I have high hopes for Motorola DROID, hoping that it would turn out to be a real iPhone-killer but I was left disappointed after watching PhoneDog’s side-by-side comparison of Motorola DROID and iPhone 3GS earlier today. Read on and learn what I have discovered.
Motorola DROID VS iPhone 3GS: Bad news for Android fans, iPhone is winning
1. Motorola DROID is poorly designed
Sure, Motorola DROID looks cool at a glance but the above video has revealed some imperfections in its design. PhoneDog has discovered that Motorola DROID’s sliding mechanism (to help users access the QWERTY keyboard) has no spring-assistance and it takes some effort to slide open the keyboard. If that is not enough to disappoint you, PhoneDog even discovered that Motorola DROID’s slider is wobbly!
2. Motorola DROID’s 5-megapixel camera takes forever to start up
Sure, the specs say that Motorola DROID has a 5-megapixel camera, giving you more megapixels than iPhone 3GS. But what’s the point of having a camera when it takes forever to start up? (It’s all there in the above video)
3. Motorola DROID is buggy and sluggish
Motorola proudly announced that their new Motorola DROID is the world’s first Android 2.0-powered smartphone.
Cool! But hey! What’s up with the sluggish performance?
You can see from the above video that PhoneDog experienced some problems accessing Motorola DROID’s 5-megapixel camera. In the end, the application that gave him problems went crashing!
This is totally unacceptable for a brand new smartphone that comes from a well known manufacturer. [Shaking my head]
Note:
This is just part 1 and PhoneDog has more to share in the future. Wonder what sort of problems we’re going to see next.
