NOPE! I had a customer come in today with a SLVR bought on ebay. The seller had listed that it was compatible with Verizon! Thats just crazy talk!

You can't activate it for so many reasons! First the SLVR uses GSM and Verizon is all CDMA so even if it was possible it wouldn't get any service.
Second all phones made for Verizon have specific ESNs that are all put in a database when the phone is manufactured. If the ESN isn't in the database the system won't recognize it, and still no service.
If you want a SLVR like phone check out the LG Chocolate, or if your phone isn't in to bad of shape wait. I'm sure we will get a SLVR or a SLVRish phone.
Hope that answers your questions!

I did read somewhere that Verizon will be getting their version of the slvr.

Yes that is mostly true, but verizon does have a better Razr, that is the only comment I can make about that. âšī¸
