Wow! You're not kidding, this is a win!

I think the styling is more refined than the original droid, and this is refreshing. With the bumped processor and added ram, this will be a performer and a welcome addition to the Android arsenal.

Cool phone!

I've got to say, I find it most entertaining and enjoyable to watch the steady ongoing march of Android vs. the explosive annual celebrations of iPhone. Personally, I went with Android. Got my Samsung screen Droid Incredible before they ran out, and it is delicious. Most useful feature, imo: the voice search. "Call Paul" my phone calls Paul. "Navigate to [address] in Minnesota" my phone navigates to [address] in freakin Minnesota--I don't have to push any more buttons. Need to type a message or an email? No, just speak it. Mr. fat fingers here grinnin' away.

In any case, great job Moto \(* o * / )

HTC, wanna fire back? Let the games continue! Pull out all the stops, bring out all the bad boys, let's see MeeGo, BB, Android, iPhone, and WinMo7 fight their way to superphone nirvana so Joe Consumer can have the best tech at the cheapest price.

Do you mean 'peek' or are you using an innuendo?

I don't get why Moto are even making Droid 2 when they have the Droid X. That's just going to confuse people because they won't know which is the new one or the better one. The letter X is used for 10 so some will think Droid X > Droid 2, which won't necessarily be the case.]]>Jun 29th 2010 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/droid-2-rumored-to-be-launching-august-23rd-with-android-2-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/droid-2-rumored-to-be-launching-august-23rd-with-android-2-2/Jun 29th 2010 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/droid-2-rumored-to-be-launching-august-23rd-with-android-2-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/droid-2-rumored-to-be-launching-august-23rd-with-android-2-2/Jun 28th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/droid-2-rumored-to-be-launching-august-23rd-with-android-2-2/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/droid-2-rumored-to-be-launching-august-23rd-with-android-2-2/
