Just got the Motorola Droid – First Thoughts

Alright while this isn’t really a review of the Motorola Droid, I want it to be a quick overview of somethings I have noticed so far with it.

I really love this phone, which it’s hard to call it a phone because it just does so much. I have just started using it as of 30 minutes ago, and already have gone on Facebook and synced up every single person in my contacts, and they are now in my  phone, ready for me to call or drunk text whenever. This feature alone blew me away because honestly who doesn’t want every person on their Facebook to be in there phone?

Another great thing is I can connect to my local internet connection, which I’m sure every other smart phone can do too, but just to be able to do that is great because I don’t have to wait around the 3G, which while it’s fast it’s not as fast as my home connection so why should I wait an extra 4 seconds to watch a youtube video? Actually I don’t know, it could be an extra 4 minutes with the 3G, I haven’t really used the 3G that much yet.

The keyboard is also fantastic, both the touch and the solid, hard one as well. I have been using the actual keyboard more, just because it’s really easy to use and while the software keyboard is good, it’s just really cramped in the portrait angle so it makes me nervous I’ll hit the wrong key (which I have done a bit thus far with the software keyboard.)

One final thing I wanted to touch base on is the marketplace to get apps, holy shit-tank-turkey-loving-jew! There are a lot of FREE applications that I can download. Forget about the iPhone with it’s many many apps, I can get just about anything I want, for free. While there are paid apps which I would imagine are pretty nice, I don’t see myself needing to pay for one, but just in case I do, the most expensive one I saw so far was only $5. OH BY THE WAY, THIS PHONE HAS FREE GPS THAT KICKS A JEWS ASS!!!!

Anyway that’s really all I have so far, expect a full review later this week after I have played around with it some more. But so far I have to give this a 95% I just hate the fact that I’m paying $90/month for this. But oh well it seems to be worth it.
