If you keep up with cell phone news, you’ve probably read a lot of articles talking about the new Motorola DROID which is set to become available on November 6, 2009. It’s just days away but people are already talking about how cool it is so I’m pretty intrigued.
This is the first smartphone to be powered by Android 2.0 and is supposed to be stronger and faster than 
the competition. The device promises “high-speed Web browsing, voice-activated search, customizable large screen, access to thousands of Android applications and hundreds of widgets.”
Apparently, the shell is pretty solid while still being one of the thinnest full-QWERTY slider phones around so I’m sure a lot of people are going to be putting this on their holiday wishlists!
I read over some of the product details on the Verizon website and the best features include the following:
- Connecting to the internet at 3G speeds with access to a multi-window HTML browser.
- Widescreen visibility on a 3.7” high-resolution screen which makes viewing email, Google Maps, videos and websites a lot easier!
- You can toggle between up to six applications at the same time!
- Super quick Google searches!
- The 5 megapixel camera lets you take digital camera-quality snapshots with autofocus, image stabilization and dual-LED flash. The DVD-quality video capture also comes in handy as does the 16 GB memory card!
- The DROID is the first device to feature Google Maps Navigation which provides turn-by-turn voice guidance for FREE!!!! That alone is worth checking this phone out. How awesome is that? You can even see live traffic, street views and satellite images along your route.
The DROID by Motorola will be available in the United States exclusively at Verizon Wireless Communications Stores and online on Friday, November 6, 2009 for $199.99 with a new two-year customer agreement after a $100 mail-in rebate.
