This phone doesn't have a snapdragon (which is way overrated....)

It has the next gen processor that the Droid has.

Regardless if that phone has a slide out keyboard and stock android I'll take it over my droid. Isn't that the stock 2.2 desktop pictured there? All these custom UIs do is slow down updates]]>May 22nd 2010 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/
It doesn't have a keyboard!

And has Blur on 2.1 at the moment

Droid 2 will be stock with a keyboard though dues out by Aug]]>May 22nd 2010 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/
Oh thats just silly, while a 4.3" is appealing, it definitely shouldn't be a requirement, 4.3 is way too big for me for a phone, 3.7 is ideal, The EVO seems pretty awesome, but I would take the Desire over it at any given day because of the screen size. Remember, a killer feature for you might be a deal breaker for others.]]>May 22nd 2010 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/
4.3" MINIMUM? That's absurd..ly large. 3.5 - 3.7 is just fine. ]]>May 22nd 2010 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/May 22nd 2010 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/Not really, my droid's screen and processor are perfectly suffucient and I have excellent battery life. The iphone would be perfectly sufficient if it didn't have crippling software on it. The 1ghz processors are overkill. I think 800mhz is the magic spot for the modern phone os's.]]>May 22nd 2010 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/
But yeah i guess the 4.3 is just me but you can fit a 4" screen on phones like the iPhone no problem, just have to remove the overwhelming bezel]]>May 22nd 2010 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/and how do you know its not a snapdragon?]]>May 22nd 2010 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/

Everything on a phone is a comprimise with battery life. The battery life on the hd2 is acceptable, but it could be amazing with a smaller but usable screen. It all comes down to what your priorities are. And at least for me, battery life is a number 1 priority on a portable phone. A blackberry has great battery life but lacks usability. It is indisputable that a phone with a smaller screen and slower processor will have greater battery life (assuming it has the same os). A phone with an average screen and processor but better battery life is better than a phone with average battery life with a great screen and overkill processor. But that is just me, your priorities may be different. ]]>May 22nd 2010 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/May 22nd 2010 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/May 22nd 2010 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/Nope, that's Moto Blur, which I don't like, that's why we should wait for the Droid 2 when it drops.]]>May 23rd 2010 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://j.mp/motorola-shadow-mirage]]>May 23rd 2010 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/May 23rd 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/mystery-verizon-motorola-droid-spotted-gonna-be-starting-some/
