I've lusted for an iPhone ever since it first went on sale -- but the nearest AT&T tower to my home is about 10 miles away. So I use Verizon Wireless and an ancient (four years old!) Motorola Q smartphone.
That's why I was excited to receive a Motorola Droid review unit. Could Droid be the iPhone substitute that I -- and undoubtedly many other Verizon subscribers -- have been longing for?
The Droid's arrival was well-timed: It was delivered just hours before I was to leave on a three-day, 1,000-mile road trip with my wife to see a family member in Ohio. This journey enabled me to put Droid through its paces.
My conclusion: My iPhone lust has been sated. The Droid, which costs about $200 after rebates and a two-year contract with Verizon, is superlative. On the whole, it is as carefully designed, useful and fun to use as an iPhone. At last.
