By Dan Nosowitz Motorola Droid: Sure, Matt may have called the Droid "the second best smartphone you can buy," the best being the iPhone 3GS, but Apple haters will find plenty to love about the Droid—and plenty to loathe about the iPhone. I won't rehash our review (or Verizon's intimidating "Droid Does" a...

By Adam Ostrow Moreover, while some have called Droid’s early returns disappointing compared to iPhone, Flurry notes the often overlooked fact that “Apple simultaneously launched its device across eight countries, while the Droid launched only in the U.S. Additionally, the iPhone commanded a stro...

By Sarah Perez What they didn't note, however, is that the iPhone 3GS was just the latest model of the iPhone to arrive on the market, it is not the original device. Prior to the 3GS, the iPhone had two previous versions, the second which finally allowed for 3G cellular access and GPS capabilities. This upda...

By Om Malik Flurry monitors about 10,000 apps across iPhone and Android and claims that it tracks apps on approximately two out of three unique iPhone and Android handsets. To estimate first week sales totals for the myTouch 3G, Droid and iPhone 3GS, Flurry detected new handsets within its system, a...

By karmamule The Droid’s virtual keyboard was also very capable, and I like how it starts showing several potential word matches as you’re typing. If the right one pops up, which it frequently does, you can tap it and move on quickly. Once again much to my surprise I found myself quickly adapting to the Dro...

By nywriter21 If you have been following this blog you will know that I have been in search of the one device that will be the only one I need to carry on me for all my media/browsing/phone needs. While things are looking up and some great handsets are coming out, they have all fallen short. I switched from ATT a...

By Joanna Stern Of course, Apple makes the iPhone and wouldn’t want to compete with its own product but, luckily for the company, there is no need to try and compete with it. The popularity of the latest generation of smartphones, including the iPhone, Palm Pre and now the Motorola Droid, has confirmed tha...

Since its debut in 2007, millions of people have gravitated toward Apple's iPhone, wooed by its sleek hardware, simple user interface and abundance of applications. Other smart phone makers have been trying since then to dispel the notion that the iPhone is the be-all and end-all of mobi...

By Rene Ritchie Lastly, the DROID has a physical keyboard and a virtual keyboard. The iPhone only has a virtual keyboard. Early reviews suggest the DROID physical keyboard is a little flat, a little hard to differentiate one key from another, and a little off-center to accommodate the 5-way control. In oth...

By Dylan F. Tweney In terms of interface and features, the Droid is the first phone that’s truly comparable to the iPhone in terms of power and ease of use. There are interface differences, but for the most part they’re not better or worse, just different.

By Mark When you think about the specifications of the Droid it seems to be a little better on paper, we mentioned not so long ago about the camera side of things and how it compares to the iPhone, and what about the fact of the Droid having Google’s Android 2.0 operating system which is a big deal becau...

By Kevin C. Tofel After looking at his test set, most of the iPhone photos look better to me in most cases. Of course, that’s subjective, so you should peep with your own eyes to see the difference. It looks like the advanced software camera features of the iPhone are helping to take better shots thanks to focus...

By JG Mason Pogue’s review Pogue, gets right to the heart of the matter: “So is it true? Is the Droid an iPhone killer?  No, but it’s certainly a killer phone.”  Pogue mentions the iPhone 18 times in his review but is able to sum up the phone’s successes:

By Colin Gibbs Accessing the Droid’s built-in support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync will cost users an additional $15 a month. (UPDATE: Gearlog is reporting that this isn’t true; according to the post, the additional $15 fee is for business account holders, not Exchange access.) While the charge...

By matt buchanan Hello, Moto These things are true about Droid: The camera's not great; the keyboard isn't mindblowing; Android 2.0 lacks the polish and multimedia prowess to completely match the iPhone. What's also true is that a killer design, Google's services, Android's exploding app ecosytem, pow...

By matt buchanan Well, It Would Be a Better Camera More controls! Yay! White balance, focusing mode, color and more. It's just too bad that on the Droid, the camera's completely unresponsive garbage. I don't know if it's software or hardware, so I'm mentioning in it both here and in our Droid review. Fix pleas...

By John Gruber A key advantage Apple has over many of its competitors is simple, consistent, worldwide branding.

By Stuart Miles Motorola might have been "allowed" to slap a user interface on the CLIQ (DEXT in the UK) but here, they haven't even been allowed so much as nuance.

The DROID by Motorola, which will be available on the Verizon Wireless network Nov. 6, will be the first smartphone to use the Android 2.0 operating system. The device, according to one analyst, is a threat to Apple's iPhone and Motorola's last best chance to thrive in the increasingly compe...

The Motorola CLIQ was a pretty big disappointment for me personally, but oh man does the Droid make up for it. Sure, there’s a little hype sprinkled in because this is the first Android 2.0 device I’ve had the pleasure of using, but once you move past the initial “wow” factor, the Droid really d...

By Michael Gartenberg At the end of the day, no one is going to out iPhone the iPhone.
