It was only a matter of time.

Now, will Cingular get it? Or will we see a "8750" for Verizon with EVDO?

I noticed this--very surprised that word got out about this one...

Note that the spec (as provided by some blogs and websites that leaked it) is likely wrong as provided: 3G (UMTS) is at 2100MHz in Europe...so I doubt this device is 850/900/1800/1900MHz only.
