It has been confirmed by Verizon that their new Droid phone, the device in the iPhone attack ads, will be available on November 6th for a price of $199 with a 2 year contract and $100 mail in rebate. The hardware, which has been created by Motorola, will be the first phone on the market to run Google’s Android 2.0 and will feature turn by turn navigation via Google Maps for free. However, that’s not where the benefits over the iPhone stop.

Droid, a new phone emerging in the mobile marketplace through a cooperative effort with Verizon and Motorola, is turning out to cause quite a ruckus as the first true iPhone competitor. At least that’s what the companies are trying to get at through their clever new commercial that flat out attacks the weak points of Apple’s iPhone. The ad, which is 30 seconds in length, starts off with an Apple-esque song and black text that drops down on a white background reading “iDon’t run widgets,” “iDon’t allow open development,” and “iDon’t have a real keyboard,” and such.
