Abstract: Recently, I have had some time to check one of the latest Verizon smartphones, the Motorola DROID running Google Android 2.0. This is the first time I had used the Android platform and I was pleased with the hardware functionality of the DROID as well...
The Droid will not transport you to that island paradise for an instant vacation, but it will do most of what you need to do with a smart phone. The Android app collection is well on its way, and, like the iTunes store, it features many free and inexp...

Android OS 2.0. Background tasks. Scary-good voice command.
Physical keyboard is horrible. Worst camera ever. Feels like a brick in your hand. No direct synchronization with iCal or Address Book.
The Droid still manages to be the second-best smartphone on the market. Unfortunately, the hardware isn't nearly as good a dance partner as the software, and the Droid could easily be knocked from that spot when Android 2.0 is available on other phone...
Abstract: And yet, Droid shows off the best of Android: good onboard searching and Google services integration, superb Web browsing (especially on Verizon’s network), a promising app platform, and a real PC-like mobile experience.
