Motorola's Droid was the best smartphone available at the time of its release and sold tons. They didn't miss the transition, they fumbled.
- georgemcbay 14y agoAs an original Droid owner, the Droid was a great phone. Tying the phone to a brand name owned by Verizon was probably a bad idea, all things considered, causing considerable confusion among mainstream non-techies as to what they should upgrade to post "OG" Droid. And then they also kneecapped the techie market by switching to locked bootloaders (they've since recanted on this, but I still view the Motorola brand negatively solely because of what they did with locked bootloaders in the past).
