Update: Boy Genius Report has just released a Preview Review of the Droid. It answers several of the questions posed below.
I’m salivating over the Droid from Motorola. I simply can’t wait to get my hands on it – and most likely buy it. Boy Genius reported today that Motorola had posted a set of complete specs pages on their site. Of course, that got taken down rather quickly. Estimated release date is currently October 28. The Internet being what it is, someone captured the now-removed Motorola pages and posted them on YouTube.
There seem to be some holes in the specs – for instance, the processor is listed at 550 mHz when rumor had it at 600 mHz. Folks are also wondering about the lack of Google Voice in the Google Mobile Apps section, and there are questions about what Vibracall might be (just regular vibrate?) and how much internal memory (and if it actually comes, in box, with a 16 GB microSD card). There’s a bit of laughter that the color is described as “licorice with brown sugar accents.” Good enough to eat, yes? Finally, there seems to be a bit of disappointment that Verizon opted to make this a CDMA phone with no GSM bands. I agree. It would be nice if it was a world phone.
So it’s not quite everything you wanted to know, but there is certainly a lot of information here. I recommend blowing it up to full-screen to read the tiny print.
