Coolest Cell Phone
Even if people are fixed with the idea that the Apple iPhone is the coolest cell phone in the world, there is quite an impressive number of smart phone models that come really close to beating the performance of the iPhone. For example, there are a lot of reasons for which we should consider the HTC Droid as the coolest cell phone.
For $199.99 you can but this cell phone with a 2-year contract from Verizon Wireless. At 4.63 x 2.3 x 0.47 inches in dimensions and 4.59 ounces in weight, the HTC Droid started off by impressing us with beautiful and elegant looks. Aside from the marvelous design, the next best thing about the Droid has to be the 3.7 inch display that comes at a native resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. Thanks to the built in accelerometer, the display will automatically change its orientation from normal to landscape mode. Unfortunately, the brightness levels are not that good so reading what is on the screen in broad daylight or under direct sunlight is going to be a difficult process.
Right underneath the display you will spot 4 keys which are touch sensitive: the first one is your average home button, the second one is going to pop-up the menu, the third one is the back key and, last but not least, we have the search option. Underneath these 4 keys you get an optical joystick which is meant to replace the trackball navigator. The left side of the phone is host to the mini USB port plus the volume rocker while the top side is host to the power button and the headphones jack. In order to determine the users to spend more money on the cell phone’s accessories, Verizon has packed only the necessary stuff along with the HTC Droid: the charger, the USB cable and the necessary user manuals.
Another aspect that we highly appreciate about this HTC Droid is that it comes packed with a lot of cool and fun widgets that are going to make phone browsing and using a whole lot easier. For instance, you get the Friend Stream widget that helps you keep in touch with the latest news and updated from Facebook and Twitter and they will all be shown in one single place. The weather widget will show animations right on your home screen and it will keep you updated with the real weather conditions. With a 8 megapixel camera, there is no doubt that the HTC Droid can take excellent pictures and, at times, it could even replace a regular digital camera. If storing the pictures is your main concern, you will be happy to know that the HTC Droid comes with no less that 8 GB of internal memory and using the expansion slot, you can expand the memory with some extra 16 GB. The 1300 mAh lithium ion battery is able to keep the mobile phone turned on for 5.2 hours of conversations but when it comes to moderate use, the HTC Droid will not manage more than 1 day on a full charge.
