Connectivity

There are two sockets on the droid, a standard headphone jack, which surprisingly works well with iPhone ear-buts (i.e. on/off switch mutes the mic.) and a mirco-usb data access and charging socket. While I have plenty of mini-USB cables, I didn't have a single micro-usb cable; the one the Motorola has included is short and very inflexible.

Display

The 3.7" WVGA display (480x854 pixels) is impressive but unfortunately Android's UI is not really build for it, at least not yet. The icons (48x48 pixels) appear to be way too small now.

Keyboard

I understand that Motorola put a lot of time and energy in getting the Cliq's keyboard right. Unfortunately, nothing of the teams must not have been talking too each other. The droid's physical keyboard is hardly more useful than its on-screen virtual keyboard and most droid users will not be able to type as fast on the physical keyboards as iPhone users type on the display.

Buttons

The phone has four physical buttons, and four touchscreen buttons just below the display. As one would expect, the physical buttons are the power button which is way too small, tho. A volume rocker, which is on the wrong side (right), and a camera shutter button. The touchscreen buttons the made possible by extending the touchscreen beyond the display and their haptic feedback really rocks.

Camera

The 5MP digital camera is probably the weakest part of the Motorola droid, delivering 5 mega-pixel of noise even when used at best lighting conditions. Some unedited iPhone and Moto Droid shots can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolfpaulus/sets/72157604509087860/

Conclusion

The Moto droid is most likely the best Android phone currently available and geeks and developers will love it. However, when compared to the iPhone, the droid lacks basic functionally and user-friendliness we are now so accustomed to. If Google really wants to push Android, it needs to continue to develop the basic applications like mail, calendar, etc. to a point where they are at least as good at what Apple includes with the iPhoneOS. Like it or not, the iPhone OS and the included apps are the baseline now and basic everyday Android applications like Mail and Calendar are plain ugly.
