When the link talks of "quad-band architecture" it is not saying quad-band GSM. It means 850/1900 on 1X and Ev.Do and 900/800 GSM making it a "quad-band" device. No device in verizon history has ever been released with 850/1900 GSM bands as they are primarily used in the states. And most countries that use GSM on the 850/1900 band also have CDMA coverage as well making the GSM not necessary.
