I personally own this device and it has seen more than it’s fair share of pavement and the z-hinge was the saving grace. Plus performance wise it far outperforms any of the Galaxy phones, and the vast majority of the Droid line still in the single core class. I have even done some side by side with the Droid x2 and my phone still keeps up with a fairly unnoticeable lag the phone is an out and out dream to use, and the only phone that has me even slightly tempted away is the HTC Amaze, if it had a z-hinge keyboard I’d have one in my pocket already, but hard to pass up 42 Mbps downloads with FREE hotspot so yeah I’ll take the plunge

For me, the design sucks. To difficult to open the damm thing to access the keyboard to the point that makes you wish to go back to the laptop instead if you're home. Its not as easy to open it like in the g1, since you're lifting the screen to displace it to the top, without any point of traction.

The keyboard is laid ugly, impractical also. I'm seriously dissapointed.

why do people criticise the phone. all in all its a nice phone. FOR THE RECORD : MOST PEOPLE PREFER TOUCH SCREENS WITH A KEYBOARD!!! RATHER THAN A ON SCREEN TOUCH. so if ure going to criticise/debate on something debate on that!

Firstoff I wrote the article and am.not paid by anyone. Secondly I have had tmobile sprint att and vzw as carriers the phone as I said is not bad. The hinge however and the fact tmobile service in my area sucks are reasons I will not be giving it another look please don’t blame kellex for my views

An hour and a half with a phone and you are talking down about it's durability? Remember, people said the same thing about the G1, and it has been proven to be more durable than most.

it does have swype installed. i'm with VZW as well. i'm honestly fed up with their overpriced plans, bloated droids, and other aspects such as bing, I still have the d1 and love it to death. when i heard about the g2 i was pretty psyched about it.

i'm really picky about audio quality, and this is where the g2 fails. the speaker phone is a joke, and the headset requires a sweetspot for one to hear the person clearly on the other side. If the g2 was comparable in terms of the d1 in sound, i would have jumped ship, and crossed over to t-mob.

it seems these days to have the perfect phone there is no option to root. touchwiz... where is 2.2??? - droid x - locked and blur. htc,,, not really into sense... i will wait with my overclocked d1 until a worthy handset comes out.

is it so difficult to make a plain jane android phone with good battery life. gorilla glass. good speaker phone, proper ota's , and easy access to total admin control ??????

Agreed. The whole fixation on the word “Droid” as opposed to the entire Android experience is what's soured me on this site. It's like reading Engadget give an Android review when DL gives a “non-Droid” review, and like an Engadget Apple review when DL gives a “Droid” review.

It's a marketing name, for crying out loud. Who cares if it says “Droid” or “Retina” or whatever? Sad.

I think that the rootkit is a very good idea. It is there for those that want to protect their phones–users who vastly outnumber those that want to customize them ———-

from a different perspective—-

ok. and the patriot act parts 1, 2, and 3 is to protect us as well. when in actuality it quietly negates our god given rights of freedom in the u.s.a.
