Droid Does by Verizon - The Phone I Have Waited For

Finally, the technology in a cell phone I have waited for is now here.

Most importantly, the DroidDoes has the coverage I need.

Fully Loaded Smartphone to Satisfy


This is what the Droid has to Offer:

* 3.7-inch screen [ This is Huge for a wireless phone]
w/ 854 × 480 (16:9 widescreen) capacitive touchscreen

* 600MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor

* Wi-Fi, EV-DO

* 5-Megapixel Camera with Autofocus and LED flash ...and Video Recording

* QWERTY slider, 13.7mm thick

* 3.5mm headphone jack

* A 16GB onboard storage (very generous) with microSD expansion slot

* Android 2.0 "Eclair"

Droid will offer the following:

high-speed Web browsing,
voice-activated search,
a customizable large screen,
access to thousands of Android applications,
and hundreds of widgets.

Five Times More Coverage

Here, There, and Everywhere



I'm Sold. Five times the coverage says it all.
I would not consider any other phone based on this one point.
If you have an expensive piece of hardware and you can't use it, why have it?

My present phone goes dead when I go out to my brother-in-law's house on the lake.
It beeps when it tries to gain a signal. In and out, in and out. Beep, beep, beep.
We can't have a conversation with it.
My wife just rolls her eyes.
(There ought to be a law for eye rolling)
She's on Verizon, and I'm with someone else because it's a company phone.

Remember there are different types of networks, but this compares the 3 G Networks

www.Engadget.com Review of the Driod Does

These fine folks do a great job in reviewing new items



We've got the DROID in our hands... and it is sweet. Moto claims that this is the thinnest full QWERTY slider on the market, and we're apt to believe it. The phone is incredibly slick and solid, and we're definitely looking forward to putting it through its paces. We'll have more photos, video, and a full review coming, so stay tuned!

Some quick observations on the phone:

* That big screen is killer. Bright, crisp, and tons of room for your icons and widgets.
* Speed is noticeably improved -- particularly when moving from app to app. We did notice that some of the home screen scrolling looked laggy.
* Android 2.0 is definitely cleaned up -- but it's most definitely still Android
* The browser seems significantly improved -- pages now load up in a fully zoomed-out mode, and the load times and scrolling are way snappier.
* The keyboard takes some getting used to, and it suffers from a similar hand-position issue as the G1, but it's fairly usable. We think it'll be second nature once we spend some time with it.
* Facebook is integrated into accounts, which means some of that BLUR functionality is here (though now it's part of Android 2.0 natively). The good news is that when you add a Facebook account you can choose to pull all Facebook info and contacts, or just info related to your existing contacts -- a real clutter buster.

Droid Does Has Google Maps Navigation for Android 2.0 - FREE

1. The most recent map and business data
2. Search in plain English

If you are like me, there's nothing quite like seeing the product in action.
Please watch this video to see a real-life example of what the New Droid Does with Android 2.0 can do.

Oh yea, you can sell your Tom-Tom on Craigslist with other Droid Does owners, or give it away as a gift.
You won't need it anymore.

Android 2.0 Open source makes a Very Big difference

Watch This Review by CNET's Senior Editor Bonnie Cha



The Motorola Droid is the most powerful and fastest Google Android device now available.
This cellphone fully embraces the openness of the available Android platform.
What does this mean for Verizon customers?
They can now own a smartphone that certainly rivals other touch-screen devices in the marketplace.

    I finally made the leap a few weeks ago from my trusted Blackberry to the new Droid X. It took a little getting used to, but now I do indeed love it! :)

    I'm seriously considering it! My company pays for mine. Our contracts up for renewal in December and we can get new phones. I'm responsible for all of that so I'll be doing my research. Your information is just what I was looking for! Thanks!
