I guess we hit it right on the money when we posted a while back that the Motorola Droid is the best smartphone for 2009 as Time has just declared it the best gadget for the year.

They were a little bit less technical about their rationale in giving Motorola’s hot Android phone the win though, but we hardly disagree with most of the points they raised even with the Verizon bit. Sure, skeptics out there will probably point out that Verizon isn’t at all that perfect, but at least you don’t hear as many people complaining about it as those on AT&T which I personally believe is one of the major reasons why there aren’t more people using the iPhone in the US. Admittedly, the Motorola Droid doesn’t ooze the same sex appeal as the iPhone does, but hey, it gets the job done and that’s what really counts in the end.
Congratulations Motorola for a job well done on the Droid because you certainly deserve it! Just don’t forget that 2010 will be a completely new ball game and we’re now expecting a whole lot from you guys come next year.

I liked the Droid at first, but after two weeks of usage was disappointed - it has a long way to go
before it becomes really bugs-free and smooth to use…
