Motorola Droid
Well this isn’t reassuring. These remarks from the review of the Motorola Cliq talk of poor signal and audio.
I’m assuming VZW’s Motorola Droid will have some of the same internals kind of like an assembly line, use the same basic design just swap out some carrier specific components
I have been eagerly awaiting this VZW Motorola Android device, I sure hope it turns out better than TMO’s.

Signal
In a word, horrid. Where I live and tested this phone, there is ample 3G coverage from T-Mobile, yet the CLIQ barely connected to T-Mobile's 3G network. Most of the time, it fell back to EDGE. This made for terrible web and data performance. A phone such as the CLIQ needs 3G all the time to really be useful. O

I wouldn't put to much stock into those issues. First is signal....We are talking tmobile vs. Verizon, plus they are two totally different technologies so I wouldn't worry about anything in there. As far as sound/volume... that is personnel prefrence,I have had a ton of phones I thought were plenty loud that people complained about. plus you always have vibrate for when you are in loud places... If you have been waiting I would just brush this review off... Droid coming the 30th so your wait is almost over 😁

I know, I know.
I've dumped all my extra cell phones on Ebay to pay for the Droid.
I know Motorola has put out some crap lately but I'm still a fan of the Moto's that weren't crap.
And I've been wanting to jump on the Android band wagon for a little while now.
So...Moto, Android, VZW I'll give it a try. 😎

The looks are not the deal-breaker, the deal breaker is the fact that it's made by Motorola.
Never. Ever. Again.

well they sold a gagillion razrs so somebody must have been happy with something, if only briefly. i personally think their phones have the best reception of any manufacturers out there.
...
The RF section works fine.
And you can't count sales numbers as "being happy" considering that you own the thing for the term of the contract whether or not you really like it.
I will admit that the original razr was a good phone. But from that point, they became cheaper and klunkier.

From what I read, the Cliq and the Droid are pretty different devices.
As for the cellphone ringer.. I'd be very suprised if it was quiet. motos on verizon are loud, and smartphones are loud, so we'll see. (and why in the world would you care how a speakerphone sounded in a bar?)

If the pictures floating around the Internet hold true the VZW Droid will have the directional keypad on the right of the QWERTY keyboard. Unlike the Cliq which has it on the left. 😕
I think on the right will be better. 🙂

that and the fact that the droid looks nothing like the cliq. BGR had a sneakphoto of the front on twitter....and the android 2.0 screenshots on BGR were more than likely taken of the droid. looks good.
...
I have a Samsung Omnia and the speakerphone is completely useless, it's literally no louder than the regular ear piece.
...
Here's a little video of, I assume the Moto Droid powering on. 👀

At first I was like what the heck, just remember it's a phone powering on. No more VZW tone either. 😲

not if it is made by motorola!! they are the worse phones, never had one that didnt freeze up or act sluggish all the time
...
I hope so. I haven't looked but is the Droid going to have an memory card slot? 😕
...
Thanks for the info! And I guess you found your answer on the expandable memory. I'm impressed with what I'm seeing so far.
