    Their seems to be two distinct camps when it comes to the Motorola Droid. One group looked at it and said, “Wow! That is a gorgeous phone!”; the other looked at it and said, “Wow! That is a horrendous phone!”.

    I, personally, am in Camp 1 – I think the Droid is pretty stunning. The same can not be said for Motorola’s other Android phone for Verizon. BGR just got fed a handful of pictures of the Motorola Calgary, an as-of-yet unannounced but long-rumored Android handset. There are three touch sensitive keys on the face, and it’s packing a 3 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headset jack (Hurray!), GPS, magnetometer, microSD slot, WiFi, and a whole lot of ugly. A logo on the back of the handset confirms that it’ll run Moto’s custom Android frontend, BLUR.

    Perhaps the pictures don’t do it justice – is anyone really feelin’ the design of this one?
