Moto Droid Android 2.0 in all its glory!
The guys over at BGR were lucky enough to get a hands-on experience with the Motorola Droid for Verizon Wireless. Its running Android 2.0, which we mentioned the
other day.
Its the thinnest QWERTY slider on the market, being slightly thicker than the iPhone. It has a huge capacitive display.

According to BGR:
- Its running Android 2.0. Duh.
- Its thin. Just slightly thicker than an iPhone 3GS and the thinnest QWERTY-slider weve ever seen.
- It is the fastest Android device weve ever used. (Its running a TI OMAP3430 processor)
- The feel of the device is very reminiscent of the OQO 02 model computer. Just smaller. Its metal with a non-spring-assisted slide, very sturdy, and half soft-touch plastic.
- Awesome capacitive display. Plus its huge. Easily the best screen weve ever seen on an Android handset, and an amazing screen overall.
- The QWERTY keyboard is actually pretty usable and has a soft-touch rubberized finish. Weve been told the keyboard design isnt final on this unit, thus the two no-shows.
- Have we mentioned this phone flies? Its the Android device to beat, and easily the most impressive. From what weve been told, Google had a direct hand in the Motorola Droid. Something to the point of almost dictating every move Motorola made when designing and making the phone. Interesting, huh?
- Theres a desktop cradle/charger that will ship with the Motorola Droid that weve been playing around with. It turns your Droid into a “multimedia station†and displays local weather, the time, etc.
- No one wants to listen, but it makes the CLIQ looks like a childs toy (partly because it is, and partly because the Droid, even in its non-final form, is the most impressive phone weve used since the iPhone. Its positively amazing).
