The Boy Genius Report has finally gotten their hands on Motorola’s Droid. Just a recap, its Motorola’s upcoming Android 2.0 handset, which has been engineered with close cooperation from Google. Boy Genius is highly impressed with the performance and sheer speed of Android 2.0 (via Omap 3430). Other pluses cited are the huge capacitive display, sturdy construction, and a thin form-factor despite the inclusion of a full QWERTY keyboard. If priced competitively, it could be the first North American phone to give the iPhone a run for its money.

“[...] the Droid, even in its non-final form, is the most impressive phone we’ve used since the iPhone. It’s positively amazing”
