TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- With the tech blogosphere buzzing about
the new DROID phone from Motorola, Verizon Wireless will open most of its
Florida stores at 7 a.m. Friday (Nov. 6) to give technophiles and (literally)
"early adopters" the first opportunity to purchase the newest smartphone with
Google's Android breakthrough operating system.

Some stores will open at 7 a.m. and others at 8 a.m. Customers should check
local stores for their opening hours. (Mall stores will not open early.)

"There has been great anticipation for the DROID in the tech community because
of its many technological advances, which general consumers will enjoy as
well," said Pam Tope, Florida region president of Verizon Wireless. "The
DROID launch is big news with techies and it also should be the first big
shopping salvo and hot product of the upcoming holiday season."

Customers visiting Verizon Wireless Communications Stores on or after Friday,
Nov. 6, will not only be able to purchase the world's first smartphone with
Android(TM) 2.0, they can also learn about its variety of advanced features
and functions. Verizon Wireless will host demonstrations at select locations
to help customers get the most from their new DROID by Motorola devices.

The DROID will be available in the United States exclusively from Verizon
Wireless for $199.99 with a new two-year customer agreement after a $100
mail-in rebate. Customers will receive the rebate in the form of a debit
card; upon receipt, customers may use the card as cash anywhere debit cards
are accepted.
