I like mobile-review, but I'm feeling a little skeptical about the review. For example, this is what he says about the keyboard:

While the DROID's keys have mediocre travel, but thankfully they are of ample size and pleasant to touch. Compared to the Nokia N97, it's miles ahead, being so much more comfortable. Placed on the right is the five-way navigation key, which is a breeze to use.
And:

On balance, the Milestone's thumbboard is more than adequate - I can hardly remember a single negative thing about it.
That's in total contrast to what most other reviews have said, which is that the keyboard is a real pain to use. And I tried the Droid out in a store and frankly found the keyboard to be so bad it was almost useless. The keys are so flat that it's almost impossible to hit one key, without also depressing another. Blackberries with much smaller keyboards are more usable (and I'm not a fan of the small Blackberry keyboards). I just don't know how Mobile-Review can have found nothing negative about the Droid keyboard. It's way out of whack with my own experience and what others have been saying. To each his own, of course, but it's a little hard to believe.
