Droid Charge set to launch today, May 14 for $299

Verizon Wireless Samsung Droid Charge

You want have to wait much longer to get your hands on the first 4G Droid device. After a few delays Verizon Wireless is finally ready to release the Droid Charge today, May 14. The phone will be in stores this morning, and online at midnight.

The Droid Charge seems to be getting some great reviews from those who have received review units. We haven’t gotten our hands on it quite yet, but I did manage to see the phone at CES, before it even had a name. It felt like a great phone then, and that seems to hold true for the final version of the hardware. You pay a lot to have a great phone, however. The Droid Charge will cost you $299 on a two-year contract, That’s a bit on the pricey side, though it is the same price as the 32GB iPhone 4, so it’s not unheard of.

The phone doesn’t have the fancy dual-core Tegra 2 like you’ll find in the Droid X2, but it does have the front-facing camera and 4G that the 4.3-inch monster lacks. It ships with Froyo, but hopefully an upgrade to Android 2.3.4 will come soon so you can use Google Talk with video.
