We have only known for a few weeks that the Verizon Motorola Droid was coming, but we did not know the release date of the handset. We can finally tell you that the date looks to be October 30, and the hype surrounding the phone has certainly caused a stir.
The Inquisitr came up with this date by visiting the DroidDoes website, there is code on the site, once decoded the date is October 30. Verizon always seems to be bitter about not getting the iPhone, which has lead them to a number of not so subtle attacks on the Apple iPhone.
One ad was explaining how they have 5 times more coverage than AT&T; the most recent was their Verizon Droid Does Commercial. This ad was a dig at the iPhone, highlighting all the features that are lacking with the smartphone, while saying that the new Verizon/ Motorola Droid will come with all those features.
The Motorola Droid is just the latest handset to claim that it will be an iPhone killer, but for once, it could actually be true. Verizon is the preferred network carrier in the US, but they have never had a good smartphone to offer its customers, the Motorola Droid is a handset that Verizon users have been crying out for. The only one drawback that we can see with this latest Google Android handset is that it will not have the best App Store, which as we know Apple have.

Just so you know, Verizon has and will never be better about getting the iPhone. They had the first offer to get the iPhone and rejected it because it used up to much bandwith on their network and it was to much of a hassle to maintain. I’m tired of reading how Verizon wants the iPhone and is pissed they never got it, when in all actuality they never wanted the dang thing in the first place.
There are rumors going around the date was pushed up to the 28th. The 30th was a bad idea anyhow with halloween and the weekend which would kill the buzz.
Verizon looks like they are doing things right for a change and not focusing on their network all the time.
