With the big Motorola event mere days away on September 10, the anticipation of the event is high. It is widely expected that Motorola will be unveiling the Sholes mobile phone powered by Android.
A few specs have been gleaned about Sholes so far including a 5MP camera, QWERTY keyboard, and a touch screen. We had previously though that the device would be offered on the Verizon network.
That notion was crushed this week after InformationWeek reported that Verizon officials would not be attending the Motorola event and claim they have no idea what is being announced. If true that will mean Verizon is not the provider for the Sholes. Here’s hoping it’s not Sprint.

Every carrier does not show up to every mobile phone announcement by every phone manufacturer!
Yeah I know this is a big deal for Motorola, but what about the September 15th presentation in London, do you expect Verizon to be there too?
Perhaps Motorola will present their "Portfolio" of "devices" (as was recently reported) and since they are having worldwide launches too maybe they will show pictures and specs and details of which carriers they will launch on.
Hopefully we can see a live demo of the Blur UI and it would be great to see actual footage of a Morrison and Sholes from the show attendees.
verizon cripples their phones
No big loss, Verizon sucks anyway. Their nickle and diming to death is the reason I dropped them.I got tired of crippled phones.
