Motorola Droid Review

Motorola has recreated themselves with the Motorola Droid. With the new life that this new smartphone has pumped into the company, you can expect more new things right around the corner. For now, take a look at the fact and features on this phone here.

The man who created smartphones, Martin Cooper, has the top knowledge on cell phones and he chooses to use a Motorola Droid. Is it just for marketing purposes ? The Droid has both a nice screen and a nice keyboard, backed up by lots of power and a great operating system. It is definitely the “cream of the crop” as far as smartphones go. Martin Cooper was probably dreaming of this twenty years ago.

The screen is luscious and bright. The resolution is way up there at 480 by 854 pixels. It is a very respectable 3.7 inches in size. It also has one of the highest number of colors you can get in a smartphone at 16.7 million colors. It performs all the “tricks” that a smartphone of this stature should be able to do. Multitouch allows you to pinch and zoom ( with android version 2.1 ), an accelerometer allows you to view the screen at vertical or horizontal angles and a proximity sensor shuts it down automatically when you are not using it. There are no negative surprises with the display.

The inside workings of the Motorola Droid are just as impressive. It has a 600 megahertz processor, 133 megabytes of internal storage and 256 megabytes of RAM. It connects to four different GSM bands and two on HSDPA for voice communication. For data communication there is everything you would need, except infrared, which people hardly use anyway. Wi-Fi is available in the “B” and “G” modes. Bluetooth connections have one protocol, the v2.1, with A2DP. The web browser connects to the web and give a good rendition of web pages. The browser is the WebKit model, which is a high quality browser with a good bit of speed.  (more…)

Motorola Droid – How is it Selling?

As you know, the Motorola Droid has been released, and  yes, it is outfitted with Google Android as an operating system. But how are people responding to the phone, and to the operating system? Well, within the first weekend of the Motorola Droid going on sale, over 100,000 were sold. That is not bad, especially considering that it is a new phone with a relatively new platform for this market. But that is not all – analysts predict that millions will sell by the end of 2010. Over 10 million in all! Not bad, huh?

Not at all, especially for a phone that is going for about $200 with a  two year contract. This is a phone that will get a lot of people excited, and as you can see, it already is having this effect on people – they love it, it is getting great reviews, and why not? After all, it has everything a phone user would want, and with the advent of Google Android as a platform, you will have more open-ended applications then you could possibly know what to do with!
