OK, people. The much anticipated and somewhat guarded "Droid" has been severely groped by BGR, and, much to our benefit, they're into "gropin and tellin." They've not too much to say just yet. However, what they did say about the device is absolutely glowing. This could be the miracle phone that brings me over to the big, red, VZW! Click on the pic to read BGR's...

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.

In another image leak from BGR, we have some sort of indicator for the future of what has been called the Sholes and Tao, but may be officially titled, "MotoDroid." As you can see from the color key at the top of the calendar, red entries are designated for marketing. So maybe this will be the day of a big announcement. Considering this morning's revelation (I'll be... Read more » Another look at the Motorola Tao
Here's another shot of Tao - perhaps not as clear as what we saw yesterday, but at least it's turned on now. Lookin' good, Tao. Via The Android... Read more » Motorola Tao (?) a.k.a. Sholes passes FCC
The juiciest stuff is hindered by a confidentiality request on the behalf of Motorola, but we now know that the Sholes A855, widely expected to launch on Verizon in October, has cleared the FCC with EVDO Revision A and b/g Wi-Fi. It also looks as though Sholes will be dropped in favor of the moniker, Tao. Via... Read more »
