Motorola Droid: Hands-on impressions and thoughts
We haven't had a chance to get our grubby mits on the Motorola Droid, but luckily we talk to Nilay Patel from Engadget and Gary Krakow from The Faster Times.com about the phone. Shockingly, they're pretty glowingly happy about the device, saying the software is snappy, the processor is fast, and the GPS support, which has been getting some buzz, is excellent. The bad side? The keyboard isn't as stellar as some would have expected, but Nilay says he's barely touched keyboard since he's using the on-screen keyboard so frequently. Nilay stopped short of recommending the phone over the iPhone, but did say it's a great device for Verizon customers.
We're excited to spend some time with the Droid ourselves, but for now, it sounds like Moto is on the right track.

Verizon preps ‘Droid’ iPhone competitor, but can it deliver?
The iPhone has definitely been a thorn in Verizon's side, and without a slick, modern touchscreen smartphone of its own to battle Apple and AT&T, Verizon has been left relatively scrambling. Last year, they hyped the BlackBerry Storm, but failed to deliver on the hype. This year, the company is prepping the "Droid" from Motorola, hoping it'll be the device that takes them over the top. Can they do it, or is it going to be another case of over promise, under deliver? We ask Jonathan Fingas of Electronista, and Michael Gartenberg of Interpret.
