Hey guys,
I was able to play with the D3 for a few days now at my store. I thought i would give me pov since i handle phones all the time and have used nearly every android device from vzw and other carriers.
First off, let me start by saying that i was blown away when i first got the D3 in my hands. The build quality, the keyboard and the design is unreal. I wasn't expecting to like this phone, because i've never really been a fan of phones with keyboards and the d1,d2 line up. I was even able to take it home and test the device. Battery life is better than the d2, dx, dx2 and even the charge. The screen is gorgeous and motoblur is non intrusive unlike moto's older devices. I really love the turn off effect as well. I was able to do some heavy testing like run fb while checking gmail and playing nova 2. Also as i was going all those i was switching to messages and even with live wall paper it ran like a champ. Usually when i do a test, i will play a game like nova 2 for about an hour. Then i will do a test call and leave the phone on a call for about 2 hours(average talk time a day). I also kept on auto sync and live wallaper. Of course through the day i did the usual like texting, browsing the internet, d/ling apps and even video chatting. After all was said and done, from 10am to about 9pm i was still at about 30%. Lastly, I can say enough about the keyboard and how good it is. Its nice to have dedicated #'s and the keys themselves feel really nice. I dont care for keyboards and i personally think virtual ones are better(swype, swiftkey and thumb keyboard), BUT im on forums a lot and i have my own blog, So maybe it's time.
Put it this way, im ordering my own D3 tomorrow and selling my Thunderbolt, because as of right now my city will not have 4g until oct. I love my TB, but the D3 has won me over.
Hope this helps!
