The VZW corporate store in Frisco Texas will be releasing both Droids at Midnight. They will reopen their doors at 11 pm on November 5th so they can start handing out numbers. They will also be doing a drawing to give away 3 FREE droids. Once its midnight they will start selling out droids. They will be getting additional inventory since they are a location offering the midnight release.
Be the first to get the DROID in DFW!
Store phone # is 972-668-5790

Have another, but didn’t upload correctly/can’t reupload. But the difference is that that one is in the sidebar.

[...] already told you the Motorola Droid was going to launch on November 6th when a Google Search seemed to list that date in Verizon ads for the Droid. But they pulled the ad [...]

Go on verizon.com and type in droid on the search box. It will show A PICTURE OF THE MOTOROLA SHOLES WITH BIG WORDS SAYING NOVEMBER ON THEM! Probably, they will announce on october 30 that it will come out in 1 week.

The “alien-android-font” countdown timer is interesting. Assuming it’s counting down odometer-style in base 10 (which seems to be the case), the deciphered number is (or rather, was):

10034420

I thought at first this was the number of seconds until launch. But that would put the launch date almost four months out. That can’t be right.

After watching it count down for a minute, the second digit resets from 0 to 5, indicating that the two right digits go from 59 to 00, not from 99 to 00.

So it’s a clock. That would make the next two digits (44) minutes, and so on.

That would put the launch at 10 days, 03 hours, 44 minutes, and 20 seconds.

When I recorded this time, it was 3 hours and 44 minutes to midnight, EST. So at midnight tonight, it will be 10 days to launch, which would be 12:00 AM, October 30.

But that’s a week before the Googled date of November 6. What gives?

Yes, I’m a geek.

If Sprint doesn’t get their shit together regarding the Hero by addressing battery + headphone issues some users (not me) have & most importantly updating the Hero to 1.6 to address some of the lag in the phone in the next few weeks I’ll be swapping it out before my 30 day trial is up for a Droid for sure!

This image doesn’t exist on your server. Incidentally, you should probably change directroy permissions. I was able to browse the directory /wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ with no problems. There is no image called droid-november-6.jpg in that directory.

Seeing as it has been shown in pictures with having Android 2.0 (in leaked images), I would imagine that it will not have 1.6 on it. Considering that Verizon and Google made a big deal together, I would expect that they got an early copy of 2.0

I don’t know if they will announce more info or if they will be fore sale on Oct 30th, but that seems to be the date for what the countdown clock translates into. (Although I understand that it might be right around midnight, so it might actually be Nov 1, I have seen both translations).

@vincent
Don’t know how reliable that pdab site is.. according to that site, the Lancaster is coming in November… I suppose that could still happen.. but I think we might have heard some whispers somewhere.

Rob, please offload your images to S3–your server(s) simply cannot handle the load.
