\"PictureMotorola’s Anroid 2.0<\/a> phone debuts today<\/a> with its slide-out keyboard, 5-megapixel camera, and DVD-quality video recording. The NYTimes<\/a><\/em> calls the Droid 2.0 incredibly fast with superb audio quality, but adds:<\/p>

..the Droid’s design screams “Star Wars,” if not “Darth Vader.” It’s jet black, all sharp angles and industrial-looking edges. Verizon asked Motorola to soften the design for better female appeal, but it’s hopeless: Droid is all masculine, all the time. When you slide the screen up to reveal the thumb keyboard, there’s no spring-assisted snap; it drags like a plow through soil. It’s all part of the manly man design concept.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Wait I sec… I love Star Wars! Still, it’s a shiny new phone with lots of buzz and anticipation surrounding the release. The Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a> predicts it may be a big win for Verizon, Motorola and Google, while naming several drawbacks.<\/p>

I have the original iPhone and am planning to purchase a new one soon. My contract’s been up for a long time and the screen finally cracked last week after an unfortunate collision with hardwood flooring. It’s past time to join a 3G network. However, next year I’m headed to Austin, TX and service sounds unreliable<\/a> in the region.<\/p>

So I’m curious to hear from our tech savvy readers about early impressions of the Droid 2.0. Further, what do think is the best smart phone on the market right now?<\/p>
