Well, here you have it. A slew of jam-packed, power-hungry, app-crazy smartphones. Keep in mind, these phones run on Android, an open source mobile operating system produced by Google. We are looking at my top four picks of Android phones.
Motorola Droid
iDont have flash. iDont simultaneously run apps. Verizon’s campaigning arsenal seemed to target all of Apple’s failures on the iPhone, with Anti-iPhone motives. This black beauty definitely has style with sharp curves and gold accents. The crystal-clear 3.7 inch screen dominates the top half with 4 shortcut buttons. When slid out, the phone reveals a tight, soft keyboard with a 5-way D-Pad. The storage is amazing too, with 16 whopping gigabytes of memory on a single, tiny micro SD card.
Motorola Backflip
Let’s face it. Motorola has had a creativity block since the RAZR era. Not anymore. This gorgeous reverse flip phone is sure to envy all of your friends. Coated with platinum sliver with 2 GB of internal memory also has a technologically advanced webpage scroller on the back. The phone painted many with curiosity when it was first spotted in the wild.
ODroid
Well, it’s confession time. No, this isn’t a phone. Well, it kind of is. The South Korean Developers at Hard Kernel designed this piece of technology with kids, games, and developers in mind. This device runs on Android 1.6 (Donut) and requires no data plan. This husky device houses an 833 MHz Samsung S5PC100 Processor (same as iPhone 3GS). There is no internal 3G, but it supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The lite edition costs $199 USD with an 8 GB micro SD card for storage.
Google Nexus One
A lightning fast Snapdragon processor with a 4 GB Micro SD for storage sets this new Google package as my 4
th pick. The Nexus One runs android 2.1 (Éclair) which includes multi-touch gestures and live wallpapers. This device is manufactured by HTC who did a very good job of keeping the phone slim and light. An optical track ball makes web browsing and game-playing easier. Google’s Nexus One is $529 USD for an unlocked version or $179 with a T-Mobile contract. It will be coming to Verizon Wireless and Vodafone in the spring of 2010.
