    Hey...I saw a really nice phone off of phonescoop.com and it says it had a GSM band (SAMSUNG E-730)...and i am currrently with verizon wireless, and they use CDMA phones. So i guess my question is will this GSM phone work with verizon's CDMA network? Thanks.

    Nope, GSM phones will not work on a CDMA network, and CDMA phones will not work on a GSM network.

    If I'm lying may I be struck by a bolt from the blue!

    Correct, to use a GSM enabled phone, you would have to be with a carrier that was GSM.
