RAZR Droid

Just bought the Droid RAZR unlocked from Amazon, and it's listed as the XT-910. Cnet doesn't show there being a GSM version of the phone, though it's listed as GSM, and my carrier clearly sells a GSM version.

Is the RAZR dual mode? Or does Motorola have 2 (well 3 if you count the MAXX) versions of the android razr?

That's the one I bought. So why does only the CDMA version show up on Motorola's website, Cnet, and Best Buy?
And is this offered by any USA carriers?

It is not compatible with T-Mobile (USA)'s broadband frequency. If it's not sold by AT&T it's probably intended for other markets.

A GSM version is listed on the Canadian site:

...and also on the UK site:

Doesn't T-Mobile operate on the 1900 mhz frequency (which the phone supports)?

T-Mobile's voice calls are on 1900, but their 3G/4G data is on 1700. There seems to be anecdotal evidence that 1900 data is available in a few markets:
