I'm currently on Sprint with a BB 8330.
I live in southwestern Michigan, don't travel a lot currently but I plan on going OTR (truck driving) sometime in the next year or two, and also traveling to Israel for several months in the next year or two.
I was planning on switching to Verizon when the N1 came, even with the international wildcard, since with TMo I could switch out SIM cards when in Israel.
So...
1) Is the ability to switch my SIM card out when in Israel a big enough deal, or would I be better off just using the wireless internet capability to get online and buying a disposable phone while over there?
2) Is the ability to switch out my SIM card in the US a big deal? I'm thinking Verizon's speed and coverage over here will cancel out any temporary benefits while in Israel?
3) Will I notice a speed difference on Verizon from my current Sprint BB 8330?
4) How about coverage while traveling? Sprint is generally pretty good, but there are a few stretches while driving between here and Texas where I don't have coverage.
