Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 2 of 5  Bluetooth Voice Dialing DOES NOT work   2010-03-12
By R. Szeto (USA)
Let me start with the positive first. This phone has some really good apps and the large screen makes it a true iPhone killer. Here is the bad. Bluetooth voice dialing does not work and Motorola does not seem to care!!! This is a serious safety feature that is a must have in many states. In NYC, if you are caught using a cell phone while driving without using a hands free device, the violation ticket will set you back $135. I can't imagine a cell phone which does not support hands-free voice dialing! Until Motoralo wakes up and puts resources into fixing this product gap, I would suggest people NOT to buy this phone.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  A worthy alternative to the iphone   2010-03-12
By KAL-EL (Philadelphia, PA)
I actually owned an iphone (for about 4 days) had to take it back due to poor AT&T reception in my home. I thought that phone was the best user friendly phone I had ever owned. I hated having to take it back. At least intill I started using the Motorola Droid that is. The call quality on this phone is second to none as far as I am concerned. The screen is spacious and the speaker is fairly loud and more importantly, CLEAR! I dont normally keep the volume all the way up, but when I do, I feel a very minimal amount of distortion. As many others here have already mentioned, the physical keyboard is well, not very good. To me it feels very cramped. Doesn't help that the keys arent raised either. I am coming from a Blackberry Curve so the physical keyboard to me is a bit of a downgrade. it might not be so bad for others though. I am however slowly getting used to it though. its the physical keyboard that is actually holding me back from giving this phone 5 stars. Still, I wouldnt say the physical keyboard is a dealbreaker by any means. All of the phones pros far out weigh its major con (to me at least) Also have to admit the major reason I decided to get the Droid was because of Amazon's price, which as of this review is still $49.99 with a two year contract. All my local verizon stores still sell it for $199. I think its really great that there are now cheaper alternatives to buying phones at local stores for higher costs. is this phone perfect? No, but it is damned near close!
Customer rating is 5 of 5  awesome   2010-03-12
By Linna E. Mccarthy (Olympia, Wa)
I love this phone it is great I have had it for several months now and continue to be amazed.
Customer rating is 2 of 5  High hope. Very disappointing after a while.   2010-03-11
By Phoebe Sam (NY, USA)
Pros:
1. it's Verizon. Signal's strong everywhere I travel to.
2. very good GPS with Google Map.

Cons:
1. WARNING: NOT GOOD FOR EMAILS! It's been a very frustrating experience so far. I get Force Close error messages for almost all my email accts on this phone. First, it's the IMAP acct, then POP, now even my exchange account stopped working. It almost impossible to use this phone for business if you travel a lot because you CAN'T GET EMAILS. And when it worked, it doesn't recognize meeting invite, it sometimes confuses PDF attachment as video and won't open it, and it doesn't save attachment... Compare to this, my old Blackberry about 100 times better with emails. Anther thing: it doesn't work with Mac's Entourage very well, every email I SEND from this phone looks like an empty email when sync to my Entourage.
2. compare to iPhone, the UI is not as user friendly.
3. speaker sound quality is not as good as it claimed.
4. pictures taken from the 5 mp camera doesn't look as good as the ones taken from iPhone.

Overall, it's very disappointing. It's not worth the high price (i got it at $199 from Verizon store). There are so many important features don't function properly, it should be released to public after more testing.
Customer rating is 2 of 5  Sound quality is a deal breaker   2010-03-10
By M. Weber
Here is the bottom line and the deal breaker; the sound quality is un-acceptable. You will be able to hear callers very clearly, but you will sound muffled and hard to understand. I suggest you go to a Verizon store, call your voice mail system and leave yourself a message, then listen to it, compare it with other Android phones. Have tried it with atleast 4 different Droid phones at 3 different stores, same result.
