Mobile Burn Review

I'm glad he said he was able to get used to the keyboard and that he likes it.

As for the picture quality, I wish there was a way to completely turn auto focus off. In many of the Sprint Hero reviews and threads here on the forum that I've read, it seems if you turn auto focus off you get much better picture quality and would think that the same would go for the Droid.

So there's camera apps you can download?

good to know....

Yes there are multiple camera apps available and one of the benefits of android is that if you find a camera app you like, you can set it as the default camera. So whenever you press the camera button on the side of the phone it will use your chosen camera app. I just wish snap photo had video capabilities also.

Are you able to set it so that the standard video ap is set for video recording and a 3rd party ap is set for the camera ap?

I ask because reviews are saying that the video that is taken looks great, its just the still pictures that tend to not work well. If the 3rd party camera ap takes great pictures, but has no video player, would be nice to just use the standard video camera instead since it works well out of the box.

Same here. I played with a floor "fake" model today at Best Buy. It just had a picture pasted into the display. I fear that the keyboard on that was what the real keyboard will feel like. I hated it. I suppose I could get used to it, but it really was an unpleasant experience trying to type. Then again, it wasn't a "real" phone and it wasn't turned on, so I don't know how the entire experience would have been.

We'll find out on Monday when my new Droid arrives.

I did the same thing at my Best Buy and I almost didn't put the money down on it if that was how the keyboard was going to feel. The reviews I've read today from Mobile Burn, Gizmodo, Phandroid and Boy Genius make me really happy I did. I knew that couldn't be how it was going to feel.
