Verizon Motorola Droid Rumors Pour In Motorola Droid to Control Times Square Billboards; HTC Droid Eris to Cost $99.99 on Contract

We had no idea that the Droid will be as hot as it proved to be. Looking
back I will admit that I thought the Sholes, Motorola s chosen name for
the phone that became the Droid, to be an average phone as it is only
the second Android phone the company has produced.

But during the last weeks we ve been able to realize what the Droid
really has to offer. And despite the fact that Verizon has already
launched the device, and with it a whole Droid line, we keep hearing
rumors about it.

The latest rumors say that Verizon has a very bold campaign for the
Droid. The company will apparently let users play with some of the
largest billboards available in Times Square. We have no details about
the whole thing but the campaign is called �DROID Does Times Square �.
Users will be able to control the biggest digital billboards available
with voice only commands. If you re living in New York City and plan on
getting a Motorola Droid from Verizon then you should definitely try
this for yourself whenever it s possible. The billboards in question are
the NASDAQ and the Reuters signs so you ll should have a lot of fun
playing with them. There s no telling yet what you can do but Verizon
will definitely try to suggest that anything can be done with a Droid
smartphone running Android OS.
And since we did mention a Droid line we have a piece of hot news for
those of you getting an HTC Droid Eris starting with November 6. The
price of the handset has been leaked apparently and you ll be able to
get it for $99.99 provided that you get a new 2-year Verizon contract.
That s great news too for those of you that still want a HTC Hero from
Sprint. The Hero is available for $179.99 on contract but Sprint might
want to rethink that price now that the Droid and the Droid Eris are in
town.

In case I didn t get a chance to ask, I ll do it now, what will it be?
HTC Droid Eris or Motorola Droid?
