Rumor is it might be a world phone. That would cause me to change from my TB, with I am very happy with.

Hopefully CES will bring the good news. What did you buy that you may return? What are you hoping for in the fireball?

Keep in mind the rezound had the same "O" under world phone and the rezound is not a world phone. If this phone packs the brand new MSM8960 snapdragon though world phone capability could easily be incorporated. I hope it has that chip, a qwerty keyboard and ICS. I would buy it on day one (assuming they don't manage to screw it some other way).

Remember how Froyo phones were still being released even though Gingerbread existed? That's how it's gonna be with Gingerbread phones in the days of ICS. Remember that these phones are planned, produced, and tested at least 6 months prior to release. While that phone you described sounds awesome, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Rezound is a world phone. Even though Verizon says it's not. Some users also tested and it works. From what I've read they say HTC confirmed. Voice and messaging works; data may have problems.

Call me an idiot, but - what does "World Phone" mean? Does that just mean it can be used on any wireless provider?
