DROID Does Times Square

Oct 28 2009, 2:04pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

Verizon Wireless and Motorola made the Droid completely official today as reported earlier. The Droid will go on sale next week for $199.99 with 2-yr contract and after $100 mail-in rebate. To underline how serious Verizon Wireless is taking Droid, BoyGeniusReport has a cool rumor on hand: DROID Does Times Square.

Verizon Wireless is supposedly taking over the billboards on Time Square in New York for the Droid launch. Specifically the NASDAQ and Reuters signs are supposed to be controlled using voice commands.
It is still unclear what people can do, but it could create huge attention for the new Droid phone.

Verizon has sent out the Droid for reviews. Engadget already posted up some official hands-on video and photo galleries.
