    I am going to buy the T61 in the next two days if the T61p doesn't come out....

    I have a couple of questions......

    1) If I get the Verizon Integrated Wireless WAN on the T61, can I use it with sprint (since both are CDMA)
    2)What is '160GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm with Disk Encryption' ? Is the encryption in this case a software thing or is it different in hardware from the regular 160GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm

    Thanks in advance.......

    1) You need to ask Sprint that question. Find out the part number from the Verizon, and cross reference with the Sprint. They may be hardware-locked.
    2)Disk Encryption is this new fangled thing that protects your data. It must come with the hd, so you can't buy it separately.

    No, you cannot. It may use the same type of signaling method, but the random code behind it is different for these networks. Also, Sprint does not activate non-sprint badged units.
