The Verizon DROID by Motorola may be getting all the headlines today, but we’re already wondering when the smartphone might show up in GSM form. One such device has already made an appearance in a Tinhte.com video, and while there’s no extra detail about the DROID itself – bar the SIM card – it’s certainly whet our appetites.

Of course, what the video can’t tell us is when the GSM DROID might arrive in the US or Europe. An AT&T-friendly version has been tracked crossing the FCC’s path already, though, so we’re hoping it’ll be sooner rather than later.

Two things I noticed :
1. This thing was SLOW in this video. What gives??
2. It was still called "Droid" even though it is supposedly a GSM device on a different carrier.
The thing I do not like about the keyboard is the rectangle design and the d-pad. I wish the keyboard was offset and that the d-pad was a trackball or some other input device (possibly a trackpad like the new blackberries).

5 row keyboards are the way to go!
count the rows on your laptop/computer (not counting f1-f12) and then get back to me lol

I am perfectly happy with a 4-row keypad on a wireless device though... I am coming from the 'BlackBerry world' so don't hate me, but all of the BlackBerries I have ever used have 4 rows... and their keypads are awesome!
