Motorola Droid / Sholes / Tao launching October 30th?

@ Rob

Blackberries can multitask.

It’s very convenient that Sunday Oct 25th is cut off.

You’re wrong about the blackberries. They can definitely multitask and are pretty good at it.

@rob

winmo can multitask like no other.
most people’s argument of winmo over iphone was the multitasking.

It says 10/6 INTERNET, so its actually correct, just wont be in stores yet.

I don’t think its true…
The Droid/Sholes/Tao does not show up on this month’s rebate sheet

Which sucks, because I’m really looking forward to this phone (Still a toss up between the Omnia II though)

I guess you forgot Symbian and now Maemo too.

Symbian:Easy to hack, multi-tasking.
Maemo: Designed for hacking, absolute multi-tasking.

What about the HTC Desire????? I thought Verizon was getting an HTC android device? any news?

They are getting an Android powered HTC…no word on release yet though. Best I could find was “By the end of 2009″

The storm2 will launch oct.24-25. The omnia2 will launch around mid november. The Droid will launch late october/mid november along with the imagio. Verizon customers will be happy within the next couple of months.

Why is sholes not capatalized? Is there no specific format for this verizon calendar? I am unfamiliar, it just looks like it doesn’t belong.

What makes you say that ? There like the exact same rates as ATT, Sprint and T-Mobile are the only ones that are actually cheaper.

This calendar is bunk:

1. There is no Verizon branding anywhere on this calendar.

2. No txt8030 Razzle release date. The Razzle will launch 10/6 and hit stores later this month (engadget), yet apparently VZW doesn’t care enough about it’s release to mention it on an internal calendar?

The Sholes may release on Oct. 30th, but it has just as much chance launching on any other day after this garbage.

The storm 2 is going to launch on the 14th. My Verizon rep confirmed that last week with me, so I hope this is accurate.

From what I understand Android 2.0 will support multi-touch. Even though some reports say the sholes/tao/droid will be running on android 2.0 there is still quite a bit of skepticism which is very understandable. My question is this; if the sholes/tao/droid is NOT running 2.0 and does not have multi-touch at the time it is released, is it likely to be upgradeable to android 2.0? If it will be upgradeable, will simply the installation of android 2.0 give the sholes/tao/droid multi-touch at that point? I have a bad feeling the answer is no because the hardware won’t be made for multi-touch if it’s not running 2.0. I don’t claim to know very much about this subject though, so please let me know your thoughts.

looks like the sholes got a little make over. Def looks alot better.

Doubt this is correct at this point. It’s the 14th and the storm 2 hasn’t launched.

JUST GIVE ME THE ANDROID

look at the top picture idiot. the 25th is blank.

Looks like the Droid clock goes to zero on October 28.
Here is how to decode the clock:

The motoHEMORRHOID looks lame…

the droid has a nice res screen. the omnia 2 has a lower res but is amoled. soo what do u guys think is better?

does anyone know if the droid has a oleophobic coating on the screen??

I think the droid is going to be really nice. I bought the htc imagio and I hate it so much. Its laggy, the lock function is weird i just hate the phone and I am taking it back and getting the droid so i hope it delivers.
