I assembled this thread for contributing factual, and/or helpful info about this new phone; now that we have an official name for this exciting new Android 2.x device from Motorola. If you have any pertinent info about the Droid, you may post it to this thread. Please list any questions or other comments in a separate thread. 

Thank You

Haven't posted there, but thanks for the cross-link.  Didn't realize that the Hero or Tao would be the droid.  Which one is it?

[sonyab523]

lowagriz that was to the creator of the thread not you, sorry.

The HTC Hero is a different device than the Motorola Droid. All the details are in my thread. But since the HTC Hero is out for Sprint you can just go on the Sprint site and have a looksies or try it out in the Sprint store. It will be the same thing but ours looks different.

Here is a very good post on what the phone is capable of. This phone will not be dumb ed down, crippled, or bloated with junk ware that VZW is notorious for. The phone is rumored to have more power that a PSP, and have an independent GPU.

Rumored release date by reliable source October 30 2009

alright figured the coundown out. it is derived from the clock on your computer. so if you change your computer to October 28, and go on droiddoes.com, the coundown clock will show all the same digit and will no longer count down. expect an anouncement or release on the 28th.

just saw new droid commericial which ended with a big  NOVEMBER at the end of the ad

[Paleogirl2003]

In a comments thread on one of the boy genius report articles talking about the droid, one of the posters said that this phone will require a 29.99 extra data plan even if your plan includes unlimited data.

can anyone confirm or deny this (I really hope it isn't true)?
