Pricing?

Is there any official word on how much the Droid will cost? MFNickster (talk) 20:37, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing official. We should know soon, though. --Freddicus (talk) 13:39, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's $299 with $100 mail-in rebate for a Two-Year contract. --Freddicus (talk) 18:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be in the references http://phandroid.com/2009/10/22/motorola-droid-specs-pics-features-at-motorola-com/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oxygenfire111 (talk • contribs) 04:59, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Droid is Verizon's name for it's line of Verizon Android phones

We can wait to add this until it's better confirmed, but it seems Verizon's HTC Android phones will also be using the Droid moniker, probably. Mathiastck (talk) 23:03, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might be confusing the Operating System (Android) with the Motorolla phone (Droid) 129.139.1.68 (talk) 15:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Onboard memory

I've found outdated and errnoeous sources that state the phone ships with a half-gig of OS and application storage, but I haven't been able to find anything recent enough to reflect the post-release specs and bundled 16GB MicroSDHC card announcement. How much space is available for the OS?

Furthermore, does Eclair eliminate the previous restrictions forbidding the installation of Android applications on removable memory? Can apps be installed on the MicroSDHC port with stock firmware? MrZaius^talk 11:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found answers to both: Limited to 512mb onboard flash. MrZaius^talk 15:09, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Motorola Milestone

The Droid will be released in Europe as the Motorola Milestone. Well, it's not exactly the same model. The Droid is CDMA, whilst the Milestone is GSM. Should it be a different article (because of the different transmission protocols they use), or should it be all in this article?--Lester 07:36, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An article w/ the differences (just a few hours old, so it's current): http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Motorola-Droid-Renamed-Milestone-for-Europe-South-America-254731/
