Feature Packed Motorola Droid Hits Stores this Week
Verizon’s highly-anticipated answer to the iPhone is set to go on sale this week for $200.
This new handset, called the Motorola Droid, will run Google’s Android 2.0 operating system, offering a new mapping application that has voice-guided turn-by-turn directions, satellite imagery and high-resolution photos of the streets.
The free program (called Google Maps Navigation) looks to threaten dedicated GPS devices from the likes of TomTom and Garmin.
Additional features include a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, large 3.7-inch touch screen display, high-speed Internet with Flash support and a 5.0-megapixel camera with DVD-quality video recorder.
Verizon says the Motorola Droid will go on sale for $200 with a two-year contract beginning November 6.

I really like the design of the Motorola Droid. Got mine about 2 days ago.
Love the alarm clock feature with the dock station. Hope they make a new version without the keyboard so it can be thinner. The digital keyboard is good enoug for me.
Navigation is really fast thanks to Android 2.0. Typing is kinda hard on the keyboard because of the 4 way navigation pad that is in the way.
Nah, whatever I think the Droid is awesome and can easily take the iPhone.
