And, as usual, it’s crippled in at least one aspect - the Verizon version of the Droid does not support multitouch, the rest of world version will.

So, the question now is, how *else* is the Droid crippled by Verizon (which should be renamed The Phone Crippler).

Here’s another vote for wondering how Verizon crippled an otherwise good phone - again.

Isn’t the assumption that Apple holds some multi-touch patents in the US they don’t other places that keeps it off the US version? Since it is built into Eclair I don’t think it will be too long before adventurous folks can get it turned on.

Also, the US version has the new google navigation and the other countries won’t.

Certainly the one people find most useful will vary. I think I would prefer the multi-touch. But I would also prefer the phone to be all touch as well (and on T-Mobile).

The good thing is with Android finally on Verizon, the Android Market should start taking off with more customers.
