Motorola Droid mailers go out, scare children

Great! Just great. I was within a few weeks of finally dumping Verizon – not because I was unhappy with the service and 3G (although I did grow to HATE my Moto Q 1st Gen) – but because I would be far more happy with Sprint’s more budget friendly pricing structure. AND, they had added an Android to their line, which cinched the deal for me.

Until I saw this. Could the Moto Droid running Android on America’s 2nd 4G network – albeit with a pricing structure and fee’s that are way out of control be the launching pad of Motorola’s march back to the top?!

Something tells me yes . . . and while the HTC Hero still holds a lot of interest, the few features we do know and the sci-fi angle adds an air of hip intrigue that will make it tough to turn my back on Verizon now!

I CANT UNDERSTAND THE HYPE AND ANTICIPATION OVER A PHONE (DROID), THAT PROBABLY WONT WORK AS WELL AS AN IPHONE. I HAVE HAD THE ORIGINAL IPHONE, AND NOW THE 3G IPHONE, AND PROBABLY WILL BUY THE 3GS. IPHONES ARE PHENOMENAL AND HAVE OVER 75,000 APP’S TO CHOSE FROM, AND REAL WEB BROWSING THATS FAST. PEOPLE THAT HATE IPHONES BECAUSE THEY ARE APPLE PRODUCTS ARE JUST HATERS, AND ARE AFRAID OF LEARNING SOMETHING NEW. APPLE OPERATING SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE SYSTEM IN THE IPHONE WILL ALWAYS WORK MORE EFFICIENT THAN WINDOWS BASED MOBILE SYSTEMS AND HAVE LESS FREEZE UP PROBLEMS. TRY AN IPHONE AND THE DROID WILL JUST BE ANOTHER IPHONE LOOK ALIKE “DRONE” TO YOU. HYPE IS JUST THAT, HYPE! OH, BY THE WAY – CHECK APPLE’S STOCK PRICE TODAY. SINCE MAY OF 2009 THE SHARE VALUE HAS GONE FROM $97.00 A SHARE TO $204.00 A SHARE AS OF YESTERDAY. PROBABLY MORE THAN VERIZON AND MOTOROLA COMBINED. THINK ABOUT IT!

So, I just cracked the coded countdown on the droid website, really simple, it can’t be accurate as it is counting down from about 5063000, leaving us with 58 days until release.

Best Buy is suppose to sell this no later than Oct 28 for $599.

What a piece of crap.

woooow, well first off,
anybody who subscribes to brand loyalty sooo much that they would deal with the ridiculous bull shit that goes with an iphone is fucking retarded, idk about anyone else the idea of paying for every app and not being able to send video and pictures is dumb, my 1999 nokia could send pictures.

and second, anybody who would pay that much for a phone without a removable battery or upgradable memory is even more retarded.

point is, that if u really want to compare android to apple, then apple loses, open source is where its at, even apple is considering switching but theyre to money hungry, anyone who still subscribes to the bullshit that goes with an iphone in about a year from now is just brand loyal and stubborn, all the proof is there that the android os blows apple’s out of the water.

so please consider the fact that u have a piece of shit phone from a piece of shit company next time you post a comment about something you obviously have no idea about.

sooo uh i have a question
when you pay for the “smartphone fee”, do you pay the 30.00$ or whatever a month AND for minutes and unlimited texting and picture messaging? or is the messaging included in the fee?
