Didn't see this posted (might have missed it), but a Verizon document leaked shows that the Storm 2 will officially be dead October 10th:

Current Droids EOL 3/31/2011 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

I am guessing they are killing it for hte intro of the Storm 3 also slated for October.

*should be Storm 2*

[bighap]

Think you mean Storm 2.

[dkingsf]

Why the h3ll is this even in the Storm2 forum? Or any Blackberry forum for that matter?

Probably swyped too much and made a typo in the title.

Man that sucks. The Droid 2 JUST came out. And it is already ending. That was a good 2 month run that they are planning, lol. On a side note, I pretty much hate every phone Motorola ever made.

[howarmat]

lmao wow...

[johntkong]

Given the choice between Storm 2 or Bold 9650, which would you pick?

[reverepats]

9650 hands down...OS6 compatible. not storm 1or2

Storm2, don't need OS6

[titusilvering]

WTF?!?!? Is this a droid forum?

[alupo790]

the op is just showing a document that shows the EOL date of the storm 2 along with many other phones, it just happens to be posted in a droid forum, idk what people are getting mad this is posted, and the droid is EOL in 2011 not 2010 so its not 2 months

[metalmancpa]

Those EOL listings are also specific on the OS the phone is running. So just because the Storm 2 with OS5 has an Oct 2010 or the Droid X with Android 2.1 has a Mar 2011 EOL, I don't think oit necessairly means the entire hardware.

"What if" there is a Storm 2 with OS6? I know the Droid X is getting 2.2. So I don't think those would be part of the EOL phones if both phones have the updated OS's. Just my .02 worth.

[howarmat]

no its the hardware, the OS wont matter.

[RHChan84]

At least the S2 was out for about a year before EOL. Look at the D2, just came out about a month ago and in March, it's EOL.

Because Android devices are actually improving their hardware and software at rapid rates, unlike RIM.

[metalmancpa]

no its the hardware, the OS wont matter.

Why would an EOL listing make note of the OS? For instance, the Droid X 3/31/11 EOL says running 2.1. Supposedly in early September all X's will be running 2.2. Just curious.

[howarmat]

because the OS doesnt matter. then didnt discontinue the Storm 1 running OS 4.7 vs Storm 1 running OS 5. a device is a device, reguardless of the OS.

[scott9050]

Think you mean Storm 2.

Yeah, meant Storm 2. Had Droid on the brain, LOL.

[techman4112]

I heard the EOL just means the phone wont be sold anymore. Like the Droid got EOL beginning of this month but its still getting supported.

correct, the stores wont be getting new shipments in basically so when they are out they are out

[Jaji_vzw8330]

So wait... does this mean my S2 will self destruct on 10/10/10? Triple 10, the mark of the BEAST!!!

[anon3396357]

Question: Shipment of new models or shipment of refurbished models? What if there are still customers with handsets under warranty?

Usually what happens is you are upgraded. Original Droid owners for example are being upgraded to the Droid 2, X or Incredible if their phones fail.

[howarmat]

as long as refurbs are available then you will most likely get a refurb from the warehouse. you will probably have to bargain to get a new model (is droid 2, storm 3 etc)
