Re: New phone coming out... the Motorola Droid

There are three contenders in the race for my next phone:

- The Motorola Droid (downside: only 528mhz processor, bound to be sluggish for playing videos etc. Upside 3.7" screen and physical keyboard)
- The Acer Liquid (downside: no keyboard, but 1ghz snapdragon
Tut... the processor is the same as used in the Palm Pre and the iPhone 3GS... it's not all about mhz you know. It's fast.

The Nokia N900 is similar to the phones you listed above, you may want to give that a look as well... altho it's not Android, it's Maemo (Symbian successor)

http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/
Problems I have with the N900...
  • Maemo is not going to be anywhere near as big as the other leading competitiors. It's slick, but it has a limited future in my opinion. App support will be slow, and will never come close to Android. Android literally is the future now, it's going to be huge, really huge.
  • Resistive touchscreen. No matter how "sensitive" they are made, they will never be as finger friendly or as responsive as a capacitive screen. Yes, they are marginally more accurate, but this was only really useful for Windows Mobile... the average person now has no need for a stylus. And even so, you can now get stylus for capacitive screens, so the point is moot.
