The FCC just cleared a GSM version of Motorola’s Sholes, which will launch here in the States on VZW. This incarnation isn’t capable of US 3G, so as the source of my source points out, it’s probably just paperwork to keep people from getting sued when the handset goes on vacation to Disneyland. I wonder what the Limey will call this presumably unlocked phone.
