Motorola, You Screwed Up. The Droid 4 Alienates (And Pisses Off) Your Core Demographic.

droid 4-2Droid 4 reviews are popping up everywhere. We're doing ours a little different. Instead of posting a "review" after spending just 24 hours with the phone like other sites, we're living with it for a week, publishing several articles on it and then concluding with a full review after actually living with the phone for a while. But one thing was clear even before the phone launched: Motorola messed up forgoing a removable battery for a meaningless reduction in thickness.The original Droid started the Android revolution. It was the anti-iPhone: an open OS, sliding QWERTY keyboard, available on Verizon and featured a removable battery and expandable memory. Now many of those advantages are moot points. Android is no longer viewed as open, most people are sold on virtual keyboards, the iPhone is available everywhere, and now, thanks to Motorola, the Droid 4 features a built-in battery. Sorry, power users.
