Motorola Droid 2 Cell Phone Review
Conclusions
Contents
The Droid 2 is a worthy descendant of the original Droid. It is just as sturdy and compact and has an additional bit of style, plus Motorola has done a very good job of revamping the keyboard. We are, however, stymied as to why the voice commands over Bluetooth still didn’t work.
While the screen and the camera are not the best that are currently available on competing products, both are more than adequate. Android 2.2 plus a powerful processor and the Verizon service make this phone a joy to use. The Android operating system just keeps getting better and better and the Android Marketplace keeps adding more and more apps.
If you are a Blackberry user or just love a physical keyboard, this is a good Android phone for you. If you are heavy into surfing on your phone, the Droid X may be a better choice, but only because of the size of the screen.
