But I just got this thing!

The orig­i­nal Motorola Droid, which was launched less than a year ago, I rumored to be near­ing end-of-life sta­tus. For com­put­ers, that wouldn’t be con­sid­ered unusual, but for smart­phones which require multi-year con­tracts it sucks. Sure, you can duck out of your con­tract early and pay an early ter­mi­na­tion fee, but that’s just adding insult to injury.

Of course, I’ve been through this before. My Treo was essen­tially unsup­ported by Palm for most of the time I had it. Ditto for my Motorola Star­Tac. I guess I have to hope the Android devel­oper com­mu­nity doesn’t give up so soon.

One thought on “But I just got this thing!

  1. At the same time as I really like a phys­i­cal key­board, after deal­ing with the Sam­sung Cap­ti­vate for approx­i­mately quarter-hour, it’s labo­ri­ous to move back. At this time I’m debat­ing whether or not to visit Ver­i­zon for the Droid X, go to Sprint for the EVO, or stay with AT&T for the Captivate…selections, decisions.
