According to MKM Partners analyst Tero Kuittinen the Motorola Sholes destined for Verizon Wireless will be too expensive for success at $199:
the price tag could be too high for a phone he says is targeted at a youth demographic. He says the phone is likely to feature a graphics accelerator capable of 3D gaming performance that exceeds the Sony PSP handheld – while an “impressive accomplishment,” he thinks the intended price is going to look high versus rivals.
In addition Phandroid.com suggests that at the September 10th Motorola event the company is likely to announce yet ANOTHER T-Mobile Android phone – the Motorola Morrison, but no Verizon phones.

Leaked Verizon Wireless Road Map: Motorola Sholes In 2009
A leaked Verizon Wireless data sheet, outlining its upcoming smartphone and mobile phone roster, hit the Web this week, offering insight into release dates for some long-awaited smartphones, including the BlackBerry Storm 2, the BlackBerry Curve 2 and the Google Android-based Motorola Sholes, among others.
The document lists Motorola Sholes to come to Verizon in late October release. The Motorola Sholes will mark the first-ever Google Android device for Verizon. It is also one of Motorola’s early entrants into the Android game. Earlier this year, Motorola said it would focus heavily on Android devices in a bid to stem slumping device sales and declining revenues. The Motorola Sholes will be the early fruits of that endeavor.
