The Motorola Droid 2 is the fifth phone in the Droid line. In the US it is available exclusively on Verizon Wireless.[2] It runs the Android operating system by Google, and is capable of running Flash Player 10.1.[2] It comes with 8Gb of internal memory and is shipped with an additional 8GB SDHC card, upgradeable to 32GB. It has a 3.7" display and a 5 megapixel camera.[2] Unlike the Droid X, the Motorola Droid 2 features a redesigned physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and also features Swype.[2] A limited edition version featuring Star Wars character R2D2 will become available in September.[2] Sales of the device began on the 11th of August 2010.[3]
Reception
Reviewers felt that the good aspects of the previous Droid, like the sturdy build and functional styling were maintained in the Droid 2, but with many refinements. Some reviewers thought that the styling was less abrupt, but some criticised the device for not departing enough from the previous design. The consensus regarding the screen was that, while it was not as big as some phones, or as high resolution is the iPhone screen, it was good quality and not too small. The keyboard was praised by some reviewers for being less awkward than on the previous Droid, but others found little improvement in the new keyboard. The camera, like other parts of the device, was criticised by some for being hardly an improvement over the previous device, but most were nevertheless happy with picture quality. Most reviewers found the device to be a good solid all-rounder, but were a little underwhelmed by what they saw as a small evolution of an already successful model rather than a revolutionary new device.[4][5][6]
