Everything was so slick and quick. This thing seriously pwns for multi-tasking and widget support. I like that a task-manager pops up when you hold down one of the physical buttons on the front, etc. GOOD STUFF, MOTO!

Any word on VZW's plan pricing? Is it the same as their other smartphones?

Apple and MS should be shakin' in their boots, right about now. GOOGLE IS SKYNET!]]>Oct 28th 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/
"· To get the most from DROID by Motorola smartphone, customers will need to subscribe to a Nationwide voice plan and an Email and Web for Smartphone plan. Nationwide voice plans begin at $39.99 for monthly access for 450 minutes and an Email and Web for Smartphone plan is $29.99 for monthly access."]]>Oct 28th 2009 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/
Motorola, Verizon & Google 24 months later: "Hey everybody, check out the Droid – with a physical keyboard!"

IF IT DOES IM BUYING THIS UNLOCKED AND GETTING THE 1200 TXTS/ 1200 MINS WITH 50 MB DATA FOR $29.95. Verizon's post paid costs a bit too much in the pocket.

Well my purchase won't be til Feb 2010.

So It's going to be between this or the rumored X3. And the X3 will have all this plus a faster processor. With no keyboard. Your options are coming, lol.]]>Oct 28th 2009 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/Oct 28th 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/Oct 28th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/Oct 28th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/

All I know...is unless the X3 comes onto T-Mobile...my next service provider will be Verizon. What with them getting the Dragon and Droid. I will be all on it.

For example, in portrait mode, the keys are closer together, but i use my left hand to hold the phone and three or sometimes four fingers in my right hand to type. It actually helps that the keys are closer to each other cause your fingers have to move a much lesser distance than using thumbs in landscape mode. But, I'm sure this will work out less well for you if your fingers are really fat and stubby. All in all, speed depends on the technique and the person.]]>Oct 29th 2009 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/Oct 28th 2009 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/Oct 28th 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/
One more thing. To all those that hate on the iPhone, none of this would have happened without it. Just keep that in mind the next time you blindly bash it.]]>Oct 28th 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/


oh and google bring this to the blackberry tour puhlease!]]>Oct 28th 2009 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/
Then the crown for the rise in smartphone popularity arguably goes to a combination of Nokia and RIM.

I'm just failing to see how the smartphone market would have been affected if an arm chip had never been branded with a bitten piece of fruit.]]>Oct 28th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/Do you think WebOS or Android would exist and be as good as they are without the iPhone? Do you think Verizon would be willing to open up their network if AT&T were not adding more subs due to the iPhone? Do you think WinMo 7 would be worth a damn or even coming out in the next 2 years without the iPhone? Or that the smartphone market would be growing at this pace without the iPhone? Give me a break! Turn off the blind fanboism and realize that the smartphone industry was stagnate until the iPhone was announced and released. Since then HTC, Palm, Blackberry, Microsoft, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mo, Motorola, etc, have all stepped up and produced outstanding hardware, software, and consumer-oriented plans and services. Without the iPhone we likely would not have nearly the choice and quality in the smartphone market we do today. I'm not saying it is the best phone in the world or that it is the end all be all, but it most certainly was the catalyst for the current market we have.]]>Oct 28th 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/
Garmin's got a pretty solid product. And I can use it ALMOST anywhere. I don't need cell phone coverage - just satellites.

Agreed. The Q9H was a great phone, especially for a wm standard device. So Motorola got something right in recent times, and the Droid looks just as good.]]>Oct 28th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/
@ iDavey well you happen to be one of the lucky few to havent experienced bad motorola products. Seeing that Motorola has been on a steady decline for the past decade other then a few revenue spikes through out the years. As well the horrible reviews from countless sources on their product line and this move being their big push to save their company seems to say different then what you are saying. ]]>Oct 28th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/
Only reason most their phone were reviewed badly because they kept milking the RAZR line...just like Sidekick. They didn't know when to make something else.

But if we ARE going by reviews then...every single review has placed this at high level build quality and wonderful software.

So what's the excuse of bashing Motorola now?]]>Oct 28th 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/Oct 28th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/Oct 29th 2009 2:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-official-on-verizon-199-on-contract-coming-nov/Oct 28th 2009 10:29AM
