The tech space is a gigantic waiting game. Get it if you need a phone now..]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
That does not even make any sense. ]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
But..but...this is the Droid 2. R2D2? What happened? This isn't the Droid i was looking for? Droid 2 doesn't?

What happened here? Seems like Moto is more concerned with the Droid marketing gimmick rather than providing any real reason to buy this. ]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
However, don't forget that you can easily override the Moto UI or any UI with launchers that are available on the Market, like LauncherPro, ADW Launcher and more without rooting your phone or loading custom ROM's. So, if the UI is the biggest bummer to this phone, there are other options.]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/THE GOOD

ANd as far as the keyboard goes? messing around with it yesterday.... Its impossible to touch the Top row without BUMPING MY Finger on the Screen BEZEL!

I was very disappointed.]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/strange Signal strength + droid = 6/10 ..

so basically the Droid 2 is just like the yearly iphone upgrade.. Got it Engadget...

Good thing we still have tons of Androids coming out within the next year that will get better and better!!!]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
Did anyone notice the photoshop of Jason in the article pic?? lmao]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
Not made by Apple, deduct a point.

..but seriously the Droid is arguably the most successful Android phone, well ever (thus far)...take it, make it faster, make it first to be released with Froyo and clean up a few other pains and you give it a 6?!?! wow Engadget, wow. And "Strange signal strength and data issues" ...have you used an iphone 4. HA.]]>Aug 13th 2010 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
Hopefully Motorola will learn its lesson and run stock Android like what people want.

I would have given iPhone 4 an 8/10 and this device a 7/10. iPhone loses points for its signal issues and idiotic design (Glass on the front and back on a phone? Are you high?) and Droid loses more points for its signal issues, bad interface skin and weak camera.]]>Aug 13th 2010 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
I think 6/10 is a bit ridiculous for this phone, the only part that is fail is no stock 2.2, but that is a pipe dream in Android at this point.]]>Aug 13th 2010 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
I feel like they didn't give the Droid 2 a good chance. I mean, it felt like they are complaining about the 3.7 inch screen because it's too small now? Come on, when this phone came out people were in love with the size. What's it going to be next year 4.3 inch screens are too small? Though I do agree with the stock option not being available.

The real knocker that I see is the antenna issues. It seems disconcerting that producers aren't able to deliver a product that is meant to make calls (Apple and Moto) and instead leaves us with a PDA. :\]]>Aug 13th 2010 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Lol, i didn't notice til you pointed it out.

6/10 sounds about right if the signal strength was almost a deal breaker. That late email disaster should NOT HAVE happened...]]>Aug 13th 2010 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/I have never had any problems on my iPhone 4.

signal issues are bad right? It's a phone, right. I remember a certain fruit equipped phone get a 9 out of 10 though.]]>Aug 13th 2010 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
Unfortunately, that's the exact reason why Droid 2 is going to sell like iPhones. Motorola will then have no incentive to fix problems like the bad reception.]]>Aug 13th 2010 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
So that's your argument? Motorola can sell a shitty upgrade cause they'll be more coming out? That a boy, way to keep the manufacturers liable for malking shitty phones. ]]>Aug 13th 2010 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro Beta really speed up the Droid X.

Contrastly, My EVO is supposed to be immune to the death grip, but I do lose 1 to 2 bars of signal and the occasional dropped call when I do use it at my work place (which has poor Sprint reception). ]]>Aug 13th 2010 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/Aug 13th 2010 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/droid-2-review/
