I need a new phone and I like the motorola droid. Unfortunately only Verizon has it and they are way more expensive. Can I buy one that is unlocked and use it with any other network?

the droid is CDMA only, ie stuck to verizon's service network. it won't work even when unlocked?
if anything, you should get the droid's international version "Milestone" same phone, just not dumbed down for verizon. and has GSM support

Sprint also uses CDMA technology for both voice and data...the Droid can be activated on their network, but there may be some issues with some features such as SMS working correctly. CDMA phones are inherently unlocked. They can be activated on any CDMA network that allows the MEID/ESN.
And out of curiosity, just how has the Droid been "dumb downed" for Verizon?It is dangerous to be right when your government is wrong. -Voltaire

Correct. Verizon is CDMA technology so the only other carrier you would be able to go to is Sprint or maybe Metro PCS. If you phone uses a SIM card then your choices would basically be T-Mobile or AT&T.Ray
