Motorola Droid – Is it Really Worth $200

Well, it certainly looks like Motorola’s Droid, the first major Android 2.0 smart phone is getting some decent reviews, although it’s also getting a bit of criticism, and at least one major personal tech device reviewer is claiming that the “flattened keyboard” is difficult to type on, yet, I did not find it difficult myself, rather simply awkward which I assume is because I just wasn’t used to that. If you are moving from a regular cell phone to Motorola’s Droid it is a big move in technology.

Is it worth the $200, well, I’d say it is compared to its competing smart phones and their applications.  It is pretty cool looking and a big screen for a smart phone 3.7 inches, with decent backlighting, making it workable in bright daylight too. Personally, I thought the resolution of the screen was much better when I put them side-by-side, although a gal (daughter of a yuppie) next to me tried to convince me that her Apple iPhone was “Way Better – Way!” and I’m like whatever, look, this Motorola Droid is much crisper, and quite frankly it’s a nicer product, at least for what I need.

Indeed, I found the surfing to be fast, and you could move from screen to screen navigating quite quickly, and if you are using Gmail – whooya! You will enjoy this phone. Someone told me it was a little heavier than the iPhone? And I’m like so what? Why, are you so weak you can’t pick up something that is a half-a-pound? Please, this is a very nice phone, so, I’m giving this one my highest rating, or maybe a fraction under a perfect 10. Most of the buyers I met seemed to be quite excited with their purchases and were then considering their choice for the data smart cell phone plan.
