Now you can add motorola droid to the list of hacked / unlocked devices that give users more control over their phone. In Android world a hacked android is called to be rooted as opposed to being unlocked or jailbroken.

Android forum has instructions that supposedly show you how to hack and unlock your droid device to gain administrator access.

You can modify the operating system, change the handset's visual theme, customize the operating system and add multi-touch gestures and even add function to your droid that may have been restricted before.

The Motorola Droid is certainly one of the most discussed new non-Apple smartphones to come out in some time. It launches November 6th on Verizon, but you can already pre-order it from Best Buy.

Is it worth switching to if you already carry an iPhone or another device? To provide some guidance, BillShrink has produced a detailed chart looking at Droid, iPhone, Palm Pre, and MyTouch 3G.

One of our connects just blessed us with a couple shots of the HTC DROID Eris and graciously unboxed the retail packaging. We could bore you with meaningless details about how the phone is thinner and lighter than the Sprint HTC Hero, feels much better in the hand, and is generally the best Android device besides the Motorola DROID our connect has used, but we’ll stop there. Enjoy the photos!
