    Motorola Droid Google Navigation:


    Conclusion:
    Android 2.0 may not offer all the power and robustness that pro Windows Mobile users have grown accustomed to, but for many people the platform does its purpose–and does it well in offering a refined, cohesive user interface that blends the hardware and software together in an elegant package. It is more open than the iPhone as a platform, combines the best from Windows Mobile, the Palm Pre (Synergy), and connected features from the MOTO BLUR and the HTC customizations on the Hero to enable native Exchange support. The device is the right step in Android’s evolution and offers a more cohesive UI and user experience compared to the aging Windows Mobile platform. Android is definitely designed for touch and you can see that throughout the entire OS.

    The device is one of the best on the market today. Strong software, potent hardware that makes Android zippy and not feel sluggish, and great marketing buzz from Verizon and Motorola will probably make this one of the more successful products on the market today. Welcome back, Motorola, to the big leagues. This is definitely Motorola’s come back phone, Verizon’s iPhone and Pre competitor, and Google’s emergence into a basic corporate-capable operating system.

    Pros:
    -Multiple Exchange accounts supported
    -Gorgeous FWVGA cinematic 16:9 display
    -Large display at 3.7 inches doesn’t feel too big thanks to the widescreen format
    -Loud speakers
    -Google Maps with Navigation offers free turn by turn voice guidance for GPS navigation
    -Faster browser than on previous generations of Android OS
    -Contacts well integrated with communications (like Palm Synergy)
    -Google Voice support is awesome!
    -Google Voice Search for Internet searching and GPS navigation so you don’t have to type
    -Touch friendly capacitive touchscreen is bright even in direct sunlight

    Cons:
    -GMail and Email apps can be confusing, should integrate into one app
    -No Exchange email searching
    -Enterprise support
    -Some apps may not be compatible
    -Requires a GMail account for full features to be operational
    -Camera photo quality could be better

    Quick Summary:
    This is the Android handset to beat if you’re in the Android market. If you’re not in the Android market, the hardware on this device is compelling enough where it will still be the handset to beat in terms of build quality.
