Definitely, its a perfect release date for an Android Phone(s) that will crush the iPhail 4.....However, i'm disappointed cause they wont have any good phones for AT&T]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/
I know that. I thought so because of the date. 23rd is definitely going to take its toll on those lines on 24th outside those glass boxes!
But, depending on how the new droid is, it could be either way... lines getting shorter OR maybe longer... ]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/True...but I still think a majority of apple users would buy a piece of dog shit if it had an apple logo on it, they wouldn't really care what anyone else has to offer :P OK i'm just being ridiculous but :P:P]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/Jun 15th 2010 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/
yesss indeed.. very excited for this.. especially since i cancelled my evo order last night after waiting a week for it to ship.. im pretty happy ive decided to wait around for what verizon has to offer in the next month or so and im pretty sure ill know exactly what they have to offer after june 23rd..

my thing is though, i dont want any "motoblur".. so im really hoping the droid 2 (dont care about the droid x) is coming with just stock froyo on it and no motoblur.. ]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/
Didn't the Incredible JUST come out for Verizon?

And less than 2 months you've got another android phone that will probably outspec it?

Pathetic...]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/

Pathetic? No,.. i think you mean PROGRESS.

This is turning into the desktop PC power wars of the late 90's and its somthing that makes it exciting all over again.]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/
Incredible = HTC

Droid = Motorola

Different companies. So competition and variety is "pathetic" according to you?]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/You took that from the giz. Blasphemy I say! I could be labeled as a "fanboy" of apple, but only by preference. I have a Mac, a laptop and the iPhone (and airports) but I don't buy everything they put out. Only what looks good, performs, and what I need. ]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/Jun 15th 2010 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/While that will always be true, I have a bunch of friends who months ago had no clue what a Droid was. Now they absolutely know what a Droid is, they have seen them and played with them and actually are interested. These are the kinds of people that won't bother switching carriers just for an iPhone. They will gladly find a home on Verizon or Sprint with a nice new Android phone that is just as impressive as the iPhone 4 if not more so with huge screens, flash, HDMI out, etc. ]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/

I think it still has a very solid place. 3.7 inch tablet. Smaller form factor, very speedy. If you think a 4.3 inch phone is overboard, Incredible might be the phone for you.

I, on the other hand, want to get my bear claws on that beast up there!]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/While true, it still has its "niche" as a reasonably sized android phone, that makes no sacrifices in power or storage. And while the Eris is nice, it is going away soon, so the DInc will be the only phone with Sense, which may still draw people in.

Given that the order backlog is up to 7/13, i don't think people have really stopped ordering the phone yet...]]>Jun 15th 2010 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/Jun 15th 2010 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/

Why would I need help to sleep at night? The proof is right there.

Sprint LIED about their sales figures.

To date NOT a single android phone has outperformed nor outsold the iPhone 3GS (and of course the iPhone 4 is coming out which will continue this trend)

verizon has spent millions of these "droid does" commercials yet they still ended up losing money.

android itself is a hot mess of an OS that is fragmented and getting worse by the month. ]]>Jun 15th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/Jun 15th 2010 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/Jun 15th 2010 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/motorola-verizon-announcing-next-generation-of-droid-on-june/Jun 15th 2010 4:46PM
