i dont think that is possible. What AT&T told me is that in a few years there isnt gonna be a TDMA network, everything is going to GSM in the future

Verizon is not TDMA, they are CDMA. You cannot change a phone from one technology to another.

Those phones are Only GSM,

Theres few phones out there which work as both TDMA and GSM at the same time, one of which is Nokia 6340i, they are called Gait Phones.

Those phones you mentioned are only GSM Service, and Verizon is CDMA, which is a whole different Technology..

GSM is only a 2.5 generation phone. AT&T is close to launching a new 3rd generation service. I went to GSM a few months ago and I got better signal strength with my old TDMA phone in the excat same locations. If you want to see really cool phones check out Orange, O2 or Vodaphone sites.
