That way it isn't so weird that a UK site would be selling it for pre-order. Actually, isn’t this phone supposed to be for both Verizon and Vodafone?

I suspect Expansys had it wrong, that Thunder would be "Quad band GSM". I can't even fathom Verizon allowing RIM to produce a device for them to sell exclusively and it have USA GSM capability. UNLESS Verizon thinks they can keep it locked down well enough for it to still be usable when they transition to LTE (starting 2009?). Took less than an hour to get pulled.

That's why it seems so weird to me that a UK site is offering a pre-order for a supposedly Verizon exclusive device that actually hasn't been announced yet. How long before this gets pulled?
