New Phone (Motorola Droid)

 

I recently picked the new Motorola Droid from Verizon. I had the ENv Touch and the battery went out on it, I wasn’t actually planning on getting a new phone, but technology and new things seem to call to me.

I have to say that I am completely satisfied with the Droid up to this point. Granted, that I have only had it for 4 days now, but I usually base my opinions within the initial phases of things. 

I am not going to list all the specs, if you want to see click here.

I am impressed with the speed of the phone. Web browsing is nice and quick. True web browsing, with the pages loading up in amazing time for a phone, especially when the Wi-Fi is enabled and there is a network available; but the 3G network seems to do the job just as well too.

I am not going to lie though, the phone is huge, it’s not an attractive phone. I mean if you want a phone that is going to fit in your pocket nicely, this isn’t for you. Although, the Droid HTC has all the same specs as the Motorola version, so you may want to consider that if the size of the phone is an issue. I chose not to get the HTC because I wanted the bigger screen and the slide out keyboard.

Being a fan the IpodTouch (ipod version of the Iphone), I really enjoy the similarities in the Droid that the IpodTouch has. Since I have Verizon, I had to find an alternative to the Iphone.

I also love the 5mp camera on the phone. The Picture quality the Droid provides coming from a phone is really nice to have. Not to mention that you can virtually upload the images almost instantly to any application you want. Whether it’s facebook, your email, or pic texting.

I like the Droid since I use a lot of Google Apps, and it being a Google phone,  it works smoothly with the Gmail, GoogleTalk, Youtube, and some others.

I may feel differently about in a month or so, but so far so good.
