Rob,

Been playing around with the Android 2.0 SDK, I noticed it supports mutiple Exchange accounts. Can you please confirm the Motorola Droid also supports mutiple Exchange accounts?

Thanks.

@steve:

Last I checked, every Android handset can do that…simultaneous ringtone & vibrate functions. Its in the OS.

Dear phandroid. Can you please change the drap gray wallpaper to something more eye appealing and post some new pics. If I have to see the fake stone or leather or whatever background i might have to throw up. Something nice and colorful like the htc eris wallpaper.

good on ya.

PLEASE comment on how loud the speaker gets and how the vibrate function is. Can it ring and vibrate at the same time (silly I know, but my curve 8330 can’t w/o an app). Can you vary the strength of the vibrate (soft,crazy), etc. thanks!

Ok, I just got the spec from Motorola. There is only 256Mb available for apps. See https://developer.motorola.com/products/handsets/droid/

@William – I’m in San Antonio so its a bigger market here and the Rep I spoke with says there going to be getting 6-9 Droids and advised me they got 9 Storms in earlier, so hopefully this is the case for the droid, if not I’ll be droidless.

@William

The 16GB storage is on a “pre-installed” microSDHC card. By saying it’s expandable to 32GB just means that you can replace the 16GB card with a 32GB card. The problem is of course, that 32GB microSDHC cards do not exist for sale (yet).

It is likely that there is 512MB of “internal” storage for the operating system and installed apps. The removable 16GB card will store your music, videos, recorded videos, pictures, podcasts etc.

Note: SDHC is different than microSDHC. This device takes microSDHC. Hence, 16GB is the max possible storage at this point.

I just called my local store. The woman that answered said they haven’t heard anything nor do they have any at this time. She said I should just come into the store on the 6th, but can call back a few days before to see if that has changed. Hopefully I can at least get my name on a box.

Just came across the following quote on droiddoes.com: “Store all your tunes with built-in 16GB of memory expandable to 32GBs.” (see “Tunes” on the circle thingy) Can anyone confirm this? This is the only, repeat, only, official comment I have seen anywhere, from Verizon, Motorola, and all the sites claiming to actually have a unit, that gives an internal memory size. Please, for the love of whatever god you pray to, can someone confirm or deny this?

@AceDroid: You do realize your store will probably be getting two units on launch day, right?

@hudman

Good tip. I just called my local store and while they aren’t pre-ordering them, they will set them aside. I’m guessing there is the incentive of a nice commission on their part.

I would suggest that if you want to make sure you get one you should make a similar call.
