CNET Editors' review

Excellent
  • THE GOOD

    The Motorola Droid boasts a gorgeous display and the benefits of Android 2.0, including a faster Web browser, Google Maps Navigation app, and better messaging and contact management. It also offers excellent call quality, long talk time, and improved speed over previous Android devices.

  • THE BAD

    The QWERTY keyboard feels flat and the dialpad control is restricted to the home screen. Music and video capabilities still trail behind the competition. Dual-mode functionality for world-roaming capabilities would have been a nice addition. The Droid does not support Bluetooth voice dialing.

  • THE BOTTOM LINE

    Despite some design issues and a couple of missing features, the Motorola Droid is the most powerful and fastest Google Android device to date. It fully embraces the openness of the Android platform and offers Verizon customers a smartphone that certainly rivals the other touch-screen devices on the market.

I bought it for my daughter, she said the phone is good. It's not perfect but it was used and as I see it you get what you pay for. My daughter wanted a phone w/4G capability and I chose not to get that kind.

The phone works well enough and is a reasonable size - compared to some of the monsters out there today. My daughter (its her phone) complains of lagging performance and that the phone sometimes freezes when trying to play games like Fruit Ninja.

The good part is that it wasn't expensive and she gets to cut her teeth on an inexpensive Driod rather than an expensive iPhone. Plus this phone worked on Page Plus Cellular network!
