Verizon Motorola Droid announced, comes on Nov. 6 for $199.99
Motorola and Verizon Wireless have just announced the Motorola Droid, the world’s first Android 2.0 smartphone.
As expected, the Moto Droid will be available from Verizon starting November 6. The price? Well, Verizon asks $199.99 for the Droid, with a 2-yr agreement and after a $100 rebate.
Motorola and Verizon present the Droid as being a “no-fuss, high-tech, location-aware, voice-recognizing, over-the-air updating, multi-tasking machine.”
Most of the smartphone’s features are now confirmed, including the 3.7 inch, 480 x 854 pixels capacitive touchscreen display, EV-DO Rev A connectivity, Wi-Fi, GPS, D1 video playback, stereo Bluetooth, 3.5mm headset jack, Flash 10 ready HTML browser, 5MP autofocus camera with dual-LED flash, 16GB of storage space, MicroSD card support, and 1400 mAh battery.
Funny excerpt from the press release: with a display having “more than 400,000 pixels total, DROID has more than twice that of the leading competitor” – this competitor is most probably the iPhone.
But now the question is: is Verizon’s Droid a better choice than AT&T’s iPhone or not?
