Much has been said and probably will continue to be said about the Motorola DROID atleast for a few months and until a new phone that’s worth its weight in salt is launched. The DROID is pipped to be a serious competitor to the Apple IPhone. At least with what’s let to know, one can say that now we have or rather better be said that Apple has a thing to watch out for. All this while Apple has been an unchallenged and even if someone dared to, the fight hasn’t lasted long enough.
Though much has been said about the good features of the DROID, there are however some glitches. The QWERTY keyboard feels flat and the dial pad control is restricted to the home screen. In fact, pressing the keys on the top is troublesome. Visually, the keyboard is easier (and more aesthetically pleasing) than other QWERTY phones too, though sometimes the keys can feel a bit cramped. Additionally, there are some major issues with the auto-dimming on the DROID. If you left the screen in auto brightness mode, the constant on / off dimming of the keyboard made it intolerable; eventually you had to just switch the auto dim off altogether. There are issues also with the keyboard not lighting up at all in some instances, requiring closing and opening the pad again. Not a big deal, but annoying when you're trying to quickly tap out a message. Admittedly, what was missed was the CLIQ's two-stage keyboard backlighting that only enabled the second light when ALT was pressed, but it's a thing one can do without.
Apart from this, the calendars aren't fully integrated, and we'd prefer to see dual-mode (GSM/CDMA) capability. Plus the camera is unpleasant to use, the application selection feels small in quantity and quality and the phone has some bits of basic, non-intuitive functionality that might chafe on some users after a while.
