No, it doesn't. Not even close. No auto-correct can compare to physical accuracy. If you're looking at overall speed, Swype-derived keyboards seem to be where it's at (SlideIT is my personal favorite of that batch). I have seen some insanely quick Swype users that smoked any iPhone texter I have ever seen. My brother is a good example, he has pretty much stopped using the physical keyboard on his Droid because of it, but he admits for long, drawn-out conversations the keyboard is a bit better...but he doesn't often have long, drawn-out conversations.]]>Jul 18th 2010 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/]]>Jul 18th 2010 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/Jul 18th 2010 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/Jul 19th 2010 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/Do you know what would make this phone look twice as good?

It is good looking, but seems like if they just used the old one, jazzed it up a bit and put better memory and cpu in it. The first one is great (I currently own it), but I would of thought they'd put more stuff in the new one. For one, I don't think the screen's any bigger or higher resolution, the bigger phone would of been better for the physical keyboard. Also, where's the front facing cam? Why is it still the same camera? Why isn't there another mic for noise cancelling?

To me, seems like they didn't try enough with this one. Like if they thought "oh, the first one did well, let's just make it faster and sell it again". They didn't push the boundary, which is one of the reason why I like HTC, but they need to put out a qwerty phone damnit!]]>Jul 19th 2010 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/Jul 19th 2010 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/
Isn't the rumor that the Droid 2 will also have a version of Blur? Similar to that of the Droid X? Because if that's the case, I'm not interested in the slightest. I'm looking forward to a stock Android device, something like that of a Nexus one successor]]>Jul 19th 2010 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/Jul 18th 2010 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/
I agree its awesome. But I hope its better than the DROID X cause the X in my opinion isn't as good as the EVO.

I'm with you here. Not that anybody expects Motorola to beat Apple at industrial design, but why are all Android phones so ugly? Not that it's necessarily hideous, but it's just completely boring and cheap looking. It just looks like their designers don't care.]]>Jul 18th 2010 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/I agree.

as a DroidOrig owner, i think the Droid is one of the few smartphones out there that has a definitively masculine feel.

You have to consider who this phone is for. This is the phone for the geeks. Motorola's already got the Droid X out there if you want an iPhone-alike in an Android flavor. This is a phone with a physical keyboard - something that's almost becoming an anachronism these days, but which a lot of really hardcore people consider EXTREMELY important. (I flat-out won't buy a phone without one, which is why I'm still puttering around on my HTC Fuze.) This is a phone that's all about function over form.

Anyway, it's not ugly, and looking "old" is not necessarily a bad thing to its core market. Look at the ThinkPad. Is it beautiful or modern-looking? No, and that's actually one reason why it's popular. Some people actually want their stuff to look like it's made to do things rather than to look pretty.

Unless Moto does something to drastically screw this up, I'm most likely going to be buying a Droid 2 shortly after release. (Unless anyone can point me to another Android phone with better specs and a keyboard, and that's not vaporware.)]]>Jul 19th 2010 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/first-official-droid-2-pictures-spotted-in-teaser-site-code/
