Enormous HTC slider appears on FCC website with Verizon branding
Share:
Details at this point are still pretty scarce, but we do know that the device sports a sliding QWERTY island keyboard and a 4" display. And thanks to the FCC documents, we've learned that the device supports CDMA 2000 and GSM 850, in addition to EV-DO Rev. A. Predictably, the phone also offers Bluetooth and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity.
Still no word yet on the phone's name, release date, or pricing - but you can bet Verizon will be working overtime to get this big red monster to market in time for the holidays.

Not likely, if you look at the touch capacitive buttons, they all look like android

But, I think those are bound to change because all the windows phones announced would have the windows symbol on it, just as every leaked windows phone 7 has show along with all their other windows mobile handsets.

It has no windows button. It's clearly not a W7 phone.

documents that are linked to it say other wise... could be the wrong picture but the fcc clearly state its a windows phone

droid pro? Its one of the only phones in verizon's lineup with GSM and a 4 inch screen. Since HTC made the DROID Incredible, I can't see why they shouldn't make the droid pro as well.

Verizon EVO with keyboard - though I can't tell anything about the camera and I think that red facing is ugly as sin

Definitely not WP7. Most likely the Merge. Maybe the Scorpion if there are still rumors about that floating about. Possibly the Scorpion will turn out to be the Merge. Who knows... Sooooo, if it's rocking the dual CDMA and GSM, would that mean that if (pretty big "if" here ) it did have a front facing camera that it would be able to make a call and use data for video calling at the same time? Or make a call and do other data tasks simultaneously? That's one thing I wouldn't mind Verizon addressing just to check it off the list.
