If you really want the Droid the best deal I've found is through the free Borders Books Reward card. The Borders Card has an associated club- Borders Rewards Perks that offers a Droid for $50 for upgrading current subscribers and $20 for new subs through Wirefly. I've been holding off to see how the Nexus will be offered at Verizon but my EnV is getting long in the tooth and the battery even more so.
The word is that the Droid just got up graded to the current Android 2.1. That is the biggest flaw in Android marketplace- The OS doesn't get upgraded on many older phones so that an App that works on one version of the OS might not work on another version of the OS.
