We’ve heard rumors before of world phones that can be used on almost any network around the world.  One of our Motorola contacts indicated some time ago that Motorola was working on a device similar to this.  In a recent leak from TheDroidGuy, photos of a device that HTC and Verizon are rumored to be working on that could be released in early 2011 have appeared.

The device, shown in the photos, looks like it could be an absolute winner if it’s done properly.  It’s shown to include a hardware keyboard, a 4″ screen and the article mentions a processor running at at least 1.2Ghz.

Let’s hope this is true and this device arrives soon.  Maybe this is similar to the rumored T-Mobile G1 Blaze leaked recently but with the added radios for multiple network types.

Take a look at the rest of the photos below:

Looks nice huh?  Have you heard anything about this device?  Would you purchase a World phone that could be used on almost any network around the globe?  Give us your thoughts below!

    Yes, another 4-row piece of junk.

    And if it -is- a world phone, will that get at least 3G everywhere on Earth?
