Motorola Droid Shows GSM Features

Author: Chris

24 Oct

The Droid might be a Verizon Wireless exclusive phone in the USA but that doesn’t mean that Motorola shouldn’t sell in other markets too. After all the Droid is probably going to be one of the best Android phones around and I’m pretty sure that Motorola will want to cash in on all that hotness.

The FCC has revealed exactly such a version of the Droid that could be used all around the GSM world. What’s more interesting is that the GSM Droid has support for AT&T’s WCDMA 850 and 1900MHz bands which also happen to be used by carriers in Canada. Not that Verizon will share the Droid with AT&T any time soon! But Rogers, Bell and Telus will probably want to launch the phone in the following months or, dare we say, in the following weeks?

Will you buy the Droid next week from Verizon or are you waiting for a GSM version of it?

The display, according to the FCC information, is a massive high 854×480 pixels resolution, which is 2-3 times the space as the Palm Pre, Android G1 or iPhone.

Verizon sells Droid for $199 for new customers and $149 for eligible existing customers.
Despite Verizon’s pricing is great, I’ll wait for the Droid to run on GSM, even if it’ll cost more.

Verizon’s plans are just too expensive. Call me old fashioned, but $100/month is just too much. I’d rather pay for the phone upfront to get a lower monthly rate. I’ll wait for a GSM version from T-Mobile.
