We'd already
heard through the grapevine that select Verizon Wireless stores would be cracking their doors open early to deal with the presumed flood of
consumers "
Humans" eager to snap up the first-ever Android 2.0 device, and now the carrier has come right out with the official details. We're told that "many" of its over 2,000 retail locations will open at either 7AM or 8AM local time to field orders for the
DROID, though VZW mall stores will all open at their regular time. You should check with your local store to see exactly when they'll open, and while we can't guarantee it, we'd guess that having an Android-related
tattoo on your person is a good way to get VIP treatment once you arrive on scene. Or, you know, you could just get your
Best Buy pre-order in now and save $100 up front by dodging the mail-in rebate.

Ok, seriously NO ONE is going to be lining up for this device!!! VZW is hyping this up WAAAAY too much.

Not true, I pre-ordered mine at Best Buy last week :-)

and because nobody comes to the "mobile" section anymore.

Actually - I could have posted this as confirmed a few days back. Their onsite store times have reflected 7am openings for about a week. With a statement of "special event store times" or something like that...
I work nights - so hopefully will just be a stop of on my way home to get myself a Droid. yay.

I'm excited for this OS, but not the hardware.
Put Android 2.0 on a Touch Pro 2 and you have my attention.

...the hardware is very similar, except the keyboard is way better, and you loose the 5mp cam for a 3.2mp.
