The Motorola Droid  is an Internet  and multimedia enabled smartphone  designed by Motorola, which runs Google's Android operating system.

The Droid has a hearing aid compatibility rating of M3/T3. The phone is the first to ship with free Google Maps Navigation ( installed.

In the U.S , the handset is distributed exclusively by Verizon Wireless. Features of the phone include Wi-Fi networking, a 5-megapixel low light capable digital camera, a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, interchangeable battery, 3.7-inch 854 x 480 touchscreen display. It also includes MicroSDHC support with bundled 16GB card, free turn-by-turn Google Maps navigation, sliding QWERTY keyboard, and Texas Instruments OMAP 3430 processor. The Motorola Droid runs Android version 2.1. The phone does not, however, run the re-branded MOTOBLUR interface for Android, instead providing the Google Experience skin and application stack.

The "Droid" was launched in the UK on December 10, 2009, as the Motorola Milestone. The exclusive sales outlet for the phone, eXpansys, reported that all stocks of the phone had completely sold out within 3 hours of its debut. The sell-out was considered a major victory for Motorola, which has had little success with its previous Windows Mobile-based phones, and had been counting on Android-based phones for future growth.
