So the question should be, "GSM, CDMA, or iDEN?" (although I highly doubt to see an iDEN version). My impression is that it won't be carrier specific but unless they want to engineer two or three totally different models, it will be network specific. That help you understand Dave's perspective a little better, Mr. Voice of Reason?

Not your fault but it shows the lemming culture we have here; thinking that the carrier and the handset should be a bundle. My hope is that the Android market will be so competitive that people will be able to buy an unlocked handset for a reasonable price and then have the ability to switch carriers at will.
