Droid to be available November 6th for $199 with contract

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.
