The Verizon Motorola Droid phone running on the Google Android platform is going to be available on November 6 to Verizon customers. We are lucky to receive a review unit just before the launch. Below is a short video unboxing the DROID.
In the mean time I have been playing with this phone for a couple of hours and it is growing on me. The interface is very easy to use. I only had to move the Phone Icon to the home page for easier and quick access to the phone. Reaction time between switching screens, application and Landscape orientation is really, really fast.
The android platform is indeed a very customizable platform which gives me with each screen new surprise possible actions.
