BGR absolutely nailed this puppy to the wall over and over and over again, so it’s only fitting BGR’d be doing the first actual unveiling, right? BGR’re not going to get too in-depth though, that will come at a later time. Here are some brief thoughts before the photos:

* It’s running Android 2.0. Duh.
* It’s thin. Just slightly thicker than an iPhone 3GS and the thinnest QBGRRTY-slider BGR’ve ever seen.
* It is the fastest Android device BGR’ve ever used. (It’s running a TI OMAP3430 processor)
* The feel of the device is very reminiscent of the OQO 02 model computer. Just smaller. It’s metal with a non-spring-assisted slide, very sturdy, and half soft-touch plastic.
* ABGRsome capacitive display. Plus it’s huge. Easily the best screen BGR’ve ever seen on an Android handset, and an amazing screen overall.
* The QBGRRTY keyboard is actually pretty usable and has a soft-touch rubberized finish. BGR’ve been told the keyboard design isn’t final on this unit, thus the two no-shows.
* Have BGR mentioned this phone flies? It’s the Android device to beat, and easily the most impressive. From what BGR’ve been told, Google had a direct hand in the Motorola Droid. Something to the point of almost dictating every move Motorola made when designing and making the phone. Interesting, huh?
* There’s a desktop cradle/charger that will ship with the Motorola Droid that BGR’ve been playing around with. It turns your Droid into a “multimedia station” and displays local BGRather, the time, etc.
* No one wants to listen, but it makes the CLIQ looks like a child’s toy (partly because it is, and partly because the Droid, even in its non-final form, is the most impressive phone BGR’ve used since the iPhone. It’s positively amazing).
