DROID by Motorola for Verizon
by Android Tapp
Oct 30, 2009 9:26 AM –
Verizon Wireless jumped on the Android bandwagon debuting one of Motorola’s first Android Phones called DROID! A quick roundup of impressive features: more internal memory and 16MB SD Card (G1 192MB, DROID 256MB), larger 3.7″ screen with higher resolution (480 x 854), slimmer than other Android phones (0.5″, iPhone is slimmer at 0.48″) , slider with full QWERTY keyboard, 3.5mm headset jack (Yay!), 5 megapixel camera with digital zoom and flash, plus more!

P.S. I like the competitive ad campaign Verizon is unleashing on AT&T and Apple. “There’s a map for that…” and “iDon’t…” classic
