That phone is a GSM device which is incompatible w/ Verizon's CDMA network. There is nothing you can do to make it work w/ Verizon.

I had read something similar in cnet, but from 2004 and I hoped it had changed.

you heard about LTE (newer cellular technology) being introduced by multiple carriers nationwide. While it does use a SIM card on Verizon, still not compatible.
