  • One of the most important features on the Droid 3 is its 5-row slide-out full QWERTY keyboard.

  • We like the offset keys on the Droid 3, a feature that was frustratingly absent in the original Droid, but added in the Droid 2.

  • As with its predecessors, the display assembly in this Droid is very difficult to access.

  • Peeling off the keyboard reveals a handful of teeny tiny T3 Torx screws that secure the display assembly to the slider mechanism and keyboard.

  • After some cringe-inducing maneuvering of the display data cable, we can separate the two pieces.
