Motorola Droid nearing End of Life


While we are busy celebrating the release of the new Motorola Droid X, we have a bit of information that hit us completely by surprise. Today we were tipped off with some rather unfortunate news that the Motorola Droid and Motorola Devour have appeared on the End of Life life device list at Verizon. This comes just days after we got a glimpse of Verizon's new summer catalog with pictures of the Motorola Droid 2 on the front cover. Could Verizon be depleting all of the Droid stock for a Droid 2 back to school release in early August? Let us know your thoughts.

Currently Verizon is offering the Motorola Droid at $149, buy one get one free. If you're on the fence about getting one, now might be the last chance before the new and improved Droid 2 replaces it!

Thanks Miami!

makes sense to clear out the original model for the Droid 2, which is in essence just a fixed-up (and locked-down) version anyway

Not a shocker but that doesn't mean the Droid's life is over. For all intents and purposes the Droid and Nexus One are still the premier Android handsets due the dev community behind them. Until another handset from whatever manufacturer gets the support of either of these they will both reign supreme.

Wow, but that is because the Droid 2 is probably replacing it. And those wanting Droid will be able to get them still via ebay

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/res...new-froyo.html

help us help you:
if you need to know the basics of rooting, including how to install a rom via sprecovery and clockwork recovery, see here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/res...t-rooting.html
droid sbf files:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hac...ot-unroot.html

when you ask a question state the following:
1) how much battery life and when was the last time you charged it.
2) are yo running sprecovery or clockwork/rom manager
3) If you followed a guide what step did you get hung up on.

Following these steps will save both of us time, and save us from asking you those questions.
