It's easier to tag a phone "World Phone" when you just do GSM because everyone else across the globe does it. CDMA is purely optional and only if the manufacturers hammer out an agreement with Sprint or Verizon. (or whoever else uses CDMA technology over GSM)

Bump
Nexus N1 Pro.
Progress on new stuff coming out seems to have really slowed down.
This would be great to see on Verizon.
About the only option we seem to have for world phone is HTC TP@ or Imagio running WinMo.
Be nice for an N1 or Droid to run GSM too. Seems like with high-powered world business people, it would be a major seller.

Having AT&T and an old Nokia 6303 flipphone, I am NOT impressed with call quality and do not want it to be my network of choice in the future. Want Verizon AND GSM/World!
