Well, Droid is admittedly quite a nice phone, so maybe you don’t want to totally forget about it, and it’s OK, you don’t have, I mean, just take a look at this Droid Incredible, and then it’s you call to forget the MOTO Droid or not.

Motorola DroidFinally the Motorola Droid ($200 with a two-year contract) is storming Verizon stores and ready to take over the mobile world. You’ve seen those menacing “iDon’t” commercials. You’ve heard the buzz. But before you rush to your local Verizon outlet and enlist in the Droid army, take a look at what thrilled us—and what disappointed us—about this much-hyped smartphone.

The first time you pick up the Motorola Droid , you’ll notice its solid feel and heft–there’s a lot going on behind the crisp, 3.7-inch touchscreen. Making good use of Android 2.0’s new features, the Droid is a powerful Web surfing and communications tool that has a chance of living up to its hype. The Droid’s biggest flaw, however, is in its hardware design: The keyboard is shallow and flat, which can make typing uncomfortable.

At 0.54 inch thick, the Droid is slightly beefier than the 0.48-inch-thick iPhone 3GS, but it still has room for a 40-key, slide-out QWERTY keypad. At just under 6 ounces, it’s about an ounce heftier than the iPhone 3GS. When closed, the 4.56-by-2.36-inch Droid is almost the same size as the 4.5-by-2.4-inch iPhone 3GS.

Motorola is quick to point out that the Droid’s 480-by-854-pixel display offers 409,920 pixels, more than double the 153,600 pixels that the 480-by-320-pixel, 3.5-inch screen on the iPhone 3GS offers. The Droid’s resolution also compares well against that of Android 1.6-based phones such as T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G, which has a 3.2-inch, 480-by-320-pixel display.

So now, do you want to buy it or not?
