“Motorola’s Droid 2 has received mostly positive reviews from a
variety of sources including the ones summed up here, more or less
in order of their approval: Ars Technica, eWEEK, PC Mag, PC World,
and Engadget. Reviewers generally loved the new keyboard and
disliked the camera and MotoBlur UI, while Engadget encountered
connectivity problems.“Now available for over a week now from Verizon Wireless,
Motorola’s heir to the original Droid, the Droid 2 does not appear
to have suffered yet from shortages. The same cannot be said for
the somewhat higher powered, keyboard-free Droid X. Both phones are
available for $200 with rebate and contract.“The Droid 2 is the first phone to ship with Android 2.2
(“Froyo”), and compared to the popular Droid, which is also now
available with Froyo, it runs it on a faster 1GHz Texas Instruments
OMAP3630, the same SoC used by the Droid X. The phone ships with
8GB of internal flash, and an 8GB memory card.”
