Android is software, not hardware. It can work in phones on GSM and

Exactly, and the software running the Driod is not getting stellar
reviews...
Motorola DROID review
http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/motorola-droid-review/
"Besides the introduction of the phone itself, obviously 2.0 is a
major update for Android. Based on the launch and hype surrounding
Moto's device, we'd say it's fair to assume that Google wanted as many
eyes on the achievement as possible. They definitely got it with the
DROID -- but was it worth all the fuss?
The first thing you should know is that Android 2.0 isn't drastically
different than 1.5 or 1.6...
One of the first major changes Google has made is support for multiple
Gmail or Exchange accounts... We would have been slightly more stoked
about the feature if it allowed you to look at both Gmail and POP /
IMAP / Exchange accounts in one field. Instead, you can view your
Gmail accounts separately... Not exactly a perfect implementation...
"Another minor niggle: deleting an email now takes you to the next
email in your inbox rather than bumping you back out to the list of
emails, as it did in 1.5 and 1.6...
"We loved being able to keep a few of our accounts in the phone, but
we ran into a weird and annoying issue when attempting to remove one
of them...
" It's not groundbreaking stuff, but nice choices to have (finally).
