True, OS is somewhat free. Which is why it's much more restricted on R&D resource. To me this will be another pioneer to G1's great success. But it all depends. I do agree the flush keys are typically uncomfortable when type. But nevertheless, Motorola is back on the game.

the 1st video indeed looks laggy by the 2nd one by mobile-review, seems pretty snappy. hope they will improve it by the times it's launch. anyway, im wondering why they down clocked it to 550mhz?
same spec as n900. Not sure for motorola, but from nokia PR, n900 cannot run full speed or else it would burn the chip. The extra speed is for sudden burst of processing demand.
Anyhow this driod does pack a punch. Check out the google maps beta.
Droid is a good phone. The google maps navigation beta with the car feature really puts Andriod on par with symbian & WM. Both OS have navigation software for quite some already.
I'm still sticking to n900 as of now. This is the only device which can run full flash, full java & other plugins without any issues. Nokia needs to do some fine tuning before release. News flocking around saying this device can even install VLC player or codec, means more support on media playback and lossless music.
Anyhow, back to droid. Motorola is on the right track. If they can polish of the flushed keypad & improve the UI performance, It should be on par with Hero. Ergonomic & performance in day to day use of the device is crucial from my opinion.
