tacohunter52 on October 28, 2009 08:51AM The commercial for it was great. I don't think I'll be switching from my Iphone anytime soon though. :( reply to this

d3bruts1d on October 28, 2009 10:55AM Droid looks slick. I'd be tempted to get one, but I've gotta be honest... I love my iPhone. Hopefully, the Droid will push Apple to do more with the 4.0 iPhone OS. reply to this

CheeseMan42 on October 28, 2009 05:20PM I'm really liking what I see with the Droid. Unlike you gents, I don't have a fancy iPhone. The transition from my Razr should be a great one. And even better, I'll be able to switch to Verizon from AT&T. reply to this

MrAlex on October 29, 2009 12:51AM Will this be available for Europe? reply to this

CheeseMan42 on October 29, 2009 01:00PM I haven't read anything about networks outside the US, but I believe the phone is also known as the Sholes if that helps your search. reply to this

MrAlex on October 30, 2009 02:47AM I google'd it and there is a GSM version, although I wonder what the price tag will be and when it will be available. reply to this
