So, the release date was officially announced. And Verizon hasn’t even attempted to keep the Droid a secret. Maybe if they give people enough to drool over it, they think people might plan to keep that extra money in the bank to upgrade their phone. Who knows.
The Droid has been dubbed the “iPhone killer”, a title that I am still skeptical of. While I think what the Droid offers is impressive, it just can’t match the appeal of the iPhone…and Apple, in general.
Let’s hope it can live up to the hype. Anyone planning on buying the day of?
Apparently the tech world is buzzing about the new Motorola Droid, which is being called “serious iPhone competition”.
Okay, I get it. You made a pretty amazing phone, Motorola. Your “iDont” is everything the iPhone doesn’t have and probably never will have (unless Apple gets smart about listening to iPhone users).
But I have a hard time believing this phone will be a bigger seller than the iPhone, even with amazing features. For most people, their iPhone has little to do with their loves of the device. Call it peer pressure, but it’s the cool phone to have. Unless the Droid can manage that, it won’t sell beyond the hard-core phone freaks.
