A great disappointment
Phone owned for more than a year

The phone started great but the longer I owned it the worse and worse it became. Apparently it's a problem for many motorola phones, the UI becomes more and more sluggish until it's so slow that you have to power cycle the phone. That, unfortunately, is required every 12 to 48 hours.

Pretty... OK.
Phone owned for less than a year

Its defiantly a good phone but not the best, the little things are great, but where it counts is slacking... After extensive use it is not impressive. When did it seem like a good idea to only put 512 RAM in a dual-core phone with lots of crap being forced to run in the background?

Droid 3 - AWESOME!!!
Phone owned for less than a month

The only major problem I found is the battery - sometimes it's really hot!
The minors problem is camera button and no 4G which is not a big deal.
Otherwise, many updates that really improves the capability of the phone!
The size is perfect in my opinion.
