Motorola Droid hands-on photos

Motorola's Droid is a Google Android 2.0-based smartphone that is a technical tour de force. Here's a look at the slider QWERTY device, due Nov. 6 for $199 on Verizon.

They aren't very good and there are way too many. Also many look like the are virtually the same shot.

amateur photographer! :P
It looks nice and I am partial to Motorola, but I think it is too much for me. I have a W755 and use the phone, send a couple of texts now and then, use the camera rarely, and listen to tunes. I don't think I'll ever use the Internet or email on one of these things. I do want a touch phone eventually however.

Geez, I've got another year to go on my current phone. sad Maybe it will still be around next August...

Don't worry, by next August something bigger (or smaller), better, faster
will be available. Less expensive, too, you betcha.

Sprint?
Lenny.Gemar@... 29th Oct 2009
The HTC HERO may be a good device, but on the west coast Verizon is the carrier to use. Having used and compared AT&T (bad), Sprint (bad), and Verizon (good), I can't in good conscience recommend anything but Verizon to my friends. That's why I haven't gotten an iPhone.

Android may rock.
Hero may be good [it doesn't look half bad!].
Verizon is solid.

I'm not going to leave Verizon, no matter how much I want an iPhone.

But, so far, *nothing* comes close.

My RAZR does just fine. I have an iPod. I have a computer. I don't need an ugly "dumb computer" that is portable and makes calls.

So, I wait for a phreaking phone that looks good, runs a few apps I'd like, and is simple [NO QWERTY and NO moving parts]. Something that might help me with my iPhone envy. Anything.

Hero, maybe. Droid, no. HELL, no.
Looks like the old "6700" I have in my desk drawer. Is it as thick as it looks?
Can you lock out the keyboard so it doesn't call
home on you all the time like the 6700 did?
I agree about Verizon. I have friends who have all of the above, and I seem to always have service where they don't. I used to work for ATT (when they were cingular), and the big joke was "can you hear me now" because they all had to go outside to make thei calls on their phones while i had full service on my verizon phone which I wouldnt give up for a company cell.
That's one big and ugly phone!!
It's has a lip!! Why isn't that these Andriod phones all have a chin
or a lip.
Looks like my G1 only more usuable. I love my G1 and Android. Best phone and PDA I've ever had.
