Motorola has finally launched its most advanced and technically complete phone in the name of DROID. With every second manufacturer launching an Android phone, it was inevitable for Motorola to launch an Android stunner to sustain itself in the market. After disappointing everyone for so many years with not-so-great phones, finally it seems Motorola has delivered.
The Motorola DROID is beautiful in a different sense. It looks like a robust factory phone with a manly appeal to it. The phone has a huge 3.7 inch display and has a dedicated slider QWERTY keypad attached to it. The keys are well positioned and are comfortable to use. The onscreen keyboard is also comfortable to use for shorter messages. The full glass display ensures an awesome experience while surfing websites
The 256RAM inside the DROID provides a robust performance and gets all the basic tasks done without any lag. The multitasking performance of the phone is also very good. The phone has a 5-megapixel camera with flash and so imaging is a good experience in the day time as well as during the nights or dim lights. The focus feature of the phone is a bit slow so you have to be patient while taking snaps. The videos on the phone are very clear and full marks to the phone for its video clarity. The phone also rocks in the multimedia department with awesome sound quality and an excellent music player.
All the applications on the phone are responsive, although some third party applications are not supported by the phone. There is a handsome dock that comes with the phone that adds to the style quotient of the phone. The battery life of the phone is not so great but goes for around 24hrs without any hassles. A definite winner on all grounds for sure. The Motorola DROID is here to stay.
