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.

The Droid3 is available for $0.01 on Amazon through Verizon.

Motorola’s Razr brand was one of the most coveted slim phones way back, and two years ago, it was the turn of the Droid smartphone to become the company’s flagship model. Fast forward to present day – enter the Droid Razr  – combining the sleek profile of the Razr and the powerful features of the Driod as Motorola seeks to keep in step with leaders in the smartphone market.

Armed with Gingerbread and upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich, Motorola’s latest creation also boasts of top-notch hardware – 4.3-inch Super AMOLED advanced display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, support for 4G/LTE network and 8-megapixel rear camera.

While it’s powered by Android,. Motorola also threw in some goodies of its own – MotoCast, Webtop, and Smart Actions. MotoCast allows the fast sharing of media files to a home computer while Webtop gives the user more flexibility as you can dock it with compatible accessories such as a Lapdock, giving the user access to the phone via a desktop environment. Smart Actions is a user configurable command line that may prove useful in saving battery as it can, for example, automatically reduce brightness when battery is very low.

Touted as the thinnest 4G LTE smartphone, Droid Razr is also very durable as it’s scratch-resistant, water-resistant and has a Kevlar-coated exterior, making it suitable for the everyday grind.

The Motorola Photon 4G might be a little similar to the Atrix (AT&T), but it takes the spotlight with its speed and style.

Running on a dual-core 1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM, no doubt that this new baby really works fast, never mind the pre-loaded software that comes with it. It plays full HD video without the lag, starts the camera application in a snap, loads webpages quite quickly, and operates on Sprint’s 4G network as well.

It also runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, so one can just imagine how fast it is. The one thing that slows Photon down however is Motoblur, causing some lags in the desktop. To fix this, using a third-party launcher like Launcher Pro might help.

Photon does not only support leisure applications but also productivity ones. It has a pre-installed Quick Office, some apps for aggregating e-mails, and also presents the calendar into a nice layout.

Appearance-wise, it does not disappoint. It looks classy and futuristic with its chopped-off corners, producing an octagon-like shape. It has a rubberized back cover to keep it from sliding from your hands or on shiny surfaces. Its qHD screen produces rich colors and supports high-resolution phone use. To top it all, it has a dedicated camera button, which is quite new among Android phones to date.

For external accessories, just two of the slickest Photon add-ons around are the HDMI dock and the GPS dock for cars. With the HDMI dock the Photon operates like a real computer, where you can even edit a PowerPoint presentation.

Desktop replacement?

There’s the GPS dock, too. Put the phone on the dock, and enjoy HDTV and high-definition games right inside your car.

Basically the Photon 4G is one of the most innovative phones to come from Motorola since the Droid, and we’re looking forward to getting our hands on one.

• Processor: TI OMAP3630 1GHz
• Screen: 4.3″ capacitive multitouch LCD display 854×480 resolution
• 8 megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash
• weight: 155g
• 802.11 b/g/n wifi + bluetooth 2.1+EDR
• microUSB 2.0 + microHDMI
• GPS/A-GPS
• accelerometer, compass, proximity/light sensor
• microSD slot (up to 32GB) 16GB included
• 8GB internal memory
• OS: Android 2.1 (will be upgraded to 2.2)

As you can see this thing is a beast, and the 1GHz OMAP3630 processor is blazingly fast. Playing games, running apps and surfing the web on this thing is faster than anything before it, and is very enjoyable on the large screen. The screen is the same standard LCD as the original Droid, but with more pixels of course and remains one of the best and brightest available.

On the sides of the X you have the volume up/down rocker, microUSB, micro HDMI and bright red camera button.

If you thought the screen on the Evo 4G was big, you haven’t seen anything yet. Here’s a shot of the two:

It’s actually hard to hold this thing in one hand and touch the whole screen with your thumb. If you have small hands, or are a girl, you probably don’t want the Droid X. If you have large hands and want the fastest phone ever made with the largest screen, then you have to get the Droid X.

Gaming is excellent on the X with the 3-axis accelerometers and large screen. It comes preloaded wiht a Need for Speed trial but you can get many more from the Android Market built in.

The X runs Android 2.1 with a Motoblur skin that has social networking integrated into it as well. Once you sign into your facebook account it integrates your friends into your contact list including profile pic and numbers. This is pretty useful but can also be disabled if you want a nice clean contact list of only numbers that you actually need.

Android 2.1 includes 7 home screens that can be customized with widgets or apps, and the 2.2 update will add more functionality including full support for flash 10.1 which will be nice. In combination with the HDMI out this should allow for fullscreen streaming from HULU and the like.

One disappointing thing is the included Blockbuster app. It allows you to download movies to the phone (only over wifi) and then doesn’t let you watch them on a larger tv through the HDMI out. It’s basically a waste of space. The other included apps are nice though, such as Google maps with turn by turn navigation and the likes. The turn-by-turn also works very well and my GPS got a lock in less than 30 seconds every time. It works great with the optional car dock, which I’ll have a review up for also.

Call quality was great and I still haven’t lost 3G coverage (though I haven’t travelled with it very far). The great sound quality is due to the 3 microphones on the phone, one on the front and 2 on the back to aid in noise cancellation as well as directional audio when filming video.

The 8MP camera is great and the dual LED flash is very bright, almost comparable to a standard flash when less than 10 feet. After a picture is taken there is a built-in mini photoshop program that allows you to edit the photo’s contrast, color saturation, etc and add effects like black and white or color filters. The camera uses a manual shutter (one of the only that does) which allows for very fast picture taking and great quality.

Here’s a sample photo taken with the camera at 6MP with all settings on automatic.

As you can see the image is very sharp and I would say it’s one of the best smartphone cameras that I’ve used.

The software keyboard is massive and features multitouch which allows for very fast typing, but if you want the fastest way to type you’ll want to use Swype which is also included. Here’s a little video of typing with swype:

After you’ve used it for a couple of days you’ll never go back to normal typing. There’s also a microphone key on the keyboard which lets you just speak the words to input, a great feature to use while driving.

A 16GB microSD card is preinstalled in the phone when you get it, but can be upgraded to 32Gb. Internal storage is 8GB.

The battery life for the DroidX is what you would expect for something with a 4.3″ screen and 1GHz processor, not great. With heavy use you won’t see much over 4.5 hours, but with light use you’ll make it a full day with no problem.

Basically the DroidX is the biggest, fastest and best phone you can get (in my opinion). A smaller phone might suit your needs better, such as the Droid Incredible, but for me the X is the only way to go. It’s available exclusively from Verizon for $199 with a 2 year agreement.

The most hyped part of this phone is the MOTOBLUR software which puts all of your social networks on the home screen. It actually streams updates from Myspace, Facebook and Twitter without having to log in, keeping you updated real time to your friends tweets, statuses, pictures, etc. If you want information overload, this is it.

Of course the most unique part about this phone is that is opens backwards, allowing you to prop it up on a table for easy viewing of movies, tv shows, or your MOTOBLUR update stream. It also includes an onscreen keyboard so the phone is actually usable in this arrangement.

You can pick one of these up from AT&T for $0.01 with a new plan, $99 with a 2 year contract or $349 without either.

Price: $0.01

CNET calls the Droid’s 3.7-inch display “positively gorgeous” in its 4 out of 5 star review. Gizmodo calls the screen “the best one on an Android phone yet.” The Droid’s screen is slightly larger than the 3.5-inch screen on the iPhone 3GS, and has a much higher resolution: 854 x 480  compared to the iPhone’s 480 x 320.

Web Browser

What better usage of an incredible display than a great Web browser? Boy Genius Report posts a video showing the Web browser’s capabilities wherein it’s evident that the Droid knows its users will be drooling over the Web almost as much as they’ll be making phone calls.

Still, UMPC Portal found that the iPhone 3GS had a faster browsing speed — 12 seconds page loads as compared to the Droid’s 20 seconds.

Google Navigation

Much has been said about Google enhanced Navigation feature for Android 2.0. With turn-by-turn directions and voice capabilities, Google Navigation puts the heat on other non-Android smartphones and standalone GPS units. Watch out, though: Apple Insider claims Google Navigation may come to the iPhone.

Android 2.0

It’s the Droid’s secret weapon. The updated Android 2.0 stuns reviewers and makes for the Droid’s highest selling point. Crisper, clearer, and more mature, Android 2.0 will surely make all other smartphone OS’s quake.

THE BAD

Physicality

Since the reviews are early, there have yet to be many complaints about Motorola’s Droid, but that doesn’t mean it’s without flaws. The biggest complaint is the structure of the phone itself. It’s heavy, not quite pocket-sized, and the keyboard is difficult to muster. Its keys are flat and shallow making it difficult for hands of any size to properly whip out text.

THE VERDICT

As you can tell, the positives clearly outweigh the negatives in the early stages of the Droid. Launching November 6 and retailing at $199, Motorola’s Droid may bring Motorola back from relative obscurity and highlight the possibilities of what Google can do with the right manufacturer.

Price: $149.99
