There is a lot of debate going on around the online gadget and mobile phone experts about the Droid by Motorola being the thing that will put Motorola back on the map. It is supposed to be the answer to Apples iPhone – coming a bit late – and their breakthrough to the smartphone markets.

The hype is getting larger as the release date of the Droid by Motorola is approaching – this is the hype that was lacking when they released their previous smartphone Cliq, that did not become that big of a product that they were expecting.

Droid runs on the Android OS which Motorola is backing quite a lot on. Unlike the iPhone it can do what all of the other Android smartphones are doing – multitasking. This has been one of the biggest lacks in Apples products. For someone using the phone for business purposes it is important to be able to have multpile programs running at the same time.

The Droid by Motorola does not rely on a touch screen, unlike many of its competitors, but it boasts a full sized QWERTY keyboard which slides from the backside of the phone – it will provide a more laptop like feel compared to the touch screen phones. Compared to its strongest competitors there are some same looks as the iPhone, but with a more blocky feel.

Besides just a computer like feel, it has a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a regular 3,5mm headphone jack. The size of the screen is a respectable 3,7″ and weighing just under 170grams it is a bit heavier than most of its competitors. The most important difference is that the Android Webkit has HTML 5 and Flash 10, which are going to make flash websites accessible with this tool.

The Droid by Motorola uses a microSD card and comes with a 16GB and can be boosted as high as 32GB.
