Motorola launches its Droid phone
US BASED mobile phone maker Motorola launched its heavily promoted Droid handset today.
The company's latest smartphone uses Google's Android 2.0 platform and has both 3G and WiFi connectivity. It has a 3.7-inch screen, 16GB of memory and a 5MP camera.
The Droid handset also takes advantage of the latest features of the Android 2.0 SDK, including the capability to run multiple applications simultaneously, built-in Gmail support and Google's just-announced Maps Navigation service.
In a statement, Motorola's mobile devices chief Sanjay Jha said, "Droid delivers a rich consumer experience with warp-speed web browsing, a mammoth screen, and Motorola's expertise in design and voice quality."
"Combined with Android's open, flexible graphical user interface and the power of Verizon Wireless 3G network, Droid is a smartphone that simply doesn't compromise."
Photos of Motorola's Droid smartphone as well as a video walkthrough are available at Crunchgear.
Verizon will be the first mobile operator to carry the Droid handset in the US and will launch the device on 6 November. There's no word on a UK carrier or release date. µ

because Verizon, unlike most major carriers, is still a CDMA-based network, so Moto will have to do a bit of rework before Droid can appear to the GSM masses.
The review on the link you posted must be the lamest review in the history of reviews of any product.
"It’s now sitting quietly on the desk next to me, wondering where you are. The Droid wants you."
Oh, please.
You could just google up some images and put in your article, while saving us those 3 minutes spent on that lame site.
Thanks
I think that should be a bundled 16GB MicroSD card, not 16GB memory, just to be clear.
