Your the moron. I know who cut the price. Never claimed it was verizon. Either way why buy it from verizon now when you save $80 bucks through Dell. Like the article said what will verizon do. Their flagship is being underminerd. MORON, lots of things are beyond you.

I guess Verizon's early termination fee might go up to $400 now.

you are a moron. Just about every major industry analyst has publicly stated the Droid sales have exceeded expectations with 250,000 moving through the stores in the first week. This does not include Internet sales or upgrades processed through Customer Service over the phone nor does it include sales from major retailers like Best Buy. Although it is impossible to know what the overall sales are so far that include internet, phone, and third-party retailers, based on inventory movements and wireless data traffic increases (reported by phone arena last week). the Motorola Droid is doing well. One would only imagine what sales would've been like if it was released simultaneously in 8 countries from an established brand with a cult-like following like that one obsolete, over-hyped, obsolete fruit phone did.

Well don't get mad at me because analyst had low expectations. It's not hard to exceed them when their low. You sound like a mad analyst.

Also selling in 8 more countries wouldn't mean sh!t. The world has experinced motorola phones. Apple sells cause the world never had an apple phone.

Apple sells because the world wants Apple phones. There's nothing really novel about motorola.

You're still a moron. If you actually read a business journal (WSJ for example) or watch a business show, you will see that every expert said this was do or die for Motorola and the expectations were set realy high for both them and Verizon. And don't say that selling in 8 more countries doesn't mean shit when you and all the other iphone fanboys use the iphone's sales figures in all 8 countries to blast the Droid's sales figures in 1 country. I personally was never a fan of motorola, but its not about Motorola, its about Google, and that is the novelty, which is why Google will surpass Apple and ultimately become the #1 OS in the WORLD by 2012. Even if it were strictly about Motorola, considering they were at one time the 2nd largest handset manufacturer in the world behind Nokia does say they have the ability to return to the top. I was skeptical about the Droid too because it came from Motorola until I got one for my wife and it is definitely a winner for both Motorola and Verizon, and I personally think its better than the iphone, which to me is a strong multi-media device but a weak phone and even weaker service provider. The Droid is a great phone on a great network, and it has the potential to be a great multi-media device as well. Say what you will, but considering that its still relatively new to the market, its potential is what will make it the industry's best.

You don't know shit. You think cause you read the wall street journal and Watch Business shows your well informed. Sound like a douche. Making predictions on a company who's income is on advertising and search. Not software. Android platform is a hobby with no goal in mind. An extremely open software leaves it vulnerable to attack by what ever a malicious person wants, and this on a large scale. Even software designers aren't to excited about the android platform. No $$ there to be made. Android software and apps are for tinkerers. Apple and apps for making $$. Android won't see much success espeacially if google decides to make their own phone. How you gonna give the same software to your business partners for their phones( htc moto Sony ) if your the competition and your software. Google will keep the latest version of android for themselves and every one else the subpar one. Better yet they launch the chrome os on their phone and loose interest in their own android platform. Then what.

sprint advertised heavily too when they should be focusing on their network. i mean on the movie eagle eye, desperate housewives and the ugly truth they show their cell phones with a huge sprint logo. i have yet to see one movie or show where they use verizon phones.

At least he quotes sources. What do you have? Your incredibly stupid, absolutist brain? Your shoddy grammar and poor word choice indicates an adolescent having a temper tantrum. Making ad-hominem attacks, not addressing his actual points, you fit the bill for a grade A troll. Google won't make their own phone, you retard, they even announced as such that Android will remain a Mobile OS and not an actual phone. The strength of Android is that it has been released on so many phones, rather than the one (I'm not counting the original or the 3G) supported by Apple. If Android apps are for tinkers, then WHY are there over 10,000 apps available for Android right now? Surely a hobbyist's OS would have far less? Your points are poorly-thought out and you seem to like making conclusions from nothing. Grow up.

You ARE an idiot, aren't you? 'The world has experienced motorola phones'? So how would you explain the fact that Windows is the most used OS in the world? Wouldn't the world have ALREADY EXPERIENCED Windows? Face it, you don't know what the hell you're talking about, and your poor grammar and excessive use of slang and profanity disgusts me.

talk to me when you graduate high school, you dumbass. I am well informed because I read multiple business journals from a wide array of sources because i don't claim to be an expert at phones or technology, but I do claim to be well informed because i listen to a variety of experts in this industry, and I don't discount one thing over another because "i like it and it makes me look cool". That is the problem with Apple and their fanboys. By your logic, apple shouldn't be in the phone business, music sharing business, or any other technology because they were originally a computer developer. Google is one of the most revered and respected companies in the world, and they are one of the best innovators around. Don't get mad at me because they've displaced Apple as the world leader in technology and innovation. Let me know how that crappy iphone does in a year or two when Android reaches its full potential on LTE technology. Google is about openness and development, and they're the best at what they do. And who's network do you think that Google's phone is going to run on? Motorola is just the hardware provider, Google does the software, and Verizon provides the network. When Google makes their own phone, they will be both the hardware and software developer, and you think the highly publicized partnership between Google and Verizon was only about the Droid? if you do believe that, then you both naive AND a dumb fuck.

Shocking that you think it's better. You have no mind of your own and promote anything Verizon
