Motorola Droid A855 (aka Tao/Sholes/Shules/Flash) Pre-Release Thread
I've climbed a cellphone tower
Well if you do don't forget to take some vids. I'm sure you can sneak some with the v9m
I've got more phones than fingers
^^^Sure if I used my v9m anymore I guess. On to bigger and better things since that device.....lol. Only on the rare rare occasion do I activate a dumbphone anymore, and even then I prefer the Krave over the v9m just do to it having a keyboard if i need it.
My antenna is smaller than yours
I hate being excited for September 10th when I'm bummed as it is knowing college starts up next week.

unfortunately, it has already started for me. i just want this phone and i'm on here everyday scooping for more info, haha. i'm tired of my v9m, which has been replaced 3 times. i recently got a q9m (updated to q9c) and it's a good phone, but data rarely, if ever, works where i am due to alltel tower transitioning and the unbranded firmware.Originally Posted by vaxick
i want a stylish phone i can customize to fit me and just works (data/gps). i'm restlessly waiting for the release as i'm sure you all are.

This phone is incredible
Hush hush everyone.. Launch is expected October 28th, 2009 for Verizon Wireless. I had a chance to play with the Motorola Sholes last night when I saw my ex-coworker for Verizon Wireless. The phone has pretty good build quality. It multi tasks excellent like the myTouch 3G but on a better network. I know that I will have to purchase this phone. I have been waiting so long for a Verizon Android unit. Also I had a chance to play with the new LG Chocolate Touch in black... Sooo shiny but picks them fingerprints up like crazy. Thumbs up for the 3 Android phones coming out 4th quarter 09. Wait until everyone sees the Samsung. *hint hint*

Thanks darkyabyss66.
i'm happy to hear the news on the release date and more info about the device.
on another note i thought there were only going to be 2 android phones in Q4? what is the 3rd one? the samsung you're hinting at or is the sammy hint hint the Omnia II?
the only interesting ones i know about are the Sholes, Calgary, Pre, the weird Nokia and the Omnia II.

I was excited about the September 10th event as well until I read this:
Motorola Only Announcing Morrison September 10th?

Maybe it isn't true or maybe we will get more Sholes info another way, one can only hope.
Radiation is good
Same here. I'm almost counting the days until I can pick this phone up. As good of a phone my V9M is, I can't stand the lack of a QWERTY keyboard, or the lack of customization, and no I really shouldn't have to fiddle with SEEM edits to get the customization I want.
Phone Collector
No one should have to, which is why moto fans like to stay with the E815. I'm almost certain this phone or the calgary will be a top seller for verizon and moto who needs it. the only unfortunate part is that customers will be forced to have a data package tacked on since they're both smart phones.
Radiation is good
I don't mind the data package, but I really wish that the data plans (and the texting plans) were a little cheaper. Paying $80-$100 for a phone bill isn't fun, and thankfully I really don't message much.
Phone Collector
^^^^ i don't mind them either, but for the hip "tweenies" to pick up this phone and their parents who more than likely pay the bill will probably not always want a data package. there's school and other things for them to concentrate on.
i'm still on the ACII plan and i use the 1500 messages/mo package. i barely get close, but i always go over 500 so i don't want to be forced into a NW plan just to have an unlimited texting plan when i don't do a whole lot of it anyways.
in any case T-mo sidekick plans are like $60-70 i believe and they are unlimited text/web and 1000 minutes. now that's a decent plan package i'd be happy with, but alas it isn't "the network."

Don't the BBs have a different plan from the PDA/WinMo phones? It might be possible vzw will have different pricing for Android phones.
Also call me old fashion but aren't tweenies like 9-12 or something? They don't need a freaking smart phone. Hell they should be using the basic dumbphones at that age.
Phone Collector
they do. i think the data is $15.99/mo, but i'm not positive. they could also do that for android, however, i doubt it.
i was also referring to the ages 12-18. teens i guess i should've been a little more general.
i've always had to pay for my own bills though. even when i started driving at 16. my sister gets the lucky break of being under the rents plan. oh well.

18 I can see becasue of College by 12! What the hell are they going to do on a smart phone they cannot do on a dumbphone. Then again kids seem to be doing everything younger now. Was at work and some 8 year old was telling his Dad to shut the **** up and how he was going to cut his balls off while he slept. All in good fun I guess but what in the world was with the language.
Kids these days
Phone Collector
this device as intended with Eclaire is a gaming machine so why wouldn't the 12 year olds want it? the article here http://y8s.sl.pt even mentions the sholes to have a better processor than the PSP. haha.
also along with what you stated. children are doing everything younger now.
