A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
FIRST
@androidfan1 SECOND
this is awesome. wish I was on Verizon :(
@androidfan1 Really...first... anyways this cell is making me lust for Android :)
Looks really strange TBH. I will give them some points for trying though :)
Artoo! What have they done to you? You're . . . . FLAT!
Dear me! You must repair him! If any of my circuits or gears will help, I'll gladly donate them!
@Totoro
This is definitely the Droid I'm looking for. Mind tricks will do you no good.
@Totoro And what's awesome about this version (aside from the fact that it's already r2-d2 and awesome) is that it is white! White bezels are already sexy, imo, and this just ups the sexy anti!
@androidfan1 No offense to the Star Wars fans here, but owning and flashing these out in public will basically scream out you're a virgin. lol
@SeeThreepio
Now people are REALLY going to think Droids are for nerds. Damn Verizon and Star Wars nerds!
@DroidYou It looks hideous and tacky.
@SomePerson what if i'm married and got this phone, GEEK ALERT??
@The Dark Knight. Don't underestimate the power of the Darkside nerd
@SomePerson Unless you aren't (a virgin that is)
@thenutty1
I'm sure it will be the perfect accessory to go along with a Star Wars "New Hope" lunchbox and pocket protector. Why not just stamp "certified geek" on your forehead? I'm only saying... that phone looks weird for adults.
@Lord Vader
So you are a nerd too?
@SomePerson That joke is so old and lame. Those same Star Wars fans have families and probably are your bosses now. So get over yourself already, junior.
@SomePerson Chicks like star wars. Especially slutty chicks (Princess Leia Bikini and Padme ripped torso skin tight costume are top sellers for halloween)
Does it come with built in Death Star plans?
@SomePerson That might explain why Android users aren't getting any sex:

Have to be pretty nerdy to want that
@cardfan Guess I'm pretty nerdy... I want, pwease.
@cardfan
Or you need to have grown up playing with the R2-D2 action figure so much that the chrome paint rubbed off.
@cardfan
although not my cup of tea, i'm sure there are plenty out there who's cup this is. enough so that i'm willing to bet these things will sell out.
@cardfan
It's a mainstream as hell reference. I suppose if someone really wants one enough to get it rather than (or in addition to) a normal Droid 2 though, they can have the honor of the nerd title.
@cardfan
Only as nerdy as those "cool" people who wear their favorite football team's jerseys to, say, their wedding.
Why, yes, I'm a nerd and proud of it.
There's a source link?
@LiqwidZero Use The Source!
@Lord Vader
well done. Wellll done.
...and android users say they aren't geeks ;) i kid, i kid.
@system22
Yup, think you hit the nail on the head there
The emails they sent out said the same thing. I would have tipped you if I knew you didn't know....
This could have been done so much better.
Sorry guys, that shit's ugly.
@Scape3d its what mom uses to lure her 30 yr old son out of her basement with ;)
@Scape3d
Well, I bet the 3CPO edition will be even uglier.
@Scape3d
Agreed. If the phone itself had a dome shaped top it would look bad ass. R2-D2's head is not shaped like Bart Simpson.
@Scape3d
When I heard R2-D2 edition, I was like maybe a pic of Artoo is etched into the back. Now that I see this, I really wish it was what I thought it should have been...
You can put R2D2 on almost anything and it would sell.

Just had a nerdgasm. Must. Get.!
The source link is from where?
@Clark Kent
It so ugly.
Mark this off my to-buy list.

@LiqwidZero Ehh its not the most attractive device I guess, based on the back of it. I really do want to see it in person though.
I'm surprised Lord Vader hasn't posted anything smart yet...
@Diggler
Didn't you get the memo? He's hovering around Endor in an attempt to fix the Death Star.
If he's not here by now, you know it must be going well.
@Diggler I think he's still pissed at R2 for stealing the plans for the original Death Star.
The Droid, I have been looking for, finally!!!!!!
What source link?
Engadget is imaging things....
Saweeet!!!
Android found his lost brother and they're united
