What’s next for some of the biggest gadgets of 2009?
CrunchGear —
... While I’m not as high on the Droid as others at CG/TC/MC, I’m actually quite interested in what Droid means for Android.

Verizon to sell the Droid to New Yorkers extra, extra early
CrunchGear —
... , and read the coverage, and you just know: you want your Droid. You already know that most Verizon Stores are opening the doors a bit early at 7 AM to get your your fix - but what if you want it even earlier?
We just got word that a very, very limited number of Verizon stores will start peddling the Droid as soon as the clock ticks over to November 6th, from midnight to 2 a.m. The emphasis here is definitely on "limited".

AppleInsider —
... shown are deceiving for viewers. Reviewers like the Droid, saying it's a good handset and likely the best smartphone Verizon has to offer.

iPhone J.D. —
... Verizon's new Droid cellphone, made by Motorola, has been getting
very good reviews and, for some people, appears to be a decent
alternative to the iPhone. Here are three quick reports on the Droid
versus the iPhone. First, Greg Kumparak's review for MobileCrunch
is a great read if you are wondering what in Droid is different from
the iPhone. Kimparak concludes, after weighing the pros and cons of
each, that it is difficult to say which is better: "If you want a
phone that just works and does damned near everything you
could want and don’t mind Apple’s closed garden: by all ...

CrunchGear —
... My inbox is in pain. Almost immediately after I hit the publish button on last week’s iPhone 3GS vs Motorola Droid Smartphone Showdown, a torrential blast of comments and questions has been barraging just about every communication inlet I’ve got. Phone calls. Twitter DMs. Lots, and lots, and lots of emails. Across the board, it all seems to indicate one thing: people want more. We hear you. There are a number of worthwhile topics I simply didn’t get a chance to touch on, and a few observations I’ve made since that are worth mentioning. For those, may we ...

PMP Today —
... narrow enough to my liking. The iPhone has always been too wide for time. Another important factor to consider is pricing, not just the MSRP of every unit, but the amount you’ll spend to enjoy your smartphone on their respective networks. Here’s PC World on Droid fees on the Verizon network: $30 for tethering on an ulimited plan (limited to 5GB) or $60 for 10GB; Microsoft Exchange has a separate $45 a month for 5GB; and cacellation is $350.
