Gadgets a-plenty

Waiting for a new (computer/electronic) product to be released is painful. I’m looking at you, NI Adam. I’m even more looking at the next set of Verizon/Motorola Droids. I came close to picking up a Droid X (despite the gargantuan form factor), but perhaps largely due to Verizon’s absurd tactics with their contracts/phone upgrades (they didn’t want more money from me), I’ve continued to hold out. Now I’ve been looking at the Droid Pro and Droid 2 Global (both global phones) and I’m pretty sure it’ll be the Droid 2 Global (the Pro is like a BlackBerry, which is apparently awesome, but the 2 has the larger screen (with slideout keyboard) which I’m pretty sure I’ll appreciate. I’ll be able to unlock it and use overseas, with local SIM cards (yay!). Anyway, launch for those two (Pro and 2 Global) looks to be November 11th, which apparently too far out for me to expect the internet to furnish me side-by-side comparisons of dimensions and internal specs. But I keep looking.
