Motorola Droid (alias Sholes) finally gets a decent headshot

At last eluding the omnipresent Mr. Blurrycam, Motorola's Android-powered Sholes handset has finally gotten the sort of photography it deserves, apparently with an official go-to-market name of Droid -- or at least one decent photo of it. This pic, which doesn't really confirm or deny any of our suspicions about the device (Verizon was already in the bag), made a berth on the locked Twitter profile of Boy Genius, and hopefully there's more where this came from: we're getting tired of the tease.

Yes because out of all the ones that look even somewhat close, this is the winner of the knock off apple contest, with absolutely no resemblance other then it has a touch screen.

This device looks as outdated as RIMs operating system.

I have read that the colors available will be all black or platinum.

Inspiration? The iPhone is just a screen with 1 button. Not exactly new, groundbreaking or innovative.

BOOM! Headshot!

yup, that is the moto droid, had it in my hands 3 days ago at my vzw store. Kinda weird setup, too edgy for my taste, has slide out keyboard. Seems like touchscreen keyboard doesn't shift sideways only when you slide it open. Not sure about the looks really, kinda like HTC Imagio looks better, will see. It will be interesting to see new Storm 2, HTC Imagio and Pro2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 and this Droid creature fight for dumb customers who have no clue about what smart phones are for. There should be another one coming soon, probably from HTC, seems like VZ is ditching Blackberry slowly but surely. $30 data plan is a must. No way around it, it's not Alltel anymore my friends.
