Motorola Droid: A visual tour

At long last, the much-anticipated Motorola Droid is storming Verizon stores across the nation. Before you go out and buy one, check out the good and the bad about this exciting smartphone.

Notable new features in Android 2.0 make communication with your family, friends, and colleagues a breeze. You can now manage multiple e-mail accounts through your device, including Web-based and Exchange addresses (left image). Android 2.0 also synchronizes all of your contacts from these accounts and lists them in a simplified view called Quick Contact (middle image). Quick Contact creates a menu bar with easy-to-read icons that show your contacts' communication modes (e-mail, IM, text message, and so on). You simply tap on your contacts photo (pulled from Facebook), and the bar pops up, whether you are in your contact list, in e-mail, or even in your calendar. You can also view all of your e-mail accounts in a combined view on one page (right image).
