Droid Review. Is it the iPhone Killer?


Verizon is hoping to topple Steve Jobs and his iPhone with the latest phone to hit the market The Droid.


Now I just picked this phone up earlier today, but I can already tell you this phone has a lot going for it.

The one feature which stands out the most for me is the screen. I always had trouble reading the screens off other phones, but the combonation of the Droid’s slightly larger screen, and its higher resolution, I can actually read web pages in their standard zoom.

While the screen was a pleasant surprise, the full QWERTY keyboard was the selling point for me. I’ve always have had trouble with the full touch phones, and the slide out keyboard works great, although sometimes the sliding feels a bit clunky.

The Droid also comes with a 16GB flash card. I’m dropping some tracks onto my player right now.

It also supports a 5 megapixel camera which I’ve already have been playing around with.



Is it the end all to be all when it comes to the cell phone game? No. Not even close. And with the iPhone 4G rumored to be debuting, I don’t think the Droid will be atop the cell phone hill for long, if at all.

I’ll have a full review for you later next week after I get some more time to play around with it.
