My blackberry 8330 is dead and I am looking for a new one. I was reading my Verizon user agreement and it states and compatible phone can be activated on my account.
So does anyone know if the sprint CDMA phones will work on the verizon network?
I have been looking at the altell and sprint 8330s on e-bay. They both offer color options that verizon doesn't and are generally cheaper.

Dead as in went swimming with it. Dried it out, and it powered up. Then it just quit. Now, it does nothing and will not power up.
Does anyone know why the sprint/nextel phone will not work, especially if I wipe it and install just the RIM software?

Just because they are both CDMA doesnt mean one company will let the other authenticate it on the others network.
Sprint, Telus, Verizon etc doesnt matter there OS work interchangeably. You just have to erase the vendor.xl file. So what I am saying is the software makes no difference who's network its on. The phone would have to be unlocked to work.

XtremeBerry is right about the software on the phone and the non-vzw device being authenticated on the network. Further more, Verizon has a specific list of ESNs in their database for all the devices VZW can activate. If a device is not in the database, as a Sprint device would not be, then it cannot be activated by Verizon at all.
At this point in time it's something that only works in theory, but Verizon will simply not allow it.
