The Droid is Here!

We review the highly anticipated Motorola DROID, to see what we can expect from the Milestone when it hits the UK Published on Dec 1, 2009

In late October, we received a last-minute invitation to hear about a new Android-powered super smartphone from the experts at US-based Verizon Wireless and Motorola . Oddly, the software gurus from Google were not in attendance. We've been living with a DROID since then and we can tell you that so far, this device is a winner.

The Hardware

For those keeping track, the DROID measures 115.8x60x13.7mm inches and weighs in at hair less than 165g. It has a 3.7-inch , WVGA (854x480 pixels) capacitive touchscreen that displays 400,000 vivid pixels. It's nice to have a larger display on an Android device -- it gives users the sense of working on a real computing device and not just a small smartphone.

The DROID phone also features integrated GPS, Bluetooth (2.1) and Wi-Fi (802.11b/g). MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264 videos play back at D1 resolution (720x480), and the included 16GB microSD memory card provides plenty of storage space for videos, music and photos.

The user-replaceable, rechargeable battery pack is said to be good for as much as 6.4 hours of talk time and 11.25 days of standby. In terms of real world use, Motorola's Chairman Sanjay Jha told me that the DROID's battery would provide a full day's use from a fully charged battery. As is the case with ALL smartphones, actual battery life depends entirely on usage and will vary from person to person.

The camera is 5-megapixels and despite its adequate specs on paper, it may very well be the DROID's weakest link. Pictures are rarely crisp, colors seem washed out even in bright outside lighting and any motion that occurs within the frame will undoubtedly result in a ruined image.

The DROID also runs on what is being called the fastest processor of any Android phone: a Texas Instrument's OMAP 3430, which can reportedly run as fast as 600 MHz.

Android 2.0 and Google Maps Navigation

Motorola's DROID is the first Google device of any kind to be released with the new Android 2.0 operating system. Everything from the email application, to the contacts interface, to the video player and even gaming capabilities seem improved compared to earlier builds of the Android OS.

We love the fact that this is the first device to include free, built-in, turn-by-turn voice-guided navigation courtesy of Google Maps Navigation. No longer will you have to bring a separate GPS unit with you in the car, or pay over £100 for a comparable mobile navigation application. Google's app does a good job of getting me where I need to go, but it is not without its faults.
