Blackberry Gsm

For now, only Glo supports Blackberry. 

I believe MTN may be starting some trials soon (only a rumour) and I have no information about Vmobile.

As for data/browing, that will depend on the carrier. But for voice, it should function just like any other GSM phone. As long as the country/carrier has the appropriate bands. I think most of the ones sold here in the states these days are quad-band anyway, so it should work anywhere.

Blackberry from globacomm. Sure it works
