Motorola posted and then removed specs for its Verizon-destined, Android-based “Droid” phone, says eWEEK. Meanwhile, Motorola “Calgary” and “Zeppelin” Android phones have been tipped, T-Mobile launched Huawei’s Android-based “Pulse” phone in the UK, an HTC Desire photo has appeared, and HTC released source code for the Hero, say various reports.

So many Android phones have been announced or rumored over the last few weeks, we’re sure to have missed a few, but this is the latest rundown of another busy week in Android land. The Android model that keeps cropping up as the next “iPhone” killer (supposedly supplanting the non-Android, Linux-based Palm Pre for that dubious honor) is the Motorola Droid.

After running through a series of nicknames, including the Sholes and the Tao, the Droid was officially “leaked” in an ad campaign launched by Verizon Wireless last Sunday that trash-talks the iPhone for various deficiencies. By eWEEK’s reckoning, the Droid will officially launch on October 30th, although others have pegged the date as the 28th, or even earlier, and some have said it won’t launch until early November.
