Though it wasn’t the first phone to run Android, the Motorola Droid is the handset that put Google’s mobile operating system on the map. Two iterations later we sit with the Motorola DROID 3 the latest take on the QWERTY slider with some of the biggest changes to the line we have seen to date.
The Motorola Droid 3 upgrades the hardware of its predecessors in nearly every way, and does it in a form factor that feels fresh while retaining the classic Droid look. A dual-core 1GHz TI OMAP 4 chipset runs the show here, offering superb speed and responsiveness.
The extra size and weight allowed Motorola to fit the phone with a 4-inch, qHD (540 x 960 pixel) touchscreen display and a wonderful 5-row QWERTY keyboard. From my perspective, this is the best QWERTY keyboard found on an Android smartphone today.
The power button and 3.5mm headphone jack are up top, and the volume control is on the right hand edge, above where one might hope to find a camera shutter button.
The 8 megapixel camera with LED flash is located on the back and an empty microSD memory card slot can be found under the rear cover.
The DROID 3 has 16GB of internal storage, so it's not a problem that the memory card slot is unoccupied and it's nice to know that you can bump up the phone's storage to 48GB by inserting a 32GB card.
