Product Description

The first Android-powered phone for Verizon Wireless, the 3G-enabled Motorola DROID smartphone offers a full package of powerful mobile connectivity--from easy access to all your social networks and viewing of full Web sites, to spoken turn-by-turn directions thanks to the new Google Maps with Navigation Beta app. One of the thinnest full-QWERTY slider phones available, the Motorola DROID also features a high-resolution 3.7-inch touchscreen display and a virtual onscreen keyboard that auto-rotates depending on the phone's orientation. You'll also be able to capture high-resolution images and DVD-quality videos on the go with its 5-megapixel camera with flash.



The Motorola DROID offers the powerful Android 2.0 operating system, fast and reliable Verizon Wireless 3G connectivity, and a wealth of Google Mobile services--including the new Google Maps with Navigation app.
With integrated Google technology, the Motorola DROID brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile services millions use every day, including Google Search by Voice, YouTube, and Picasa. The DROID also provides easy access to both personal and corporate email, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail.

In addition to 3G connectivity, the DROID offers Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g) for accessing home networks, business networks, and Wi-Fi hotspots while on the go, and Bluetooth connectivity for both hands-free devices and stereo music streaming. Other features include memory expansion via microSD memory cards (a 16 GB card is included with the device), threaded text and picture messaging for seamless on the go conversations, Visual Voicemail capabilities, 3.5mm headset jack, and up to 6.4 hours of talk time.

Here are just a few of the things that the Motorola DROID can do for you:

  • Zip through the Web: Access the Internet at 3G speeds via the nation's largest and most reliable 3G network, or from any Wi-Fi hotspot. The multi-window HTML browser with a massive processor delivers the Web the way you expect.
  • See it all in cinema-style: View the Web, email, Google Maps, videos, and more on a brilliant 3.7-inch high-resolution screen. Boasting a width of 854 pixels to reduce the need for side-to-side panning, and more than 400,000 pixels total, DROID has more than twice that of the leading competitor.
  • Run multiple applications at once: Customize your DROID with thousands of applications and hundreds of widgets available at Android Market. Toggle back and forth between up to six applications at once to juggle the universe and your apps.
  • Perform Google Search at the speed of sound: Simply tell DROID what you're looking for using voice-activated search, and it will serve up Google search results based on your location. If you want more, just type what you're looking for into the search bar on the home screen and DROID will also search content on your phone, such as apps and contacts, and the Web.
  • Capture moments: Snap digital camera-quality photos with a 5-megapixel camera loaded with the works, including a dual-LED flash, auto-focus, and image stabilization, or capture your friend's antics in 16 million colors with DVD-quality video capture and playback. Store it all on the included 16 GB memory card, so you always have it on hand.
  • Multi-task like a master: Keep tabs on all your messages with integrated Gmail and Exchange email pushed directly to you, but don't let them get in your way. With the handy Android notification panel, go straight to the message or simply ignore it, and get back to the task at hand. And, a smart dictionary learns as you type and automatically includes your contacts.


    Other features include a 3.7-inch touchscreen, slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, real HTML web browsing, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, microSD memory expansion (with included 16 GB card), and access to both personal and corporate email (see larger image).


    See a schematic of all the controls.
  • Get where you need to go with Google Maps Navigation (Beta): DROID is the first device with Google Maps Navigation, providing turn-by-turn voice guidance as a free feature of Google Maps. It's powered by Google and connected to the Internet. Use voice shortcuts and simply say "Navigate to [your destination]," and you'll be on your way. See live traffic, use Street View or satellite imagery to view your route, and get access to the most recent maps and business information from Google Maps without ever needing to update your device.
The Motorola DROID comes pre-loaded with a variety of Google and Verizon Wireless mobile services, including:
  • Google Maps: With layers in Google Maps, view geographic information, such as My Maps, Wikipedia, and transit lines, right on the map.
  • Gmail: Multiple accounts support and undo for common operations.

Great Phone
 
Review Date: September 4, 2010
Reviewer: Edward S. Ramirez,
Let me begin by saying that I am somewhat new to smartphones. Now that i have the Droid I have to say that I love it. I got the Android 2.2 on September 3, 2010, from Verizon. The screen is crisp and very responsive. The apps are great and there are plenty of them on the android market. With 2.2 you have 5 homepages and having adobe flash player (which can be downloaded from the market) makes the browsing experience top notch. Google has some awesome apps that come pre-loaded on the phone. such as, maps, navigation, and my favorite goggles. the only downside that i found was that the slide out keyboard is very flush, but having it is a plus. i cant really compare it to any other phone that i have had, but i have played around my friends iphones and i must say that i don't envy them!
The droid is good
 
Review Date: September 2, 2010
Reviewer: Mo Enteshari,
This is the first really well functioning cell phone I have every had. I am convinced that it is more than just the phone service providing the excellent sound quality. Call quality is great, picture and video are amazing, and the app store has so far supplied me with every extension I've thought up for my phone. The full, physical keyboard was a must for me and while my big fingers do occasionally mis-type things it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The on-screen keyboard isn't terrible either. With the first major update that was released, the browser, gallery, and Google maps all now have multi-touch pinch-to-zoom support. The new gallery is great and it also links in my picasa web albums so I have direct access to all my pictures from picasa as well. The best thing about it for me as well is that it links right into all of my google account, which means I can more easily manage my contacts, and I get to take gmail, gtalk, google voice, etc. everywhere I go. Can't say enough great things about this phone. Just went in the last week and got my wife one as well and she's really been enjoying it. I would highly recommend a protective case for Motorola Droid It's a little difficult to install, but made the touchscreen experience much better and keeps smudges off the screen as well. I, like many people, have been interested in an iPhone and almost left Verizon to get one when the DROID came out. I'm so glad I stayed and didn't leave... The DROID the best phone I've ever owned. It's everything I wanted out of the iPhone, but with a swappable battery and none of the apple-tax. This phone is as easy to use as the iPhone, but with all the bells and whistles that someone who's more technical could ever want.

Comparable to iPhone 3GS
 
Review Date: August 12, 2010
Reviewer: T Shah,
I am a former owner of iphone of 2 years but after my phone was stolen I had no reason to tolerate AT&T's poor coverage anymore. I settled for Droid because it is only 7 month old model, compatible with Froyo and it is buy 1 get 1 free.

I upgraded to Android 2.2 the next day.


The hardware spec is similar to iPhone 3GS but slightly better. First up, the screen is really sharp and even at its brightest it is slightly difficult to see screen in sun. Live Wallpaper really rocks.
The sound from speaker is crystal clear.
I haven't used slider keyboard much simply because soft keyboard works just fine. I am a fast typist but iphone was great at auto suggesting words so end result was much faster and uninterrupted typing. I could only type at half the speed on Droid because for auto suggested word I have to stop typing to pick the word. I even had touch screen issues in some places - flicking photos in camera album didn't always respond well, using thumb slider in Contacts didn't work with left thumb with works great with right thumb.
The icons on the phone are smaller than iPhone's so it could be harder to see for people with poorer vision. Market has many apps that are popular on iTune.
I love the Car Home feature - navigation is as good as you would find on standalone GPS device. Voice search feature is very easy to use and accurate.
I am little disappointed with the photos but the video is just great. Good thing is that it takes photos even in low light but pictures taken day time do not reproduce the original colors. Subject seems to be covered in white haze/fog. Video is very sharp and clear.
Battery lasts me through the day with moderate use. You have to be careful what programs you run because multi tasking can really suck up your battery. I have turned off sound and vibrate for all alerts. Good thing is that settings shows which part of the phone uses most power (50% is used by the display

Email accounts are easy to setup. Contacts and Calendar sync online which is very reassuring. Using cable to connect your phone to PC is so 20th century. Clock feature is very well designed so it can be kept at bedside.

Overall, it is a good replacement for iPhone 3GS and I would recommend it. I bought my wife one too.

Still the best

Still the best on the market for bussiness use with the keyboard and ease of use.
Droid verses the Droid Eris
 
Review Date: July 29, 2010
Reviewer: Artimus,
I love my Droid. I started with the HTC Droid Eris 3G and I will say it is a very classy, streamlined phone with a look similar to the iphone. The Eris is easy for anyone to use. The layout is nice and it does a lot of what the Droid does. My husband surprised me by giving me the Motorola Droid 3G however and while it took me about a week to get it set up to my preferences, I must say I couldn't be happier with it. It's like my own little laptop. The Droid is a little heavier and boxier than the Eris but its battery life far outlasts the Eris which would die on me in half a day.(I use my smart phone heavily and the Droid can usually make it through the day.) One of the great features that the droid has that the Eris does not is the voice navigation which works through google and you do not need a gps in your car when you have a Droid. I have used it and it has the same onscreen look that other stand alone gps systems use and the voiced directions are essential. I am the type of smart phone user that takes advantage of almost every feature the droid offers. I am a writer and I can download my book from my email or computer. Up-size it so that it reads in larger font (less words on a line is all) and I can edit and save and either dock or email the results back. I also use Pandora on my phone so I have tunes all the time. I can check my bank accounts safely. I text a lot with my kids. (I don't like the slide up keyboard as much as the onscreen for texting but the Droid out-does the Eris with its larger onscreen keyboard. I play games on my cell; Night at the Museum, Prince of Persia, Sims 3,Iron Sight, and Spore are a few and the Droid runs them flawlessly. Another fun feature the droid has that the Eris does not is animated back grounds,the aquarium looks just like the one on windows and cost only 2 dollars from the marketplace. You can feed the fish and when you touch them they swim fast and it has a shark and manta ray so its a fun little app(many apps are free BTW). I use the camera and the droid phone comes with a flash whereas the Eris does not.They both seem to take good quality pictures. The internet is faster on the Droid than the Eris. You tube works smoothly on both devices, they say both phones do video but the one movie I put on was glichy on both. I think the size might have been to large. I do miss the end and call button that the Eris comes with, the droid has onscreen buttons and calls are terminated when the other person hangs up, but I would have liked those buttons. I only use the physical keyboard when editing in word otherwise I stick with the onscreen one. Both phones use a real basic FB app but you can see posts and mail so its ok. Bluetooth works well on both devices. All in all I highly recommend the Motorola Droid over the Eris, though if you are a light user; internet, calls and a few fun apps the Droid Eris would be just fine.

Turn-by-turn, voice guided navigation comes free for both drivers and pedestrians. For drivers this includes lane assistance, traffic information, safety camera, and speed warnings. For pedestrians, this includes shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones for over 100 cities around the world as well as 6,000 3D landmarks in over 200 cities to help you find exactly where you are.

Unique Hybrid Technology
Ovi Maps is built on an advanced technology called hybrid vector maps. Vector maps are high quality but less data intensive and allow you to continue to navigate even if you lose your network connection. This means that maps downloaded or updated across a network connection are about half the size of bulky bitmaps used by other mobile map providers. The hybrid technology ensures that, unlike other providers, any downloaded map data is stored on the device for future use.

No Network Connection Required When Navigating
Avoid expensive, battery-draining network connections with Nokia's unique hybrid technology. Maps can be pre-loaded on to your Nokia smartphone so you can set Ovi Maps to offline mode, saving battery power, and the navigation system will still work. This is particularly useful for those worried about data connection costs when travelling abroad or when you are travelling through areas with little or no network coverage.

Best Global Coverage
You take your mobile with you wherever you go in the world so, as standard, voice guided navigation for both pedestrians and drivers is available for 74 countries in 46 different languages and there are maps for over 180 countries. This gives you the best maps with the largest global coverage for free.

Amazon Video on Demand

Amazon Video on Demand offers over 40,000 movie and TV titles that you can watch on the go using your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic mobile phone, and set-up is easy. You'll first need to download the Amazon Video on Demand video player (which may also be called the Amazon "Unbox" player; not compatible with Mac or Linux computers).

The Amazon Video on Demand player can download two types of videos. To save space on your computer's hard drive, the Amazon Video Player will only download the larger video file for watching in the Player. You will need to also download the smaller portable file in order to transfer your video to your 5800 XpressMusic. You can only transfer a portable version of a video if you've previously downloaded the full video to your computer using the Amazon Video Player. The 8 GB microSD memory card included with the 5800 XpressMusic should allow you to store around 15 average full-length movies

Note that you will not be able to transfer Rental Videos to your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic--only purchased videos can be transferred. For complete instructions, see this Amazon Help article.
