Motorola Droid nearing End of Life

It's a collectors item

CK this might be difficult to part with this one, I could see regretting it soon after

I see the whole locked down way of thinking to be how they figured out how to make a buck off the tethering and stop people from doing it for free on the new phones.....except it is moto that is locking it down, not Verizon. Any word on a Nexus 2? Especially in light of the fact that moto has said that if you want a phone where you can mess with the system, and not just apps, to buy a Nexus. That statement is enough to make me pretty sure the Droid 2 will be just as locked down as the Droid X.

I fully expect my droid, that I got last November, to still be functioning this time next year. My guess is it won't just up and die. It will either become retired one day, or I'll do something stupid and kill it by accident.

Yeah, no way it will just die...I am hoping to get bits and peices of GB since I am pretty sure the Droid will not be getting the official OTA of 3.0 still there is plenty of life in my Original Droid (OD) and no way I am giving up on it

It should hold it's value on ebay/graigslist etc etc.....

It's a definite selling point.

Here is a selling point, MotoDroid Classic Rooted with all available custom ROMs preinstalled via ClockWork Recovery just boot into recovery and choose your poison

Droid is not going anywhere, regardless what i buy next.

I agree...I'm seriously reconsidering what to do here.

There's chatter that this eFuse is a load of poop. I've heard it's just a signed boot chain and kernel/recovery (what the milestone has)

My Droid is 30 days old. I'm still learning how to use it and add stuff to it.
This forum is great for learning about my phone. I learn something new about it everday.

I really like the google voice thing to search for stuff. Works everytime! Well… one time I was showing a friend how the voice search works and he asked me to search for Art Rooney Drive (Pittsburg Steelers) and the msg came back, “are you retarded?” and Google maps came up and showed me to the closest Mental Hospital……..we both fell over laughing…….

those who no longer want their droid, hit me up. I will take them off your hands.

I have a bad feeling that this news may signal the end of expectations of getting 2.2 into Motorola droid.

I have 16 months left on my contract and won't upgrade this phone till I'm certain there is a rootable replacement with a strong dev community behind it. I don't own, nor will I ever get insurance...I take care of my phones and they take care of me. I just don't see the issue (for me personally) as eventually the community will move on to other devices and I will folllow gracefully and fashionably late as my droid has the potential to keep me happy for a LONG time (at least in the phone worlds space time continuum.

I have insurance on my Droid. What will happen if I break or lose my phone? Will they send me a Droid 2 or will I get a replacement Droid.

i almost had to do a claim cause something was wrong with my phone, the Assurian people are currently replacing it with the HtC Incredible, or something along those lines right now.
