Deal Alert: Buy One Droid/Droid Eris, Get One Eris Free
,----[ Quote ]
| If you want to teach your children the value
| of open source computing, you might want to
| look into buying them an Android smartphone.
| That sounds like it could be a costly
| proposition but, thanks to this new Verizon
| holiday deal, it's going to be easier than
| ever. Starting today, and going through
| December 5th, VZW customers will be able to
| get a Droid Eris free for every Droid or
| Droid Eris that they buy.

Ad wars: Droid manly; iPhone girly
,----[ Quote ]
| It's a strategy as old as the schoolyard, and
| it seems to be working â at least on one side
| of the yard. A new YouGov BrandIndex survey
| taken Thursday shows Motorola's buzz rising
| relative to Apple's and Research in Motion's
| (RIMM) among men 18 and older. And the
| company seems to be on track in its stated
| goal of selling 1 million Droids by New
| Years.

Review: Motorola DROID from VzWireless
,----[ Quote ]
| The DROID is undeniably fastâboth at running
| apps and at using the Internetâbut speed isn't
| everything. Our DROID exhibited an unfortunate
| tendency to become unresponsive, distracted by
| who knows what for anywhere from 10 to 60
| seconds, several times a day. Every so often,
| some apps closed unexpectedlyânot just
| downloaded apps, but Navigation and Email. The
| DROID is a brand new phone, running a brand
| new OS version, so some growing pains are
| expected. However, we hope to see these kinks
| resolved quickly by Motorola/VzWireless
| updates.
|
| In the long run, we would like to see the
| DROID deliver stronger out-of-the-box business
| apps, including a more feature-rich Exchange
| mail client, standard file attachment readers,
| and an integrated personal/business calendar
| app.
|
| Combining such enhancements with the DROID's
| already-strong voice-driven apps and embedded
| navigation would make this phone a stronger
| enterprise contender. Until then, we don't see
| the DROID delivering a knock-out punch to the
| iPhone. We do, however, find the DROID worthy
| of serious consideration by anyone shopping
| for an "App Phone" this holiday season.

| rave review. Meanwhile, the rumor of a
| Google-branded Android phone refuses to
| die, Palm's CEO trash-talks the Droid, and
| tomorrow Google will unveil its Linux-based

Droid: Enjoyed
,----[ Quote ]
| If I had my way, I would encourage Verizon
| Wireless to invest in both hologram
| technology and more "Star Wars" film rights.
| That would allow the carrier to hire an Alec
| Guinness lookalike who could pop up in 3-D
| visions in Verizon stores across the country,
| wave his hand over racks full of Motorola's
| (NYSE: MOT) new smartphone, and in full Obi-
| Wan Kenobi drag intone the words, "these are
| the Droids you're looking for."
