Q. I have seen pictures of the Motorola Droid online and I really like it. It is supposed to come out on November 6th and I really would like to know how much it will cost. Are there any Verizon employees out there? Please answer my question!
A. Okay, Its called the Motorola Droid. Its a Smartphone running Android 2.0 Eclair. Its going to be released on November 6, 2009 on Verizon Wireless.com, in-stores, and other retailers. Best Buy is accepting pre-orders now. Its going to be $299 with a 2/year contract with a $100 mail-in-rebate from Verizon in a form of a Debit Card. OR if you get it from Best Buy they give you the Rebate Instantly which means you only pay for the $199 price tag since thats what the phone is after rebate. Now Monthly you have to pay a $30/Data Plan which is mandatory to have the phone as well as the Voice plan and if you want Visual Voicemail, Text, Insurance, etc thats also extra. But the Minimum your looking at is the Data Plan and Voice plan. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. Good Luck.
Does the Motorola Droid use data from the Verizon network while connected to a wifi connection?
Q. I have a Motorola Droid and have the 150MB data plan from Verizon. When I am at home I always use my wi-fi connection. I've had this phone for only three days now rarely get on the web or any web based application and I have already used 25MB of data. How is this so when I am almost always on a wi-fi connection? I already checked all my running applications and none of them are using any data right now. Please help.
A. You only use your MB when you're on the 3G network, so your Wifi connection isn't eating up your megabytes. Really, the 25 MB for a Droid is next to nothing because of all the background data. If your phone jumps off Wifi at all, it will start counting 'em up.
If you do have to get off the Wifi and want to avoid the auto-updates from the apps and running widgets, go to settings, accounts & sync settings, and turn off background data. This should help you out. You may also want to turn off auto-sync, which is directly underneath background data's setting.

Is the motorola droid an iphone killer?
Q. I have the motorola droid and i am curious about what people think.
A. It's not so much the Droid that is the Iphone killer, but the OS that it is running.
The Droid was the first in the high end android device class running android 2.0. When the Droid got updated to android 2.1 it put it on the same playing field as the iphone 3gs and iphones that are below the 3gs. It was on the same playing field because, feature wise, it did all that the iphone did such as apps and pinch to zoom etc. However, the Droid did much more than that.
For example:
-It ran multiple applications at once
-Live wallpapers - whereas the iphone just has a black background behind its icons. You cant even set wallpaper behind the icons.
-Built in turn by turn voice Google Navigation
-Google account integration ( so that means, google: maps, gmail, picassa, buzz, voice, reader etc.)
-Speach to Text everywhere on the phone, not just the browser
-Widget support
-Support for full customization on the home screens
And the list just goes on and on.
Even with the newest update to android 2.2, flash will be provided which apple will not even consider putting it on their phones.
Also, Google's software is open source so this allows developers to put applications on the market that apple would not even allow. Also, iphone users are stuck using itunes as a way to transport media back and forth to their phones where and android device is not limited in this fashion.
But like I say, it's really not the droid that is the iphone killer. Its Google that is the apple killer
The droid was just the first phone to really utilize some of the major features of the OS and new features as the OS continues to grow.
