HOw is the New Motorola Droid does it have any Flaws
I've used the Motorola Droid on several occasions, and I must admit that it is a pretty strong competitor to the Apple iPhone. However, after reading my pros and cons list, you will see why I would choose the iPhone over the Droid any day.
Here is a video tour of the Motorola DROID, complete with unboxing!
Last week, this elite phone was available at a remarkable price - Amazon.com sold it for 1 cent, with a two-year service contract with Verizon Wireless, the only carrier that offers the model. Of course, the stock was drained almost instantly. For now, Amazon is charging $199.99, and the phone is back-ordered with a nine-day wait for shipping. You can get it overnight from Verizon Wireless, but you’ll pay a premium price of $299.99.
One thing about this phone is old-school - its name. The original Razr, a flip phone that rolled out in 2004, was Motorola’s most popular phone ever, with 130 million sold. The reincarnated Droid Razr is a sleek slab of aluminum, hardened glass, and Kevlar, the stuff they use in body armor. No, the phone won’t stop a slug, but it feels as if it could. Yet except for a bulge on the upper edge, where you’ll find front- and rear-facing cameras, the Razr is just over a quarter-inch thick, making it much thinner than an iPhone.
This sliver of a phone packs a dual-core processor running at 1.2 gigahertz, compared with the 1 gigahertz chip in the iPhone 4s. It’s not noticeably faster than the iPhone, but a lot zippier than my current Android handset, and any other I’ve tried. And thanks to the Razr’s use of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, its online performance is outstanding. I got the usual LTE performance - about 11 megabit-per-second downloads, quite good enough for high-quality video viewing, and uploads of about five megabits.
As MobileBurn points out, the update is gradually rolling out to Verizon customers over the air, with everyone expected to be upgraded to Android 2.1 before next week.
If you can’t wait any longer though, we have a step-by-step guide for you to follow, which takes around three minutes if you know what you are doing.
Credit goes to DROID-Life for the tutorial – plenty of DROID owners will be needing this we reckon. If you want to give it a try, you’ll find the link below, let us know if it worked for you, so others can follow.
