No, thanks, I would stick with the verizon iPhone, and now read the news that the iPhone 5 is rumored to be releasing around June 2011.

However, how soon will they have the iPhone 5?

I would never pledge myself to a carrier either, I don’t actually have Verizon but I find a few of the articles here interesting.

I have a D1 with a GameGripper, and it’s buttons are just not the same as my PSP for emulation. This phone would be totally perfect IF it comes to Verizon I know how my upgrade will be spent.

Would this be the first Sony smartphone to come to Verizon?

This is an interesting device. Not sure it beats the 4Gs or dual cores, but certainly interesting as a gaming device/smartphone/do everything device.

I just find it weird to pledge oneself to a carrier. Pledging to the Android platform is cool, but to a carrier? They’re all faceless, impersonal corporations who runs on consumer-leeched money.

Besides, what’s in a name? The only thing that you could associate the Droid Incredible with the Droid family is the word Droid in it’s name. If it didn’t have Droid in the name, you would think it’s like any other HTC phone from Verizon, Sprint or wherever.

You got plenty of Nexus and Evo owners visiting this site to justify it just being a Droid (or more generally, Android) site. No need to alienate those readers something as trivial as covering phones from only a certain carrier.

Let’s all rejoice in the Android platform instead, and not in Big Red (with their recent policy changes, they aren’t looking too friendly)!

Just my two cents.

Considering that Verizon has licensed the usage of Droid as a brand name from Lucas films (and as such, no other carrier will carry a “Droid” phone), the blog is named appropriately.

Lol, droid-life sounds better but this site does cover all android phones on Verizon’s network including non-droids.

Whose to say the Thunderbolt wont be a droid phone? I remember the Incredible wasn’t branded droid at first, all of the tested and reviews box just said HTC Incredible, not until launch did we know about it being called the Droid Incredible.

If you are correct, then Kellex should indeed change the web site to Verizon-life or VZW-life.
