Default Is verizon CDMA OR GSM?

I wanted to ask is verizon mobile gsm or cdma. I want to know since I want to buy a prepaid phone if it is gsm. I am going to unlock it and use it on a trip which I am going to another country. I do not want to bring my expensive phone with me.

The blackberry storm is a hspa device. Which means it has cdma and gsm. I bought the blackberry storm from usa but it was locked to the verizon network. I unlocked it, and used it on my rogers network.

FYI, Boost Mobile does use SIMs but technically the network is not GSM, it's iDEN.

After paying sprint over $224 bucks a month for two years, I went to Boost mobile and pay only $50.00 a month for unlimited everything. Their data transfer is really slow though.
