Motorola Droid
The newest smart phone to hit the market was the Motorola Droid. In an effort to battle AT&T’s stranglehold on the smartphone market with the iPhone. Verizon has tried to pry some of those customers away with the Google Powered Motorola Droid.
I am sure you have seen the commercials, commenting on what the iPhone doesn’t do, but that the Droid does do. There are a couple of neat features that are added in the droid, but not quite enough to make me move over from the iPhone. One of the biggest problems from the outset is that the Droid is limited in its application selection as it has just barely come out.
Most who have iPhones realize that the iPhone is great in and of itself, but that its real power is derived from the applications that are readily available at the touch of a button. I myself was a skeptic, and almost a complete anti- iphone person until I was given an opportunity to get one. Now I don’t think I can live without it and wondered how I ever did prior to owning one.
Now I am sure that at some point the Droid should have at least a similar amount of applications readily available to everyone, but at this time, it is just not there. What is odd is that a phone that has had at least 2-3 years of development time to truly outdo the iphone, that it really does not knock my socks off as it should. One would assume that it would offer features that would be absolute necessities, but they don’t.
Better luck next time motorola!
