Droid Opening Weekend: 100,000 Sold
Not a bad opening weekend for Droid, with estimates that Verizon and Moto pushed out 100,000 of 'em. To compare, that's about how many Pres were sold on opening weekend, give or take. [Bloomberg] -

HTC Touch HD2 Review: A Tragedy
Let's just get this out of the way: in terms of hardware, the Touch HD2 is the nicest phone in the world. It's ostentatiously huge and amazingly slim; it's business-savvy and utterly pornographic. But hardware like this deserves better software. More » -

David Pogue: "Smartphone Is Too Limited...It's An App Phone"

Droid Does Tethering (Or Will, Anyway)
Verizon says a tethering plan's coming for Droid sometime next year. Since it uses all of Verizon's standard data rates, that should be an extra $15/month with Verizon's Broadband Access Connect plan—not too bad, actually. [Gearlog] -

Atheros Wireless N for Smartphones Actually Uses Less Power Than Slowass G
Wireless N in cellphones, it's happening next year: Atheros's AR6003 802.11n/Bluetooth chip for cellphones is tiny, has serious range and uses less power than their current wireless G chip, which is in the Zune HD. It'll hit phones around the second half of next year. Such a long wait. [PC Mag] -
