Is it a world phone?

Can't really tell from the pre order page.

Anyone have solid info one way or another? If it is, this will truly be the perfect phone.

It seems like it is. Check out the Samsung USA spec page (Network) for the VZ version:

Specs - Verizon Wireless Cell Phones SCH-I605 | Samsung Cell Phones

It is. When I ordered mine they asked if it was going to be used internationally.

I just chatted with a rep and got this:
Courtney: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Ben: Yes, I'm a little confused about what "Global Ready" means on your order page for the Galaxy Note II
Courtney: I'd be happy to assist you.
Courtney: That means this phone can be used internationally.
Courtney: Are you a new customer./
Ben: No, existing. Does that equate to GSM bands?
Ben: I would like to use the phone on my trips to Germany is why I'm asking. I used to have a Touch Pro 2 that worked great over there.
Courtney: Yes it will.

I'd buy this phone right now if I was absolutely sure it was fully global. I also spoke with CS rep who said it would work on GSM bands. But, I'm a little wary because every other "Global Ready" phone on Verizon website specifically says GSM. I travel internationally a lot for work and I need both SIM Card and GSM. If anyone has definitive answer on GSM for this phone, please let us know.
