but hearing it is much more enjoyable.! Heres something though, change the background music though, cause if its the same song the whole time it gets old, choose 2 or 3, and mix it up.
