v880 - with Bluetooth???

Critic sorry man, but your wrong, at least we know one phone with reach US soil and grace us with its presense-the V600 with AT&T Wireless. There is SAID to be 8 phones in the new group of V-Series, 6 GSM and 2 CDMA. Maybe Verizon will get the V880 after all. By the way, I don't think Motorola would use "NATIONWIDE" for countries residing in Asia; but they might.

The new portfolio is made up of 6 GSM models, the Motorola V878, model V690, model V303, model V500, model V300 and model V600, and 2 CDMA models, the Motorola V880 and model V875. They are expected to be in stores nationwide starting in early January.
