Well, it unfortunately doesn't include any elaborate test setups or a thorough dissection of the device, but it looks like the Motorola Sholes (a.k.a. Droid) has indeed finally made at showing at the FCC, although it's unfortunately (for some of us, anyway) the non-CDMA, European version of the phone. Interestingly, it appears that this may have been a small slip-up on Motorola's part, as all references to the phone other than the one above seem to have been omitted from the documents. Then again, the Sholes seems to be making a habit of showing up plenty of places Motorola may not want it to.

Looks like the GSM version will have AT&T 3G capabilities.
Is this really a surprise? I can't think of any non-tmobile-subsidized phones that use T-mobile USA's 3G frequencies.
If you want to use an imported or unlocked phone on 3G in the USA, you pretty much need to use AT&T.
All I see in the FCC documents is 900 and 2100, nothing for either T-Mobile or AT&T as T-Mobile requires 1700 and 2100, and AT&T is on 850 and 1900. So as per the listed FCC documents it wont have 3G for TMo or ATT
Sounds like Nokia is branching out into shoe soles to me...
