Your Verizon Wireless friends may be boasting of their new DROID 3s and making your latest and greatest feel like a piece of forgotten 2006 tech, but fret not. The latest word from the FCC is that GSM carriers will have their own QWERTY-packin’ DROID *insert number here* device too. To the FCC, the “DROID 3″ is merely known as ID IHDT56MF2.
