Hey gang,
First, let me thank the folks on these forums for all the great information here. I've been lurking for a few days now, and I'm astonished at the depth of knowledge on these forums.
I've got an HTC Incredible on Verizon. It's working great, but I need to spend September and October in Italy this year, so I'll need a phone that can take a SIM card from a local carrier such as TIM or Wind. I would use the phone both for voice calls, as well as to set up a wifi hotspot using its cellular data connection so my laptop can get internet. The obvious choice is the Droid 2 Global.
My question is this -- between now and September, are there any other phones in the pipeline that might release to the public that offer Verizon + GSM capabilities? If so, I might hold off on getting the D2G because it only has a 5MP camera, the only bummer about this phone! Otherwise, there's no reason I can think of to delay picking up a D2G asap so I can start getting used to it.
Grazie!
