Motorolla Droid Coming Soon

Here is a look at some info I found about the new Motorola Droid coming soon to Verizon:

Youtube video from verizon:
Just saw this video of the new Motorola Droid coming November 6th to Verizon Wireless. 

Engadget page on the Droid:
Tons of hands on information as well as video and photos about this new phone.

From what I can tell so far here are some of the high points:
- 5 Megapixel camera with dual LED flash
- Touchscreen with onscreen keyboard AND full qwerty slide out keyboard
- Runs the Google powered Android operating system which is constantly being improved because it is open source. This phone has the newest 2.0 version of the OS
- Tons of apps from the Android marketplace.
- Wi-fi enabled for web browsing
- 3G web browsing on Verizon's network which if their commercials can be believed is a much larger 3G coverage area than AT&T
- Web browser that looks to be pretty speedy and full featured.
- Much more features check out the sites listed above 

Having not personally played with this device this is all second hand info but from what I can tell this looks to be a pretty sweet phone and I look forward to checking it out in stores when it arrives. I expect this will require a data plan to be used even though it has wi-fi. So expect to pay an extra $30 per month or so for data assuming they deem this a smart-phone device which I expect they will. I am excited and so far I am buying the hype from Verizon and I would love to have a Droid of my very own.
