I love this phone but I'm not sure it will work for my application. I have had it for about 1 1/2 months. Bad points... 1. It has crashed once on a trip leaving me with a wiped clean phone. 2. You must buy third party software if your company uses outlook calendar or windows based e-mail. 3. The keyboard on the phone is crowded and feels terrible. If you have large fingers the upper row of keys is hard to operate. 4. Not sure if a bad point but the phone is constantly updating in the background and if you're on a limited data plan you find you GB used up very quickly The good points... 1. Tons of applications to choose from. 2. Great GPS features and integration with google maps and your contacts. 3. Easy to maneuver screens and widgets 4. Car mount integration and operation is fantastic. 5. Intuitive operation of menus and controls 6. Great touch screen and accelerometer. I really want to use this phone I can certainly see it's potential but haven't fully been able to integrate it to my business. I think for the average non-business user this phone is incredible. Frustrated but hoping I can make this phone work for me. If you love social networking this phone appears to be great. I took all those apps off the phone as I don't use them.Read full review
The key features of the Motorola Driod 2 smartphone are: -Physical keyboard - Up to 40 GIGs of memory Other features include: -A large touch screen -3.5 MM headphone jack -GPS navigation with full turn-by-turn directions - 5-megapixel camera with flash -Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile hotspot -Talk time is 9.6 hours max and standby time is 315 hours The cons are: -No front-facing camera -A little bulky -Short battery life Overall, this smartphone is great because it offers a physical keyboard with the smartphone. For those that need the keyboard, this device might be what you’re looking for.
This really is a very good phone, keeping in mind it's about 2 years old now i think when it was introduced it would have been top of the line and on par with high end phones. The camera isn't great but it isn't bad either it would have been great if it had a front facing camera though, low light situations aren't a big problem here as it has a dual LED flash and really makes it work. Ir is QUICK even by todays standards, all tasks i use it for are completed and without lag. You can watch a movie on it listen to music while reading the news on the web it doesn't bother this device one bit, i had more expensive Blackberries that would stick and have buffer issues while doing those things. Only issue i face is using USSD codes via my prepaid wireless carrier. This phone will not recieve a reply from the carrier when running USSD codes, so things like checking balance, transfering credit, using interactive carrier codes won't work while using this phone. That's my only problem with it.Read full review
Likes: 1)Clear and bright screen. 2)Back-lit keyboard a big improvement over 1st generation. 3)Functions and features, and well designed. 4)Good reception for phone usage. 5)User replaceable battery. 6)Runs Android Gingerbread. Dislikes: 1)Tradeoff in portability vs screen size. 2)Had to open back cover to swap microSD memory card.
I have not personally used this particular phone, but I have friends and family that do own one. What I found was that the processor for this phone was only meant to handle up to 8GB of external memory. This means that your phone will freeze up if you try to use a 16GB MicroSD card as opposed to an 8GB. My brother owns one and switched to a Blackberry because his Droid 2 Global kept freezing up. Recently he switched back to his Droid because he wanted to surf the web via tethering his phone and the Blackberry would not be fast enough. I suggested to my brother that he reduce his data storage to less than 8GB because his phone was doing exactly what everyone else here says theirs does: freezes, doesn't let them use certain features of the device, etc. The problem is not with the phone, it is with the storage card you are using. My brother has since done so and has not had a single problem.Read full review
