Verizon really wants people to know that it is getting the Motorola Droid phone

I like when a cellular carrier releases ads featuring the one phone that all of its hopes are riding on. Verizon hasn’t had the “it” phone for awhile. Last year it had the Blackberry Storm, but it really didn’t turn out the way everyone was hoping it would. This time around, ads have been spotted all across the airwaves about the “anti-iPhone” Motorola Droid.

This is what the ads say:

— “iDon’t have interchangeable batteries.”

— “iDon’t allow open development.”

— “iDon’t have a real keyboard.”

— “iDon’t take pictures in the dark.”

It finishes with the tagline, “Everything I don’t, Droid does.”

So, what is the Motorola Droid? It is a cell phone/smart phone that runs Google’s Android operating system. It features a touchscreen and a full qwerty keyboard. The Droid is the smartest Android phone out there and is as thin as the iPhone.

The Droid actually has a chance at success on Big Red because Android is an operating system that has had the time to get the bugs out, or at least most of the bugs out.

Another thing that this phone has going for it is the fact that it feels sturdy. From what I’ve read on websites like BoyGeniusReport and Engadget Mobile, this phone doesn’t feel plastic-y like the T-Mobile G1. I have no idea how it would compare against the HTC Hero that Sprint is carrying or the MyTouch3G that T-Mobile is now offering, but neither of those phones offer a full qwerty slide out keyboard.

I would really like to see this phone in action. It should be hitting stores in the next month or so. That means you may catch me in a Verizon store checking this phone out.
