[Hidden-tech] moto droid phone, something similar on at&T?

[Joseph Steig]

Matt,

No Android yet on AT&T and I wouldn't expect the DROID there anytime soon.

You might want to read Walt Mossberg's review of the device in the WSJ
(doesn't require a subscription for his articles). Somewhat more sober than
the slobbering fanboy response to this device from places like
BoyGeniusReport and Gizmodo.

I love my BlackBerry but it has real limitations, especially if you're not
on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. I've got more thoughts about this on my
blog at http://2muchtech.blogspot.com/

Joseph
