First, I forgot that the Droid is by Motorola. Could this be that
company's last gasp at mobile phones? My Moto SLVR was a very attractive
phone that made me sound like I was calling from an undersea cave--on
both Cingular and T-Mobile networks, plus Vodafone, Orange, Telefonica
in Europe. Its menus were voluminous/tedious, more than anyone could
ever need and a real waste of time. Only my Samsung was worse. Maybe the
Droid will be a big improvement?
iPhone on Verizon:
Depends on whether Apple wants to work from scratch or borrow from
existing multiband phones. Coordinating data and voice will be the main
problem. Here's a phone from Hong Kong that does quadband GSM and dual
CDMA,

These phones have been around for several years in east Asia. Verizon
sometimes sells at least one at their stores for customers who travel
outside the US, like the Moto and Samsung versions.
