Motorola Droid startup teased, obnoxious robot voice and all (video)

None too long after its first headshot was posted did Motorola Droid (a.k.a. Sholes) make a covert encore appearance, only showing off this time the startup process. It provides a bit more evidence -- as if we really needed any -- that the phone's bound for Verizon's network, and any Android customizations, at least from the initial glance, are nothing to write home about. It might be running Eclair, but we really can't say from this. One thing's for certain: we'll be looking for a way to turn off that "Droid" voice from speaking every time we power up the phone. Video after the break.

Hell yes. II don't think people would have minded, and once they figured out what it was, they would feel "in" on the joke.

You know you're addicted to this phone when you watch, then pause then replay the video 5+ times.

The voice is kinda creepy... I was expecting it to say "Intruder alert" or "Kill the humanoid" instead.

It sounds like it wants to say, "Rock. Robot rock." :)

At least it could say "By your command"
