Motorola Droid
Well if you don’t already know, the Motorola Droid is kinda a big deal for Verizon, Google, and Motorola. Reviews around the tech industry are positive about the Android-powered device (see links below). To sum up the past several weeks of information, DROID is a series of phones on Verizon that will be running Google’s Android OS. HTC will be releasing Droid Eris on Verizon’s Network also. But the Motorola Droid is Verizon’s flagship handset for the DROID lineup right now.
Also there is confirmation of a GSM-version of the Motorola Droid to be released in Europe. Overseas the device is known as the Motorola Milestone. As of right now, the Euro-version does have multi-touch support (meaning you can do finger gestures like pinch zooming a la Apple iPhone), which the US version has not confirmed or demoed – score one for the Europeans. However, U.S. GSM users at AT&T and T-Mobile should not expect the Motorola Droid/Milestone to come out in GSM form stateside, but nothing is stopping them from nabbing a Euro-version.
The Motorola Droid will be released in Verizon stores nationwide on Friday, November 6th at a price of $200 on contract of course. Several of the Verizon Wireless stores nationwide will be opening at 7am or 8am local time to launch their flagship device. Also the cool dock cost $30. With the marketing blitz and tremendous specs and rave reviews, expect the Motorola Droid to be a success.
