THE DROID Motorola phone which was presented on Wednesday, November 6 is available from Verizon and is the latest smartphone. The Phone is based on Google’s Anroid Operating System designed for phones as powerful as a PC.

The Droid Motorola is the first phone built with the latest 2.0 version of Anroid. The phone would cost around $ 199.99 with a two year contract. The phone has a much faster internet browser and can handle corporate emails quite efficiently.

The Verizon-ins is usually absent, such as V CAST service entertainment. Instead the googlies all droid which has links to Gmail (one can choose another email provider if one wants), Google calendars, Maps and youtube.

Around 12,000 applications are available which includes Pandora and Imeem for music and weather.

Verizon is unmatched in the iPhone by Droid plays three major features like a physical keyboard, the capability to run more than one application at the same time and the ability to customize the home screen. However the physical keyboard has letters and numbers on the same key which is quite difficult to operate. But fortunately there is a virtual keyboard just like the iPhone which is much softer.

The Droid hardware is indeed a technical feet. It features a 5 mega pixel camera with a flash which doesn't perform that well but still too good for a phone. The touch screen is much larger than the iPhone with more pixels per inch.

The best feature is the new Google Maps application that provides audio turn by step directions and photo of Google’s street view neighbourhoods.
