Overall, I like the Droid. The hardware design is merely par for the course; it’s well-made but has some rough edges. The hardware specs, however, combined with Android 2.0, makes this a good enough device to be a solid competitor to the iPhone 3GS. This is the hardware that Android should have shipped with. In some areas it is better, in some areas on par, and some areas slightly worse than the iPhone or other high end smartphones. But all of it is “just good enough.” It all depends on your preferences in phone features. If multitasking matters, the Pre and the Droid are your only choices. Droid lets you play music on Pandora, navigate, and check Twitter all at the same time, with no lag and no delays. If you’re looking for a media player phone or a camera phone, on the other hand, you might check elsewhere. It just comes down to the feature set you’re looking for.
I think the second revision of the Droid will improve on the hardware complaints, and by then Android will be beyond version 2.0. While the Droid is good, it’s just the beginning.
