The Android 2.0 OS for mobile phone is awesome and is starting to take the market by storm. Only hours remain before Verizon unleashes their newest phone, Andorid 2.0 phone, Droid. I just wanted to show a picture of Droid’s website, which is astounding of how much it offers right out of the gate. This ball of fury shows 69 things (yes I counted) that Droid “does” or has its arsenal of features. I’m still sadly on AT&T, so I won’t get to too much join in the joy of Android just yet, but I’m keeping good faith that Dell and AT&T are going to be dropping something huge for me and soon! -Greg

If  your already on Verizon, lucky, and your looking for a new phone, your going to buy Droid. If you don’t buy a Droid then I’d have to say you shouldn’t be allowed to make your own decisions anymore. -Greg

A year ago, Android was an unfinished OS for nerds, bursting with potential. With Android 2.0, it’s evolved into something sleeker, more refined and focused—but still something not quite human.

Over the last year, Android’s evolved more rapidly and appeared in more shapes than any other smartphone OS. Every major update has made Android more capable and advanced, while custom interfaces from companies like HTC and Motorola, mean it’s constantly and continually shifting shapes. When you look at the bucket of bolts everybody started with, some of the oh-so-shiny end results were kind of amazing. Android 2.0 blows all of that away, and lays down a platform for the next year that’s wildly more compelling, even as it retains a lot of the same fundamental weaknesses.

So apparently Verizon / Motorolas Droid phone counting down website went live by “accident” and showed its colors, and they are AWESOME! Seriously folks, once I started to read a bit more about Android I knew that it was going be my next phone of choice. I just have to wait for Dell to finish designing their first entry into the cell phone market. Why, because Dell is creating a phone with Android for AT&T. However, after reading the specs on the Motorola Droid for Verizon, I have 2 thoughts. 1. “OMG” I want this phone and I’m almost willing to part ways with AT&T and head to Verizon to get it. 2. Imagine if I wait for the AT&T Dell created Android phone,  it’s Dell. I’m mean I would have to assume that their first entry into the cell phone market would be a powerful one at the least, that would have to match and beat their current competitors, which at this point would really only be the Motorola Droid. ‘Nuff said, I’m going to impatiently wait for the Dell Android phone, and spend my extra time drooling on the Droid at my nearest Verizon store after its officially released. Hurry up Dell, I’m awaiting to speak those infamous words, “Dude, I’m getting a Dell!” -Greg

Verizon has some of the crappiest phones available, so there’s been no shortage of leaks about it getting an Android phone. Now the Verizon/Google love-affair is official: Big Red will introduce two Android-based handsets “within the next few weeks”.

Verizon plans to support Google Voice, saying you either have an open device or you don’t, and theirs will be open. Hopefully that means VoIP calls over 3G will be possible. No word if one of the two Android phones will be the Verizon Motorola Sholes/Droid, but we’ll fill you in when we know more. [PR Newswire]
