Motorola’s first EV-DO phone for Verizon, the E815, has been approved by the FCC, and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival on our shores (of the East River). You see, while I’ve been lusting over that $80-a-month EV-DO data plan from Verizon, my laptop doesn’t have a PCMCIA card—part of the sacrifice of the small, I guess—so I’ve been waiting for an EV-DO handset from Verizon that actually supports Bluetooth. Now granted, Verizon has an evil history with clamshell, Bluetooth-capable Motorola phones, but I’m even willing to pay the extra $80 if they’ll let me use the handset as a modem. Time will tell, I guess—it’s due out in first quarter.
