Motorola Droid A855 (aka Tao/Sholes/Shules/Flash) Pre-Release Thread
Phone Collector
i'm assuming you would not have to change your plan and accept the 29.99 data plan because of VZW's change in policy that any smart phone (winmo, BB, linux) added to their line up after a certain date in 2007 (i believe), i can't remember the exact date, must be accompanied with with a data plan.
I've got more phones than fingers

My antenna is smaller than yours
You guys would need to change. It's not so much a matter of being required to change your plan with an upgrade, it would need to change if you ever try to activate. This phone will absolutely require a NW plan; even the LG vx8360 requires a NW to activate. Being purchased at full-retail won't matter at all. I would also bet we're going to be looking at the $30-data plan. This is a smartphone, 3rd party apps, no reason to think it would be treated any differently than the other advanced devices.
Has there been any info regarding the build quality?
Hi-Keeba!!!
Phone Collector
Saw a relative today who works for Moto (has been working on several other phones). He stated this phone has been pushed back in production.

i know that this thread is not about the CLIQ, but what the people who have tested it and played with it have been saying that it has quite a good build quality. the white one seems toyish, but they have a decent weight and feels good in the hands. so my guess would be that they will be just as good if not better than the CLIQ. although, moto has always had great build quality. haha
and thanks for the information regarding the upgrade to this phone servo.

Saw both colors today. Had the black one in my hand. I didn't care for the look of the white one. It's nice and light. I didn't play with it much as it was for a different carrier. I am getting the TP2. Keyboard.

Well lets hope all the past OCT. dates are right ( http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/motorola+sholes/ ) I will take the Shules with 1.5 now and upgrade later....pleaseee moto/vzw
Radiation is good
Well one of the guys off that article said the official launch name was "Tao" and it is on tract for a mid October launch. Guess we'll have to wait and see though.
Phone Collector
the article said they were still firmly in "realm of rumors." i don't want it to be december, but i highly doubt the oct. release now. let's negotiate and say mid november.

Phone Collector

it also says thanksgiving release

Yeah the November release doesn't surprise me. It seems like every hightly anticipated phone is coming out in October, (with the exception of the TP2) so I was wondering what are they going to release for the Holidays? Nothing? The only phone I know of that didn't have a October release was the Omnia II. I doubt they will just release one smartphone for the Holidays.

Ok, Mid November sounds good ..the article said they were still firmly in "realm of rumors." i don't want it to be december, but i highly doubt the oct. release now. let's negotiate and say mid november.haha
I just got the TP2..Can't stand windows mobile..fixing to switch back the Curve..I just want a good OS. I wont be Happy until I get Android or WebOS
Phone Collector
^^^ yeah i'm getting tired of the archaic winmo UI and i just got the q9m at the start of summer. i think i will get the Storm 2 if i can't wait any longer and sell it, but i might just reactivate my v9m and use that until the Sholes drops as it will be cheaper not to have the data plan for the few months.
the palm pre isn't gonna release until after the holidays. so you'd be waiting longer than the sholes if you wanted webOS. lol
Radiation is good
Ditto. I was going to order it on Friday but figured I'd wait a month to see what happens.Ok, Mid November sounds good ..
