Motorola and Verizon Wireless have officially announced the Verizon DROID by Motorola, the first Android smartphone for the carrier and what’s promising to be one of the most interesting. The Verizon DROID has a 3.7-inch 854 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard and EVDO Rev.A, and will arrive on shelves on November 6th priced at $199.99 with a new, two-year agreement and following a $100 mail-in rebate.
The Verizon DROID will be the first smartphone to arrive with Android 2.0, the latest version of the open-source OS, with native Exchange support and Google Maps Navigation Beta. The latter is Google’s new turn-by-turn directions app, which offers free verbal directions controlled by voice shortcuts.
There’s also Bluetooth, WiFi and USB 2.0 connectivity, and Verizon are bundling a 16GB microSD card; that’ll be useful to hold OTA Amazon MP3 downloads. The usual bevy of Google apps – including Google Talk, YouTube, Gmail and the Android Market – are also preloaded, and there’s a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and dual-LED flash. We’re catching up with Verizon later on today to grab some hands-on time with the DROID, so keep reading SlashGear for that!
