This highly-anticipated smartphone was just released by Verizon. This phone is the answer to Apple’s Iphone and the specs are quite impressive. You know this phone has to be pretty amazing if Google, Verizon and Motorola collaborated to produce it. The phone runs on the Android 2.0 operating system. The retail value for this phone is $199.99 and requires a two-year contract.

My favorite feature on the phone is multi-tasking capabilities. Users should know that if you attempt to cancel the contract within the two-year commitment, you will be billed $350 (seriously). If using the Microsoft Exchange email server, you will have to subscribe to an additional data plan in addition to the regular unlimited data plan. It’s an exceptional phone on an exceptional network. As always, if you have any feedback on the Droid, I’d love to hear it! Feel free to post it here!
“… the Droid is the most sophisticated mobile device to hit the market to date from a hardware standpoint.”
