We’re all waiting on the announcement of the Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid which goes without saying, it will be a CDMA handset.

Want to know why Verizon is pushing the Motorola Droid so hard while it lets the HTC Droid Eris, which could launch between November 6th and 10th, linger in the middle of no man’s land? Because specs on the Droid blow away the Droid Eris. According to a BGR whisper the rumored HTC Droid Eris [...]
