The good: Gorgeous display; Android 2.0 which includes a faster Web browser, Google Maps Navigation app, and better messaging and contact management; excellent call quality; long talktime; improved speed over previous Android devices.

The bad: QWERTY keyboard feels flat; 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 bottom line: Some minor design issues and multimedia quibbles aside, 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 touchscreen devices on the market.
