Motorola Sholes A855 passes FCC, WiFi on board

The long awaited Motorola Sholes (A855), bound for Verizon has received the FCC’s stamp of approval, sporting EVDO Rev A, and a dose of WiFi as well. The reported release date is around the end of October, and these FCC reports are typically a month ahead of phone releases/announcements. Not many other juicy details from the FCC filing.
