Motorola Droid makes appearance on Motorola’s site

droid-site-1

Uh… so much for an announcement event? Or Motorola just doesn’t know what the hell is going on (most likely the reason), because the Motorola Droid makes an official appearance on Moto’s U.S. site. It just might be that we were sent this direct link which isn’t meant to be public, but… you know how that’s going to work out. In any case, the Motorola Droid, which we have torn limb from limb (check for our preview tomorrow) is indeed a bad ass mama jama, but if you don’t want to wait for our preview, hit the jump for some screenshots!

P.S. Something to note is that the browser supports HTML5 and Motorola says Flash 10 support is coming in 2010. K.

Thanks, David!

    i’m not that clued up about phones…. but i was thinking… all (except htc tattoo) android phones so far have had a screen resolution of 320×480… so all (if not most) applications available in Android Market have been designed to function at this particular resolution… so what happens when you change the resolution of the screen? ie. the droid with a res. of 480×854…. will the applications still work?… i ask this, as it is the current ‘flaw’ with the HTC Tattoo, where most of the applications are not available from Android Market.

      This is why they don’t change the resolution of the iPhone. Every time a reviewer or online site claims that the next iPhone will have a higher resolution screen, I laugh. I am sure it will happen sooner or later, but it still cracks me up that they so casually think that a higher resolution screen is that easy… Palm designed it into WebOS from the beginning, which is brilliant.

    Does anyone know if Verizon will force consumers to get the data plan for this “droid” like they do with Blackberry, or will customers be able to just use the Wi-fi?

      Of course, there’s no point in having the phone without data. If you want to just use wi-fi, use a computer. You can get a free flip phone and save the money, the phone is pointless w/o the data.

    My only problem with this Droid is the fact that it is a Motorola phone. I have never owned one but my wife and brother have and have only had problems. Hopefully they fixed it.

    Does any one know for sure if you can tether either the Motorola or HTC Droid to a laptop for Internet like you can with a Blackberry? Verizon is giving me mixed responses.
