Boy Genius on the Motorola Droid
Boy Genius got their hands on the new Motorola droid from Verizon and it’s safe to say they’re impressed.
Highlights:
- Little fatter than the iPhone 3GS even with the real keyboard
- It’s fast
- Keyboard is nice, which was a major issue I heard with the older G1
- Verizon held off slapping their logo all over it. The Front logo is just as big or smaller than the Motorola one and the back one blends in more than sticks out.
- No crappy verizon apps. The apps page shows Amazon MP3 over Verizon’s vCast and no vznavigator or other associated bloatware verizon usually piles on the phones. It’ll be interesting to see the price and whether the lack of their apps pushes the price higher.
From the initial review the phone sounds like the best Android phone out there and with Verizon’s better network the iPhone may have some competition. Maybe my skepticism wasn’t warranted after all.
