Hasta La Gadget!

Hey guys, it’s the Motorola Sholes! The rumored handset was conspicuously absent from Motorola’s recent GigaOm event, when the company rolled out its first Android handset, the Cliq, for T-Mobile. We heard talk of another handset “coming soon,” but we got the distinct feeling that Verizon users were getting the hardware shaft once again, when the much rumored smartphone never surfaced.

The Sholes A855 is back, albeit in veiled form, by way of the FCC site. The phone passed the organization’s testing, revealing a little bit on the feature side in the process, including EVDO Rev A and include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g. Information beyond that is scarce, though the phone is rumored to be arriving next month carrying the new, cooler “Tao” moniker.
