Actually, the MSM7500 in the Mogule IS rev A (cf. recent rom upgrade) .

As for VZW going GSM, Vodaphone's been wanting them to do that for YEARS, and it's quite concievable that they have GSM cpability on their towers (just turned off at the moment). So if they wanted to implement HSPA (3.6-7.2 Mbs down) I bet they could implement it in a heartbeat.

LTE is a different story, but all good things come to those who wait...and wait...and wait....
