Verizon is working with Motorola and Google and will soon be rolling out the biggest challenge to iPhone dominance yet - or so say the tech pundits. This will be the Verizon Droid advertised to arrive in November.

Verizon and Motorola finally lifted the curtain on their new Droid Android phone yesterday. Make no mistake, this is Androids flagship product, and the first phone that will pose a significant threat to Apples iPhone. And it will be available very soon, possibly as early as the end of this month.
The phone is a three-way effort between Motorola, Verizon and Google. It looks a lot like the iPhone, and may even be as thin or thinner than the iPhone 3GS. It also has two key advantages over the iPhone a slide out physical keyboard, and use of the Verizon network.
Unlike previous Android phones, the Droid is rumored to be powered by the TI OMAP3430, the same core that the iPhone and Palm Pre use, and which significantly outperforms Qualcomm 528MHz ARM11 based Android phones that exist today.
Droid will also be running v.2.0 of Android, with a significantly upgraded user interface.
