Well, being Black Friday, I went to Best Buy today, and for about 40 seconds,
I held a non-working Motorola Droid hardware model.
Now, this is really what I hate about BestBuy, none of the phones on display work,
so this doesn’t give people a feel of what they’re buying, contrary to an AT&T or Apple Store. (I haven’t said any other names, because I’ve never went into a Verizon, Sprint, etc. store, so I can’t just say they have working models on display)
But I looked at the droid, and it was everything I didn’t excpect.
Screen that ads make look big and really isn’t that huge, check.
Really, really, really terrible feeling keyboard (maybe that’s because it’s a non-work model, but either way I’d be uncomfortable with it), check.
I think I’ll go try my hand with an HTC.. those boys look sweet. The HD2 (which looks the best to me), unfortunately runs Windows Mobile, but hey, hopefully it’s better than the desktop OS. And HTC Sense will probably cover up all the Windows Mobile.
I don’t think you’d find me walking around with a Palm phone, simply because I’m just not that crazy about Palm. The Pre didn’t offer much besides iPhone, but phones like the HD2, offers plenty more to explore, e.g. a 5 MP camera, a huge screen, etc. And no, the DROID’s screen don’t feel that huge because it’s iPhone size. But maybe I just need to spend more time with a real working model of a DROID.
