[fowskate]

[Warriorcats98]

[marquesbrownlee]

[techtubecentral]

@marquesbrownlee wait you can still be a partner if you have copyrighted content but you just cant have adds on that video?? SWEET!

[chemino5]

Dude you have awesome vids man! plus the song at the end is nice im subscribing

[marquesbrownlee]

@chemino5 Thanks! I'm glad you liked it =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@LittleHack I'm 16. Glad you liked my review =]

[LittleHack]

i duno how old u r dude, but you defently do ur homework. Really well done video. just little things like "cyborg" noise on the background (which im sure most people didnt notice) was nice. Keep it up

[ZGODOMEGAHALO]

DROID>IPHONE 3GS

[fishyy15]

@ZGODOMEGAHALO IPHONE 4S > droid (By far)

[ZGODOMEGAHALO]

@fishyy15 Droid, Galaxy S2, HTC AMAZE all PWN IPHONE. ANDROID>IPHONE.

[ZGODOMEGAHALO]

@fishyy15 Plus u do realize this phone came out two years ago.

[hdkamin]

@fishyy15 ...yeah and the iphone 4s came out this week, as the droid came out two years ago..... clearly the droid is worse. however when you compare the new DROID BIONIC, to the iphone 4s, then you have a real battle.

[PSPReviewMan]

Well i have to tell you that was the best review I have ever seen for a piece of technology in the past 10 years. You speak extremely well and i actually enjoyed watching the video. Went right into very useful information, and not things that we most likely already know. 5 stars and a new sub.

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it =]

[GarrysMonster]

MKB idk if you can answer both of my questions but we'll see.

1) Does this sell at the Phone Company USCellular?

2) How much does the droid cost?

[marquesbrownlee]

@GarrysMonster

1 -- This is a Verizon only phone.

2 -- This is a $200 phone with a Verizon contract

[CodGlitcher97]

What shops sell it

[kiDjAYTEE]

@CodGlitcher97

Price Chopper . CVS . & Staples ;D

[CodGlitcher97]

thanks

[LMacNeill]

Good review -- thanks for posting that. The biggest complaint I have about my Droid is the lack of Bluetooth-activated voice-dialing. And I don't get nearly as much battery-life as you said you got... But overall, I'm quite happy with my Droid.

[marquesbrownlee]

Sweet - I'm glad you liked this review!

[Moonface00z]

Droid owns Iphone 3gs in business ...

iphone 3gs is just a fun phone

[marquesbrownlee]

I agree! DROID is a beast of a multitasking business phone.

[iHackTV]

Wow this was a great review bro luved it btw im getting this phone

[marquesbrownlee]

@iHackTV Glad you liked it - you'll love the DROID!

[AmberChristiano]

You can win Motorola Droid at Gadgetton. com. You are lucky! terrific video...

[marquesbrownlee]

@AmberChristiano Thanks =]

[930726106009]

Whats the song played at the end of the video?

[marquesbrownlee]

Kids - MGMT

[PowerTorsk]

You didn't mention ANY bad things...? Are there any at all?

Btw, I would've liked to see some web browsing in a review of a smartphone, as it is a very much used aspect of smartphones in general.

Otherwise this is a great review. Not too much boring time with the box and the hardware part of the phone like other people do. Good job!

[marquesbrownlee]

I couldn't really think of too many cons about the phone lol

Thanks for the kind words - I worked for a while on this review =]

[rhythm188]

pretty nice review video of this phone!

im just about to get one of these.

i wonder is there any way you could unlock this phone, i mean unblock which would make you can use other cellphone provider as well?

[marquesbrownlee]

So far this is locked into Verizon's EVDO 3G network and Wifi

[whgp]

I've heard that it has an image search feature, and by that i mean taking a pic with the phone then search informations from the web about the pic u just took with a modified face recognition feature. and it takes the the main part of the pic. (i think)

Is that true ?

[marquesbrownlee]

This is true with an application called "Google Goggles"

[TechTechManTV]

The camera was very shitty inside but outside it was better than my iphone.

[TechTechManTV]

@TechTechManTV LMAO why am I like commenting 10 times? Ok ill just help u with comments. The camera is better than my iphone tho cuz it has zoom. I have 2 of those voice apps. You didn't cover google goggles in this video =o coolest part of the phone xP

[marquesbrownlee]

Google Google is so badass... I barely use it, but when I do... My gawd it's powerful

[TechTechManTV]

@marquesbrownlee Lol it kept failing inside cuz the camera is bad inside. I took a pic of my phone and it brought up ilife 2010 :P And maybe not 11% idr it was like a week ago.

[TechTechManTV]

Also dude, at like 5 pm my aunt had it like 11% left.. not 100...

[marquesbrownlee]

I don't know how you had 11% because DROID battery counts in 5% incriments lol

Your aunt is either a power user or was watching YouTube videos all way lol

[TechTechManTV]

My aunt has this phone, heaviest phone I've ever held in my life.

[marquesbrownlee]

It's quite a heavy phone for something so thin - it's quite a beast though =]

[Arlenamadra]

heii really need somebody to talk to , really bored today

[marquesbrownlee]

ROFL

[elfsboorg]

is "motorolla" a new company?

nah,just kidding.the droid looks AWESOME!

[marquesbrownlee]

Yeah that's the main typo lol

[TheWillis2000]

It's still going to be the iphone's b%t%h at the end of the day. The next iphone will smoke it old off the water then what droid?

[marquesbrownlee]

If you say so... but there is no 'next iPhone,' so until then, it's VZW and the DROID all the way.

[suzie1016]

who won the giveaway???

[Salacon]

It's driving me crazy: What's that song that plays at the end of the video?

And to be more on topic: I enjoyed the review. Good job!

[marquesbrownlee]

Kids - MGMT

[bibby42]

awesome review!

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks!

[mrjubjub521]

[marquesbrownlee]

Well I hope you get it haha

[tighmir]

are you effing serious? you used it the whole day and the battery lasted that long???? no way!!! I gotta get this phone... im a big phone freak in school... haha...

[marquesbrownlee]

Yep. Battery life is insane.

[tighmir]

dang... thanks man...

[elovesh]

Good review! You videos are getting better and better!

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks man!

[kzahid06]

Nice video. Keep up the good work as always.

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks, man! Glad you liked it =]

[oliver18754]

In that last lockergnome screencast that Chris posted recently, what theme was that? That's what I'm asking.

[marquesbrownlee]

I was not using any thtmes.

[oliver18754]

Hey, what mac-for-windows theme did you use in that recent screencast video you did? Check lockergnome's channel for details.

[marquesbrownlee]

I'm not using any themes. I'm running Windows 7 Home PRemium

[kaveack]

o i 4got to ask if it has the VCAST TV?

[marquesbrownlee]

You can get that app free in the App store.

[kaveack]

do it support flash?

[marquesbrownlee]

Not within the browser. But you can watch YT videos, etc on the phone anway. Streaming media is not a problem.

[ristar600]

wait... why even include a qwerty on a touchscreen? i have the spring instinct and it runs great without one.

either way... THAT IS ONE HUGEASS BATTERY!!! i mean that is some insane battery life! how much talktime does it get?

[marquesbrownlee]

Some people don't like the real keyboard - I guess they would jjust offer it to people if they want it or not!

Battery life is insane. I think talk time is 33 hours, but I have to doublecheck.

[ristar600]

my bro has the razr, i think you just multiplied his battery life by 13.

[marquesbrownlee]

Haha I guess so!

[nachosam98]

@ristar600 hey i have sprint too! but i have the rant :/ my sister broke her instinct 4 times lol

[possomcrast]

i meant other than the droid

[marquesbrownlee]

I can hardly think of any lol - The Sidekick?

[possomcrast]

wats the other thinest slider

[marquesbrownlee]

The DROID is the thinnest slider with a QWERTY keybaord

[Daikirai432]

I have one question are games and apps almost the same or similiar to the iphone

[marquesbrownlee]

Yep. Some are even exclusive to Android and better!

[Daikirai432]

@marquesbrownlee nice I might get it.

[marquesbrownlee]

Sweet! It's a great phone - you won't regret it!

[cynister1994]

You should do a giveaway, that would bring so many more viewers to your channel! Just a thought :)

[marquesbrownlee]

I'm hosting a giveaway right now! Check out my channel =]

[planetpatrick]

then why ws ther a artical on it lol

[marquesbrownlee]

I agree!

[KhldVideo]

HTC and iPhone Rocks

[marquesbrownlee]

Even though this isn't HTC or Apple ... I partially agree ; )

[mattob775]

I think the Droid wont be better than the iPhone but it will be pretty good.

[marquesbrownlee]

I can respect your opinion, trough my disagreement ; )

[videomaker180]

If I could describe this Review in one word it would be "Exceptional"

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks! I appreciate it =]

[elfsboorg]

finally the DROID! ;)

[marquesbrownlee]

Epic win.

[davomrmac]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks man! =]

[HowToAndMore]

Awesome review! I could watch hours of reviews and tricks about the Motorola Droid. For the past few weeks I've been watching and learning everything to do with this phone and out of all the reviews I've watched, this one is definitely up there. I have a couple questions. Do you use this phone for music? If so, how do you like the music player on the Droid? I am really looking forward to getting this phone sometime soon and was hoping it would replace my ipod. Thanks!

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks for the feedback! I hope you get it, man!

[wveal88]

The Droid kicks my LG Vu's ass. I'm so pissed that its only on Verizon. I use AT&T.

[marquesbrownlee]

I agree - if you ever finish up with AT&T, you know what carrier to go around to =]

[naryanr]

really impressive phone, probably the best on the market, but i really didn't like the quality of the camera at all, yet a lot of people think it's great. (0_o)

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks, man!

I think the camera quality is hit or miss. In good lighting photos look like a dedicated digital camera. They're great.

[iTalkApple]

great review! If i was on verizon i would definitely get the droid :)

[techreviewz4u]

@iTalkApple same here. Im on T-Mobile though. Samsung Gravity.

[harlscomputershow]

it is on Verision.... but Wireless

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks for the feedback! And yea, Verizon is a definite GO if you ever get around to the end of your current carrier's contract =]

[macintoshtipz]

nice review...

this phone just doesnt impress me; the camera was really the only bad ass feature that blows the iPhone out of the water (tap to focus is really good though) after that..its all good

btw..did u see their solution to fixing the battery door falling off?

if your on verizon...get this phone..best option

[marquesbrownlee]

If you're on Verizon nothing even comes close to the DROID.

And my battery door's never come off, so can't relate.

[Co0lFlame]

your cam has a dead pixel

[marquesbrownlee]

That's correct. Waiting for an email reply from Sanyo to get a replacement unit.

[planetpatrick]

other planets? wtc? ya meteor is better dan verizon :)

ha ha lik wat macintoshtips said, hav u seen ther *fix* for the battery door coming off?

[marquesbrownlee]

The battery door never coems off lol

[WWCFamily]

Great review. You rreally should be a partner!

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks! I agree =]

[iDude94]

Dude i just wanna say your videos got soo professional and i really enjoy watching them keep up the good work and that partnership will be yours soon, maybe as a christmas present :) haha

[digitup1100]

dito

[marquesbrownlee]

Sweet

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks man! I certainly hope so =]

[iDude94]

not-a-problem haha

[dominiquemclauchlin]

GREAT REVIEW

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks! Glad you liked it =]

[JojoTheJoCpuMaster]

I REALLY REALLY WANT A CAMCORDER or the wii or the ps3 lol. (Im not spoiled because usually I don't get nothing for christmas =\)

[marquesbrownlee]

Go for the camcorder! It's quite good =]

[JojoTheJoCpuMaster]

Yeah I'm actually saving money for it but it's hard for me to save because I always see money in my face waiting to be used but then I'm like "NO NO! don't even think about it!"

[marquesbrownlee]

If you save long enough and convince yourself not to buy anything you dont actually need [this is what I do] you will be able to get it in no time!

[JojoTheJoCpuMaster]

Well yeah...especially that I get an allowance like 20$ a week and I get paid in my job 80$ a week for only 2 hours in weekdays (all I do is watch TV there and help out with the kids).

[marquesbrownlee]

That's a good job for that money - just save save save until you can buy buy buy!

[digitup1100]

then you get something (double negative!)

[marquesbrownlee]

Very true haha

[JojoTheJoCpuMaster]

Lol your right, especially in total it would be $100 dollars a week and I could buy a very expensive and awesome camcorder by saving in like only 1 month.

[marquesbrownlee]

Very true.

[gadgetgal38]

i want the blackberry storm 2!

[marquesbrownlee]

Check out Jon4Lakers' video comparing the DROID to the Storm 2. It might change your mind!

[XVSProductions]

Wow great review and narration. It makes me want to get a Droid so badly, too bad I'm on T Mobile :(

5/5 though!

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks!

I recommend punching T-Mobile in the face and switching to Verizon =]

[duncan33303]

Great video, one of your best. Quality of the camera was really great, and the entire thing was very professional. Great job!

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks, man! This camcerder has really been working out well.

[RandomMac5]

orange

[marquesbrownlee]

Yellow

[RandomMac5]

@marquesbrownlee yer, i have an iphone and i think its better

[TheAustinRichey]

This is definitely one of your most professional videos. Good Job!

[marquesbrownlee]

Thnks man! =]

[patten08]

The Droid is ok. But, I prefer the iPhone.

[marquesbrownlee]

I can respect that =]

[CMDProductionsTM]

hey man, great vid. Just a tip, if you have audio controls on your computer or camera your recording on, see if theres a config for echo or reverb and turn it down. hope it helps =) keep it up!

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks for the feedback man.

[iBellix]

Great Video. I thought with the beginning you could have started earlier. I guess I just miss your voice. Love your style. LP FTW

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks man! And yes. That's EXACTLY who taught me how to make videos like these =]

[SniperShot891]

Great video!! Keep up the good work!

[marquesbrownlee]

Thanks mate =]

[agentx3]

Marques...please...keep your personal opinions out of your videos. Please. By this, I mean "YEAH THIS PHONE IS AWESOME EVERYTHING ELSE FUCKING SUCKS" and I know I'm exaggerating, but just please. Do it.

[alex2974]

@agentx3 All review videos have personal opinions. Get over it.

[agentx3]

@alex2974 Yeah, but he's bashing. Just admit that now.
