Motorola Droid 3

Motorola Droid 3

The Droid 3 is the latest in the Droid series, known for their slide-out keyboards. The Droid 3 has the same great keyboard as earlier models, but packs a faster dual core 1Ghz processor and Android 2.3. The camera has been improved as well up to 8MP with autofocus and flash, and there are also built-in editing features such as brightness, cropping, enhance etc.

The screen is a 4 inch qHD (960×540) AMOLED so everything looks great on it, and the camera also shoots video in 1080p which looks great.

This phone is really made with the business user in mind. The calendar widget is setup to work great from landscape mode and even shows weather.

It also features complex password controls, remote data wipe and by default all data is encrypted. This phone is definitely aimed at stealing corporate users from Blackberry. Will they succeed? We’ll have to wait and see.
