14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola DROID, the second mobile phone the handset vendor delivered to the market with Google's Android operating system on board, and also the first device to run under Android launched on Verizon's lineup, has just been disassembled by an enthusiast interested in what the phone looks like on the inside. This is something that most of you might be accustomed with, namely seeing high-end devices torn apart, and you should take a look at the images below to see what the Motorola DROID is made out of.
The handset comes to the market with the Android 2.0 flavor on board, and it is the first such device launched on the market. Other than that, it also sports a large touchscreen display, and a side sliding QWERTY keyboard. However, while most users are rather interested in what a mobile phone looks like on the outside, as well as on the user experience it can deliver when put at work, there are also those who want to take a look at the insides of a device, and the guys over at phonewreck are among them.
According to some of the latest estimations on the DROID, Verizon managed to sell a number of around 100,000 units during the first weekend of availability, which seems quite impressive. When compared to the performance of the iPhone, the numbers seem to dim, yet enthusiasts are certainly happy with how things are currently moving.
One way or the other, the DROID, which will also become available for purchase in Europe and Canada as the Motorola MILESTONE, is considered at the moment the nicest Android-based mobile phone on the market. It has the looks, and it seems to have the brains as well: multi-touch, multi-tasking and more are available with the handset. In case you are interested in learning how this high-end device can be torn down to pieces, you should head over at phonewreck to see how it's done.
