Motorola has long been one of the strongest Android phone makers.

The Samsung Droid Charge is the hottest phone in Verizon’s current lineup. Or at least, it had better be, with a $300 price tag even with a contract. Even though I was anticipating a chance to play with this phone, which has a tremendous 4.3” display on a black slab and silver border, the build […]
