By that i meant i knew verizon offered 3G. Correct me if i am wrong, verizon plan to go straight from 3G to 4G (LTE) bypassing 3.5G alltogether ? If so, would make a lot of sense.
An american friend from ny couldn’t use 3G web browsing with an iphone 3gs over here and only texted. I guess international roaming is not part of the standard att plan…

@ poopiepants
My bad, i meant 3.5g or HSDPA.

What you call gsm is 1G or 2G for text messaging only ?

The unbranded cover could be someone trying to stir up some trouble by photoshopping out the Verizon logo. And it looks like it’s working.

Motorola CDMA Sholes / Tao / Droid will realase in Verizon US around 30 October 2009. If that’s true, so earlier 2 months than first time release date 1 December 2009. Motorola GSM Sholes will release in the early of 2010. About battery cover; I think “Sholes Verizon” will release only for Verizon, “Sholes Unbranded” will release to international market.

@vincent, Verizon is 3G…. I haven’t seen specs for the Sholes, but a lot of their new pda’s that are coming out are global ( CDMA/GSM ).

Or an unbranded version could mean that if people ( like ME :) ) don’t want to see ‘Verizon’ on their battery cover, they can replace it with a blank one?!?!? Common sense guys…

I really hope AT&T gets some decent Andoid phones. I dont want a damn Dell phone. I have enough problems with my Dell computer. Any HTC or Samsung Android (high end) would due.

Come on Moto! This is now just getting ridiculous! We all know the phone exists! Just tell us when it’s out and what to call it! And please do a GSM version!

Could we just at least admit that the phone exists, Verizon? Oh, and a final name would be nice too.

Seriously, how much longer can they draw this out? Every week of delay means lots of moula lost from data plans!

When will t be sold in europe ? if it’s before sony x3 or archos phone, count me in !
.
I doubt motorola would make a cdma only version: traveling with that phone would prove impossible, and verizon only represents 1% of the total mobile world market. There is hope for a 3G version. That you my american friends will probably wanna try and snatch before me and import it to your usa unloved carrier :D
