Hasta La Gadget!

Hey everyone, it’s Droid day! We’ve got the new Motorola Android handset in house–which means that Sascha Segan is going to be putting in some late hours tonight, rushing to bring you the most in-depth review of the new phone you’ll be able to find anywhere. In the meantime, he’s sending us dispatches from deep within the PC Labs, just to let us know that he’s still alive.

For starters, check out this slideshow featuring the handset in all its glory, with some bonus shots alongside Android predecessors, the T-Mobile G1 and HTC Hero–oh, and there’s something called an “iPhone,” too. Not sure how that thing got in there. From the looks of it, the Droid is a big phone, but not unwieldy. It’s got a bigger footprint than the iPhone, but it looks a bit smaller and slimmer than the aforementioned Android phones.

Also, be sure to check out this video of the Droid–there’s plenty of pre-review hands-on action, and you get to hear the thing croak its name every time its receives a message. Let’s not forget that this is Terminator of phones, after all.

The phone will launch on November 6th, selling for $199.99 with that obligatory two-year Verizon contract and a $100 mail-in rebate. Check out more info here and stay tuned for the full review at PCMag.
