Thanks!

sprint has the 400 hardware and verizon and telus have the 500. will do more research to find out the difference in hardwares!!

edit i did some more research and found this and from what i see the only difference in hardware between the verizon and sprint is verizon`s bluetooth 2.1 vs sprints` 2.0 and that it says that the verizon verizon only allows u to access half the memory!!

I dont think there is a differencei n hardware, the the radio

Sprint and USC support utms 900, VZW and Telus don't. it may be as simple as a radio flash.

dont know where you got that from, they have full memory.

and they are quad pand gsm, im pretty sure they are the same chipset as the rhod500 so it might be as simple as a radio update to get the quadband for telus and USC users

Well it took about 20 minutes for them to give me the unlock code. But it seems that they had it on hand. So I am wondering if the code is the same code for all of us. Unfortunately they didn't email me the code like they did for other users. But I do know that my code started with a 170.

the unlock code is based off ur meid or imei! i assume its the imei because thats used by gsm providers to issue unlock codes!

Once your phone is unlocked, in reality you could quit Verizon and use it on T-Mobile or AT&T and Verizon wouldn't know a thing about it. Keep in mind that you would have to use 2G Data on AT&T and T-Mobile, as the Verizon TP2 doesn't have the proper bands to support USA 3G GSM Networks.
