Full FeedDon’t wait for Verizon’s Droid: get it now on eBay
Verizon’s running ads everywhere (even on our site) for their first Android phone dubbed Droid (they actually had to license using that name from Lucasfilm, how cool is that?) in anticipation for a launch next month. In today’s have-it-now world, why wait? Gadgetell has your back and can point you to eBay where you circumvent all the hype and just get the biggest phone to hit Verizon in recent memory.
Over on eBay, one can bid on the Droid auction, currently at $899 with one bid. The auction is set to end on October 29 at 15:42 (PDT) and the phone ships from Glendale, CA. Of interest, the phones specs are listed and among them are a surprising 8GB SD card that comes with the phone, nice touch.
It isn’t clear if the auction-er actually has the phone or is going off an expected launch date of October 29th at this point. The ads I’ve seen say November and that correlates to a promotional mailing to press citing 11.09. It seems likely the image was taken from Verizon’s website and the auction says the phone has never been opened. If the phone is available on the 29th, the auction winner will have it more than a week ahead of the general public, is that worth a premium to you? If so, bid it up as it might be a fair bet that a large number of Verizon subscribers will be looking for this phone.
Questions to the Ebayer were not immediately answered.

i wouldnt recommend bidding on that
Also how can it be unopened and never used if the only picture is one of the phone, outside the box, and turned on?
