Here we go again with sites printing rumors again without checking with the source. Surele Verizon or Motorola have at least 1 PR person that would confirm this if it's true?! Shoddy journalism at it's best

Isn't this the 3-4th time they pull this crap! How about just pushing it without announcing it!
