Droid by Motorola
Droid by Motorola is all over the net. Motorola did a mistake and accidentally (is it really an accident) put up information of the Droid early on their Droid by Motorola website.
Motorola’s dedicated site to the Droid Google Android 2.0-based smartphone on Verizon accidentally went live and it’s chock full of stats and specs for the highly-anticipated device.
The site calls it a “pint-sized power plant,” “app-mashing” and “multitasking” with “power” and “intelligence.” In other words, putting the smart back into smartphone.
The Droid is the first Android phone to be running the Android 2.0 software. Motorola has taken down the Droid by Motorola page.

The Droid looks very promising but of course it all comes down to how much would it cost? The Droid by Motorola might be widely touted as an iPhone killer, but i think its more of a “BlackBerry killer.” What do you think?
