Review: Motorola DROID from VzWireless
,----[ Quote ]
| The DROID is undeniably fastâboth at running
| apps and at using the Internetâbut speed isn't
| everything. Our DROID exhibited an unfortunate
| tendency to become unresponsive, distracted by
| who knows what for anywhere from 10 to 60
| seconds, several times a day. Every so often,
| some apps closed unexpectedlyânot just
| downloaded apps, but Navigation and Email. The
| DROID is a brand new phone, running a brand
| new OS version, so some growing pains are
| expected. However, we hope to see these kinks
| resolved quickly by Motorola/VzWireless
| updates.
|
| In the long run, we would like to see the
| DROID deliver stronger out-of-the-box business
| apps, including a more feature-rich Exchange
| mail client, standard file attachment readers,
| and an integrated personal/business calendar
| app.
|
| Combining such enhancements with the DROID's
| already-strong voice-driven apps and embedded
| navigation would make this phone a stronger
| enterprise contender. Until then, we don't see
| the DROID delivering a knock-out punch to the
| iPhone. We do, however, find the DROID worthy
| of serious consideration by anyone shopping
| for an "App Phone" this holiday season.

Motorola chose Linux and abandons Windows because Linux is _good_, not because
Motorola is a Linux "fan".

Droid: Enjoyed
,----[ Quote ]
| If I had my way, I would encourage Verizon
| Wireless to invest in both hologram
| technology and more "Star Wars" film rights.
| That would allow the carrier to hire an Alec
| Guinness lookalike who could pop up in 3-D
| visions in Verizon stores across the country,
| wave his hand over racks full of Motorola's
| (NYSE: MOT) new smartphone, and in full Obi-
| Wan Kenobi drag intone the words, "these are
| the Droids you're looking for."
