Motorola Droid First Impressions

DROID!

when everything doeesnt....
Droid DOES

Compared to iPhone, you can call it a lag, watch the movement, the reaction os the shell etc. I wonder why they cant make a phone as smooth and snappy as iPhone, although it has a less powerful hardware than Droid, HD2 etc

Having played with the droid there is some slow or jerkiness. Like I said, it's mainly in the browser and the notification panel seems to freeze for about a second when you bring it down but the phone is overall responsive and quite usable. I think these could be fixed in a software update. The iphone has the same processor as the droid, in fact it runs 50mhz faster; remember also that the droid's screen is much higher resolution.

Because Apple makes their own hardware and software and they can get things just right with the sensor on the phone that makes it move smoothly like that.

I still prefer the Droid. It scrolls good and it's powerful.

Apple doesn't make their hardware, they get the parts from the same manufacturers as everyone else. They only make the design.

Yeah.

And the Droid DOES smooth as fluid as iPhone. Except Android decided to make the screen move faster than slower and not have that bounce effect at the end of the screen.

That's why iPhone looks more fluid than any other phone.

do you like the droid? Im stuck between this and the blackberry tour.

Cool, i was just at verizon and was messing around with the phone and i really like it. I should be getting it next month and i cant wait. The one they had on display was laggy but im sure thats becuase they leave it on for a freakin whole day and have everybody messin with it so i know the one i get will be fast. I wonder though if this phone supports .gif type wallpapers???? If you know reply.

there is a lens cover he probably took it off to make it look better as he was unboxing it:)
