Question on Mobile Phones:

Is it possible to buy the BlackBerry Storm from the US to use in Singapore?

Submitted by Reader

Answer:

Because it has GSM and UMTS radios, yes, a US-bought Storm will work in Singapore. But, and this is a very big but, you will incur roaming charges because very likely, the phone will be locked to the Verizon network in the US and you won't be able to simply make use of SIM cards from a Singapore operator.

Furthermore, getting the handheld will require you to sign a contract with Verizon. So there are many barriers that will prevent you from using a US-bought Storm in Singapore. It's probably safer to wait for its official release in Asia.
