Or a pre-bought N900 and just put a Verizon sim in?
Not sure what would happen if I decided to fight this battle, but I'm not really inclined to. I've been pushing them off for the last 6 months since they explicitly asked me to get a phone, and really longer than that since they started implying I should have one. The thing is I've started to do more work travel and attend more events, and having a portable mini-computer so I can still get some desk work done while I'm attending a conference is important. I've got a couple of trips planned for the beginning of next year, so that's the immediate reason for the deadline.

Verizon is a CDMA carrier, which means they don't use sim cards, and even if they did they operate on different technology and radios than what the N900 has, so it still wouldn't work.
