Can you be using Cingular or Verizon or something, and still have one or are they strictly T-Mobile?

Whoa!! Slow down people.. You guys are misleading this guy..
Check it out.. USA has 2 Cellphone Technology..
GSM and CDMA/TDMA
Verizon and Sprint have CDMA tech.. Which is they don't use SIM chip.
Tmobile and Cingular have GSM tech.. Its the new tech. and Its widely use in Europe and Asia..
About Nextel.. hmmnnn their something else.. I guess confuse. heheheh..
Ok here goes the Answer! Mobile makers make phones to suite their providers like Cingular and Verizon.. So What I mean is If RIM produce a blackberry that's CDMA for Verizon they also produced blackberry for Cingular which is GSM..
Now here is the tricky part.. CDMA phones cannot be unlocked. So if It is made for Verizon It can only be used for verizon..
In the other hand.. GSM phones can be unlocked! You can get your Sidekick unlocked and get it to work with Cingular service..
Trust me!! I know because I've tried it!!
As a matter a fact I'm using a Tmobile phone right now with a Cingular service!

No you can get it for cingular or verizon(thats for blueberry). For the sidekick you can use it for any company, but for tmobile it gets more features cause it is from tmobile.
