Where the obsession began

It all started with the Original Motorola Droid.

The 2009 Motorola Droid was one of the defining early Android phones: a heavy, unapologetically mechanical slider with a physical QWERTY keyboard, a sharp-for-its-time 3.7-inch display, Android 2.0, and the attitude that made Android customization feel completely different from everything else on the market. For DroidPirate, that spirit is the starting point.
