Before I share a link over to BGR to see what he’s got to say about the Motorola Droid, let me throw out some breaking news that I caught over at Mobile Crunch just before posting this. Looks like Verizon might not be the only carrier getting this puppy. The frequencies needed to operate on AT&T’s network are present on the Droid as it passes through the FCC website. So, maybe this phone that Verizon is using to attack the iPhone, will come be the iPhone’s brother. What will they call it though, they can’t call it “Droid” since Verizon is rumored to have leased the rights of that name from George Lucas.

On to the show, BGR posted a pretty good preview of the phone with a nice selection of photos today…

You know how we roll at BGR, we don’t hold anything back — if it’s hot, it’s hot. If it’s not, it’s not, and we’re not afraid to call it like it is. The Motorola CLIQ was a pretty big disappointment for me personally, but oh man does the Droid make up for it. Sure, there’s a little hype sprinkled in because this is the first Android 2.0 device I’ve had the pleasure of using, but once you move past the initial “wow” factor, the Droid really delivers. Whether it’s Verizon’s ad campaign or Motorola’s that pits the Droid against the iPhone it doesn’t matter. The Droid isn’t an iPhone competitor because nothing at this point in time is an iPhone competitor besides the new iPhone. And things don’t have to be right now. Everyone can eat. So will the Motorola Droid be successful? Absolutely, we think. It will eat in to BlackBerry sales, Windows Mobile sales, and positively murder any lingering Palm Pre sales. It’s that good. Did you notice how Verizon still hasn’t announced the BlackBerry Storm2?

Looks good to me. I will have to give this one a good look soon. Head over to BGR for the complete deal.
