Motorola Droid Ad Hits Phandroid.com!
Try as we may, we could not force Google to spit out the advertisement which confirms the Motorola Droid will begin selling November 6th. But there is a consolation prize: I load up Phandroid a couple seconds ago and who is advertising? None other than Verizon Wireless with an animated flash/video spot for the “Droid Does” campaign:
I thought that was a nice little symbolic turning point to convert our Motorola Sholes Guide and Motorola Sholes Forum to the Motorola Droid Guide and Motorola Droid Forum. As you can see the former now 301 redirect to the latter. If you were wondering where the Sholes stuff went… now you know.
This makes me a TAD bit nervous because deep down I feel like perhaps this is a hasty decision. Probably not… but maybe. There has been a lot of evidence suggesting the Sholes will be called the Motorola Droid but one possibility has me on edge. What if Verizon Wireless also plans on launching their “Hero” and maybe another Android device and is using the “Droid Does” campaign as a general marketing campaign for all their android handsets?
Time will tell… and considering I will 100% be buying the Motorola Droid, time cannot tell fast enough. And by the way, big thanks to Verizon Wireless and Motorola for seeing the value in advertising on Phandroid – enjoy the gazillions of visitors we’ll inevitably be sending you.
Have you seen the ad on Phandroid? Do you like it? I think they did a brilliant job of capturing the feeling/essence of their commercial and stuffing it into a 728×90 banner – how about you? Don’t forget… if the comments aren’t enough discussion to suit your style you can talk to thousands of Android enthusiasts in the Motorola Droid Forum!
