How would you like to own a piece of smartphone history? On eBay (via DroidLife), a rare Motorola DROID prototype is available with bidding continuing until Wednesday, April 17th at 4:05 PM. What makes this prototype so historic is that the Motorola DROID became the first real iPhone killer and was Verizon’s first big smartphone superstar a year after the BlackBerry Storm was a major failure.
The first phone to run Android 2.0, which featured free turn-by-turn directions on Google Maps, the DROID was a huge hit thanks to a strong advertising campaign from Verizon and Motorola. The DROID was my third smartphone after the original iPhone and the Storm, and it sent me traveling on the Android path for years.
