Droid going "end of life" at Best Buy...

Droid 2 D: **** man ****, I might have to pay $1000 to buy it since I have 2 years until upgrade

Worst case? Best Buy won't carry a phone I don't need to buy there because I own it anyways. Best case? They stop making them globally and my phone goes into an endless reboot so it gets replaced with a D2 because there aren't enough D's to go around

I bought my phone in November. I'm not eligible for another discounted one until 2011. At some point between now and then something will come along that is better. At some point we'll get our "last" update. Meanwhile, if you root, I'm pretty sure the Droid can run anything that's on any other Android phone. I'm also fairly confident it will be running something we haven't seen yet too.

Another way of looking at it:
I've had the phone almost 4 months, a quarter year. My phone is 1/8th of the way through it's life cycle. In human years it already is 10, by mid-summer it will be 20. By Christmas it will be 40 and going through its midlife crisis. Too early to stress out as this thing is still running around the playground capable of taking on the world.

OKay... How many of you out there believe we're heading towards a Cell Phone Armagedden??? As I see it, there's only one reasonable thing to do. Dump the Droid and move to a pre-paid throw away cell phone. It's the only way Big Brother can track what you're doing with it!!!
As for me I think I'll keep the Droid if for no other reason, I love screwing with Big Brother's head!!!

Hearing all this talk about "Best Buy" and their inventory of stuff, I'm still looking for a nice quality, brown leather side load clip holder for my Droid. Well, I get to the "Best Buy" and nothing, just freaking nothing for the Droid but black cases and not very nice ones at that. The VZW brand holder I got from the VZW kiosk is tons nicer but not brown.

Anyhow, their selection wasn't good enough to suck. Even with iPhone stuff, nothing of note in the case department. So, don't anyone rush to "Best Buy" if you are looking for a case. And, if you are looking for a genuine good buy on electronics, newegg has awesome prices, usually free shipping and no sales tax - can't beat it.

yeah, no great selection of cases for droid at BB. given the popularity, you'd think there would be more. but i've seen a $99 leather case for an iphone though. (overkill) The only way i'd pay 99 bucks for a case is if they guaranteed, with a $700 warranty, the phone wouldn't scratch, crack, etc from a 6ft drop

it's the end of the Droid as we know it, and I feel fine. (ok sorry about that last part).

I SAW THAT!!!!!!!!!
