 We've got fresh news today on the Verizon/Motorola Droid front. Verizon Wireless's first (and highly-awaited) Android phone is now tipped to do ... something ... November 9, according to a small postcard I got in the mail from Verizon's PR agency today (shown at left.)
Combine that with the coded countdown on Verizon's official Droid site, which now counts down to October 28 instead of the original October 30, and we have what look like announcement and sale dates for the first Android 2.0 phone. October 28 and November 9. Keep them in mind.
The "Droid" will be Verizon Wireless's first Google Android-powered phone, built by Motorola. Two weeks ago, Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam promised the first of several Android phone launches "in a few weeks" and followed up with an official press photo of himself and Google CEO Eric Schmidt wielding two Verizon Android phones, one assumed to be the Motorola device and the other looking like a variant of Sprint's HTC Hero.
No other phones so far have run version 2.0 of the Android OS, codenamed "Eclair," though the appearance of a giant inflatable pastry on the Google campus last week foreshadowed its coming.

Couldn't 11/09 mean 11/(20)09? I mean, the tv ad already says it's coming in November. Just a thought.

You do realize the 09 refers to the year, not the day...if you google it, you should be able to find the date November 6th.
October 21, 2009 4:07 PM
Yea, I believe the 09 is referring to the year and not November 9th.

At least they are doing better at getting release dates versus the Samsung Omnia 2. That sucker is NEVER going to come out.
October 21, 2009 5:34 PM
why does everyone thing that means the 9th, if it said 11.9 ya mabe.. 11.09 for a reason.. fucking christ.
October 21, 2009 5:54 PM
fucking christ!

Anybody else want to state the whole reference to the year as opposed to day cause I don't think it was clear enough by being stated 4 times.

@ Donovan
LMAO!! You said it perfectly.

Touche' Jake. Anyone else want to state the obvious AGAIN?

I think the November 09 refers to November 2009, not November 9th.
October 22, 2009 2:29 AM
So.... it doesn't have a release date of november 9th.. ? please someone clarify . . . . . . . . . . . .

I'm pretty sure it means September, 2011. I decoded the Droid page myself.

I think you are all a bunch of retards that don't have any common sense!! You spend more than half the posts arguing over the stupid date rather than what the post is supposed to be actually about - the phone!. Anyone with half a brain (it's obviously ONLY me) would clearly see that the date means November 2009. Now wake the hell up and start talking about the phone and quit acting like a bunch of frigging treadheads!!
