Nope. That would be a major selling point and something that they wouldn't omit.

Sure, if you think you can hack a Powermat and the car mount together.

You'd really need to replace the head unit in a situation like that.

Either. You don't "sync" (don't know why people use sync to mean everything these days) music to the car stereo. You're either streaming to it, playing audio from the Droid via aux or you're accessing the music on the SD card (depending on the approach you choose).

That's too vague a question to answer. Battery life is going to depend specifically on your usage. You won't know what it's like until you start using it. Actively using GPS kills the battery. Leaving the screen on full brightness for long periods of time kills the battery. Using 3G a lot kills the battery.

Again, vague question. The Droid isn't known for its camera. Well, not for the camera being any good. If photography is important to you, I'd suggest getting a real digital camera. If you want to take snapshots in daylight you're probably fine.

Seriously? Check Verizonwireless.com. The info is all out there already. Unless you're planning on having 2 lines with data on both, unlimited SMS, insurance on both and ringback tones on one then what I'm paying won't be relevant to you.
