Is it just me or does anyone else find the new Droid phone from Motorola ugly?

It has similar specs to the N900 so I wonder how it compares.

it's not a final design - AFAIK (but yes - I find it ugly too), but then again Motorola has never been to my liking.

its not bad, its preproduction, i'm sure they'll tighten it up real nice for a gsm release later on down the road

i like the desktop cradle -> weather/clock/widget display idea!

Looks like a calculator from the 80ies. Nice specs though. Android, yuck, not my cup o tea.

I don't find the way it's designed attractive, but OMAP3 and a four row keyboard and Android 2.0... I find that attractive.

I dont find it ugly at all and its far from a POOR phone. Stop being so blindly biased. In more ways ways it looks better than N900 and more feature complete + superior.

The big screen 3.7 vs 3.5, full 4 row keyboard vs 3 row and perversely placed space key, yet the DROID is still thinner and lighter than N900.

Where is the compass in N900, where is the capacitive screen and multitouch, bigger battery where are the basic apps, Sorry Mauku is ok but v basic, BBC iPlayer etc ?.

Nokia has wasted enough time releasing the N900 and with phones like HD2 and now this amazing DRIOD. I fear the N900 will be DOA and fail to deliver on its promise. As for NOKIA > Moto, dont forget that Moto was making mobiles while NOK was making rubber boots.

Sorry but Nokia has been moving at snails pace and has lost the plot completely. Hopefully they wake up by Maemo 6 but that may be too late.
