- First off, let me start off by saying I'm a Blackberry Storm 1 user..and since the upgrade in the OS, I can't see myself using another device anytime soon, except for the Storm 2, if I wasn't in a 2 year plan. I've been reading all these forums about the Moto Droid, and I must say, the software looks amazing! Especially the Google Maps program. I currently use Google Maps on my Berry, but this new version looks pretty slick. But the more and more I look at the device, I can't get past the design. I know some Droid fans are going to hate me for this, but I think the phone itself looks awful! I mean as far as looks is concerned, I have to admit the IPhone is the king in that department. And I feel as though the Storm is second when it comes to overall design. But the Droid looks like slimmer LG Dare with a slide out keyboard. Maybe if Motorolla/Google went with a pure touch screen, and not followed the footsteps of LG with a touch screen/qwerty keyboard combo, then I think its possible the phone could've looked better. Just my opinion.10-28-09 07:59 PMLike 0

- I didn't like the looks at first but the more I look at it the more I like it.
I guess it's learned love. Different strokes for different folk.
U won't get flamed here droid people prefer to take the high road.
Unlike rabid u Stormers

- Personally I think the Droid is **** ugly but thats just my opinion. The keyboard is ******** looking and the design just looks obtrusive and unrefined. I do like the looks of the software that it offers but I don't think I can get over the way the thing looks. I'm very interested the HTC HD2 which looks sexy and the software seems pretty amazing. It is rumored to hit Verizon at the end of this quarter or supposedly early next year first quarter. I have my eye on that one.10-28-09 08:31 PMLike 0
- I think the looks of the Motorola Droid is unique...the HD2 it's going to be way too big, that to me looks like a brick...seriously though, there's not much you can do design wise with an all touchscreen device...they all look the same, except for the Droid (although it does have physical keyboard which you don't even have to use and it's as thin as the iphone and thinner then the storm)...and that uniqueness is attractive in my opinion...but if you don't like the looks of it, no big deal...there will be more Droids coming out that will fit your needs10-28-09 08:37 PMLike 0

Perrier and bri' anyone10-28-09 08:40 PMLike 0 - I'm worried about the Droid's durability. It's incredibly difficult to manufacture something square with that large of a glass front and have the case not flex to the point where it cracks the glass. I'd be a lot more comfortable if they'd have curved off at least the corners. You've got a rectangular, mostly metal phone with a big honking thing of capacitive touchscreen glass in front --what happens if you drop it????10-28-09 09:33 PMLike 0

- I agree but I'm going to wait to see it in person. I have a feeling its going to be one of those phones that look better in person. The main thing I'm worried about is the keyboard. The keys look too flat and cheap.
