    This does make a lot of sense. The other day I asked my friend that works for Verizon if he was going to get a Droid and he said, "Which one?, and then kind of acted like he said something he shouldn't have. All makes sense now. #verizonhtcdroiddesire

    Makes perfect sense. Why is it a surprise at all. It exactly like what t-mobile did just it makes more sense the way they did it. They called it a "google" phone. G1 myTouch (what ever they come out with next) are the google phone for the majority of people. For VZW to take it and make a brand of their own makes perfect sense. If everyone knew it as android then there would be no brand differation. You could get it at t-mobile or VZW. Now people know that you go to t-mobile for google, Vzw for droid. We all know its android but we aren't who either needs to market to. #verizonhtcdroiddesire

    Maybe the other one is actually called the "Droid Sholes"? Everyone has been mixing up those two names the whole time anyway... #verizonhtcdroiddesire

    @Adam: eh, no one is mixing anything up. Every phone any more has a manufacures code name, a carrier code name, and then a real release name. It will just come out as the droid everything else will either be a droid ___ or a droid 2. #verizonhtcdroiddesire

    It makes sense if you're a non-tech Verizon customer. As far as you're concerned, Droid is a Verizon's iPhone. And each version of Droid is like the 3G v 3GS.

    If this is really Verizon's intent, then it's quite a coup on their part. Turning Android into a Verizon brand, and hiding the individual manufacturers. You're not buying an HTC or Motorola Android phone, you're buying a Verizon phone. #verizonhtcdroiddesire

    "Doesn't help that the Droid Desire goes by Eris at times"

    Well, considering Eris is a goddess of chaos and discord, it seems quite appropriate... ;) #verizonhtcdroiddesire

    In addition to wanting to control content on their network, VZW loves to control their marketing. Moto and HTC probably agreed to this scenario within seconds once VZW held open the door. Both could use the boost. #verizonhtcdroiddesire

    Why can't we just call them by their model numbers? I always thought that made more sense with cars (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Infinity etc), whereas naming cars after obscure words or animals didn't make much sense. #verizonhtcdroiddesire

    "Really, this seems like a whole marketing mess. "

    @iElvis: How? Makes perfect sense. The chocolate line covered lots of different phone. The env line did. You take similar phones (in this case android phones) and put them under a brand distinct to your carrier. What gets messed up? #verizonhtcdroiddesire

    Safe bet that the frequent swooning over Elaine will ensure that she will never attend a single Giz meetup.
