Engadget - DOES THE HANDSET OUTPUT HD??? Are there audio/video out jacks on the back of the dock, or is it just a single USB interface? Does the dock have an IR receiver, or anything to that extent?]]>Oct 28th 2009 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 28th 2009 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 28th 2009 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Nov 5th 2009 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/overall rating *** of 5.

Not as easy to use as the iphone in many ways.

1. Harder to edit text (more steps to do so, less intuitive.)

2. Some web pages are more limited than the same page on iphone. (and since it can't use 3G in my main location it's a LOT slower.)

3. camera/movie is not near as good as the iphone, due to much less light sensitivity. (I did a back to back duplicate video of my location, indoors then outside, and the iphone video showed clearly in areas where the Droid was totally black.)

4. Calendar was really really slow until I figured out I had to shut off the syncing with Google Calendar online. then it was much better.

5. However after doing that I was not able to access my Google calendar events through the Droid browser. But had no trouble doing so on the iphone.

6. I couldn't download the Droid Manual by using the Droid (link not available), but at the same site I had no trouble downloading it in a few seconds on the iphone. (I was trying to find out what the signal icon meant, that was showing on the Droid, upper left. it looks like an M, & it is supposed to be 3G for best signal.)
7. it was very difficult getting all of my calendar events loaded onto the Droid.

8. this site is trying to time me out for 'inactivity'. so end of review.

Pros:
better battery life so far, feels solid, I like the vibrate when touching screen on certain things

Cons:
in my area it's much slower access to internet than the iphone. iphone uses 3G here, but not Droid]]>Dec 17th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/]]>Oct 28th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 28th 2009 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 28th 2009 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 28th 2009 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 28th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 28th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/

I just looked at the price of a used unlocked 16GB 3G on ebay, and it's still hovering at around $400 :-o

Seems like eating that ETF and getting a Droid in your hot little hands might not effectively cost you a dime.

DOES ANYONE KNOW if Verizon has announced plan pricing for Droids? Is it a different pricing structure than their other smartphones? Link anyone?]]>Oct 28th 2009 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/

Also, this gets my vote for most disappointing unboxing ever. I was really looking forward to a talking mini R2D2. :(]]>Oct 28th 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 30th 2009 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 28th 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/Oct 28th 2009 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-unboxing/

You definitely need to find out pricing on the docks!! I'll want both car and desk if they're reasonable!

and what's up with this popping up below stories already published? lol, i have to scroll down to see new stories?
