- The Motorola DROID 2 is the refresh of the original Motorola DROID for Verizon. It sports a new 1GHz processor, Android 2.2 Froyo OS, full Adobe Flash 10.1 browser, and new Motorola MOTOBLUR type home screen widgets. More info: www.mobileburn....
I had a droid 1 and it stopped working, so Verizon gave me a new droid 2, so trying to learn all the new features your vids have been very helpful, thank you. I noticed you voice mail was different than mine, is that a separate app? Thanks
I have had this phone 4 amost 3yrs now still working GREAT
@Smokidable It will be soon as the Milestone 2, plus we get 720p recording. Not sure which networks will be getting though, if any!
Review was all good and seemed professional, as all your others also do, and the Droid 2 looks like it has some nice functional improvements and upgrades as well. Although the design doesn't seem that special, I prefer my Milestone's unique design, but wouldn't mind the CPU increase and MUCH NEEDED Froyo update. Thanks
It'd be nice if the keyboard lit up when you used it, or am I just not seeing this?
@Tmanoo7 you sure did, thanks..
one last question..how much did it cost you to update it?..
they do that for you at any verizon store right?..
very nice reviews, hopefully ill be getting a droid 2 next week!
@Jimdangello thats not actually jack blacks number or email smart one... those are probably just the numbers he has for the other phones he's testing
@littleweapon12 ok ill probably be printing as well. thank you for the info though. do you know when the X will get 2.2?
thanks for this great video. it's one of the best test about the milestone 2 i've seen in the last days.
looking forward for the avaibility in germany ;)
so... what phone do you use? i mean, if money was not an issue... which phone would you choose... just curious
@mobileburn Speakin' of keyboard, does the lack of d-pad really make it inferior to Droid 1?
how u can recording your voice in Motorola droid 2, I don't know where is it at, and how to can use your music to make a ring tone on text messaging
im waiting to get an upgrade and i'm stuck on this or the X. i do like the keyboard but like the 8 mp on the X. i have never owned a smart phone an was wondering what you would prefer? and what one of those 2 were faster in your opinion?
With the data manager, is there a way to keep widgets or things running in the background from using up data while I'm not on WiFi? I'm thinking I'd go for the $10/25mb data plan so I'd want to conserve my 3G usage if I could.
@balistikbill Well, I guess it does have the 8MP cam and HD camcorder, right?
@Tmanoo7 so your phone gives you no problem at all? u can text fine? u listen to your voicemesages fine? you can talk fine?..is it fast?
do you know anyone with the incredible?
if you were to compare them wich one is better?
@mobileburn Dont the arrow keys pretty much do the same job as the d-pad?
So is if you are good with touch keypad, get the droid x and if you need a keyboard get this? Is that really the only difference?????
Does the droid 2 have the same physical and bulky feel as the droid? And because of the raised keys, is it easier to type then the droid?
Does it have access to a wifi-network? bcuz i have wifi in my house, would i b able to surf around on this 1 on that network instead of paying for a 3G network?
is going from the blackberry storm 9500 to this really that hard to convert to because im getting the D2 today
Does the droid pro have any advantage over this phone? (better camera? easier "cut and paste"? better screen? anything?
I am goin gto buy that Droid Dog! Does it come with the phoen?
Ordered this yesterday, very excited :D
Agh still that insanely loud camera noise. Is that Android?
Why is there no option to turn the cam sounds off! :OOO
I might the droid 2 or droid x for my Birthday (Sept. 1)
Which one should i get??
In a serious note, could you please tell me what is the name of that robot dog toy? Thank you
On my original motorola droid it had trouble uploading videos to youtube. Does this newer version help with that?
If you upload the video onto your computer, how is the sound and video quality?
does the camera work in landscape and portrait mode? or just landscape?
@Maddyisbeasty Voice input is pretty accurate in my experience. You will always have to proof it, but it is generally easier and quicker than typing. The device fits in a pocket fine, it's just heavy. Skype lets you place calls over Verizon's network, just as you would hope.
@rosander08 the extra 3 megapixels on the Droid X's camera really isn't going to make a HUGE difference. If you just want to send the pictures to someone or post them on facebook 5 megapixels is more than enough. The megapixels mainly only matter if your printing the photos.
does visual voicemail cost money?
can you copy and paste any text ? or does that only work on emails and text messages?
do You know if the app "AppTrailers" runs good on this phone?
does verizon charge for data on the droid? for example like music uploaded from my pc
I had the Droid, bought the Droid 2, sent back the Droid 2. If you have the Droid, don't get the 2nd one, pretty much useless, though the raised keys are definately a plus. Get the Droid X if you're looking to upgrade.
Either way, all Droids are AMAZING!
@americanforthewin It is a Sony Aibo, from back in the late 90's. I had it imported from Japan back in the day.
Does this phone have a front face camera,?
@timtalon Q4 so any time before christmas hopefully. No mention of what networks will offer the phone yet. My money is on Orange and Vodafone. We'd be very lucky to see it on O2 unfortunately going by Motorola's track record.
is the visual voicemail free or is it a paid service?
so wich one is better..
droid 2 or droid incredible?
i cant decide wich 1 to get..
a little help anyone?..
Is it optinal to get the phone without internet?
Help I'm Alive - Metric. GREAT SONG!
Great review, and phone. Nice job
@rosander08 The DROID 2 is faster at the moment since it has Froyo, but the Droid X will have that eventually, too. Personally, I like the D2 better because I like keyboards.
Can you just do Ctrl C or V for texting/Email and such
@ig33ku I doubt it works. Batteries tend not to survive that long. It hasn't bee powered on in a very long time.
How do you know jack black
Zomg i really don't know whether to get this orthe htc Desire Z, help?
@Roshile8 Thanks for the reply. I honestly wasn't expecting anyone to.
is it true the droid 2 cannot play mp3?
Can you get this in prepaid?
@audjak Um how much does it cost?
how do you screenshot?
i heard that the battery sucks is that true?
hows the battery life??
very complete review.. liked the phone A LOT! thanks
I cant wait to get this phone!!
better than iphone 4?
I got this phone like 6 days ago its so amazing but i have to get a new one the phone cuts its self off sometimes since i got it its so annoying othere then that the phone is great but with that down fall im gonna get a new one
@HadarBabyGurl Yes, if the video is longer than 30 seconds you have to be on WI-FI
Why does he keep saying there is no D-Pad? OK, there is no actual 'D-Pad', but there is the up, down, right, and left arrows - They do the same exact things the D-Pad does.
this or the droid x?
@KlaasLanszweert yes it has wifi
@HadarBabyGurl should be able to with the facebook app? im not sure though, i don't have a smartphone but i have an iTouch if that helps o.O
or you can send a text to facebook
getting this phone thursday :)
i have one of each. the android 2.2 update for x is coming basicly some time between today and this week. the camera is not alot better on the x but recording in 720p is a major plus. the clarity of the screen is better on the droid but the x is awsome with its 4.3 wich is still super clear. i have had no issues with pixel density. the keyboard on the droid 2 is great if you like keyboards i dont use it i prefer the x's multitouch. the hdmi is awsome for non copyrighted movies videos ad pics.
@mobileburn ok awesome thanks! BTW your vids are the best
btw, why is this phone so complicated???
im getting this phone next month when my contract ends.Only because its like the X just with the physical keyboard.Thats a big turn on for me
What is with the Jack Black's info??? Did you purposely put it up to brag that you know the guy or is the phone and email fake...
This or the Droid Incredible??!!
@DaveLovesVids Hey youtube warrior, your point about the lack of "dpad" was obviously, which is why he did not mention it. He assumed you are watching the same video as the rest of us and could OBVISOULY see there is a different, smaller set of arrow keys that allows for a much larger and more efficient typing area. Get a grip on reality.
@Smokidable yea it is i got my droid 2 at Europe when i was vacationing in London
@mobileburn Thank you! Darn it, I wanted to buy one. Looks really cool - kind of like the dog from Planet 51.
A 1st gen Aibo?! Damn... damn... they r extinct like the Dodo now... does still work? Or u refusing to feed it batteries?
Back on topic; in the end the Droid X maybe the better choice.
It actually does record video in HD (720p), but whatever....
@Tmanoo7 thanx for your help..
i apreciate it..
that is so cool and i so want one of those!!!
@milko511 It's equally as powerful. Just depends whether you want Android or iOS.
why would anyone pay to download this video to watch it offline when you have TH-cam downloader....??? O.o
I like how you can jump right into a race under 20 seconds
i wonder why it is so slow and sluggsih compared to the droid X
Really nice video, apreciate that!!
thank you so much for this detailed review! #godblessyou
Do you legitimately know Jack Black?
just got this phone for xmas.....my mind is blown lol. amazing phone (for the whole whopping 14hrs ive had it). But as DaveLoves said....ya they just replaced the d pad with directional arrows. i tried the d pad on the original droid and didnt like it. inconsistent
@FSQwicky i read your comment before I watched the video which made me laugh when i got to the part you were talking about.
@harvey1132 I think it does...
O and sorry for being such an apple fanboy, but nfs shift looks super epic on iphone 4..
Androids two greatest shortcomings: Not being able to close your apps and thE DAMN CAMERA SOUNDS ARGH
@Nick19997 If he does he just gave Jack Black's number out on the internet. Whoops.
I LOVE METRIC !!! and the review is cool 2 lol
THANKS FOR JACK BLACKS NUMBER!
can u get free music
I want this to come to the UK :[
@JackDuran You can IN FACT turn both off on my thunderbolt.
meh.. seems very unresponsive especially compared to iphone.. i was going to get this phone but I hate that slow response so i'll just wait and see if the iphone comes to verizon
The Droid 2 has a d-pad.
