Verizon Finally Getting Android

It looks like Verizon is finally getting in on the Android craze, leaving AT&T to be the only carrier without an Android device for sale.  The Motorola Sholes (or Tao, or Droid) looks like a great Android device, and is one of the few Android handsets with a physical QWERTY keyboard.  The phone has a 3.7 inch touchscreen with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a sliding QWERTY keyboard, and comes with an 8 GB micro SD card installed.  So far it looks as though Verizon will leave Android untouched, and the phone may not even include Motorola’s new Android skin, titled BLUR.  According to the Boy Genius Report, the handset is slated to launch before the holidays, possibly on October 30th.  I think the phone looks like a great device, and I would love to get my hands on one to try it out.  I think Android looks like a great mobile OS, and will continue to improve.  All will be revealed at the end of October, I suppose.
