Rumor: DROID 2 Hitting Stores on August 23rd?

• The weird thing is my wife's droid 1 also has raised keyboard buttons while mine are flat. Thank for sharing with us…

• I'm with you… the X has lotsa cool things that I'd love, but I just cannot – likely never will – fully trust a touch-only device. What happens if your screen stops responding to input? You're looking at a really shiny, high-priced paperweight. Droid 2, you are likely my next upgrade, unless something comes out that's even better. For now, I couldn't be happier with my old skool Droid.

• Will I get it? I would like this to come with 2.2

• Dang, looks like many Droid owners are going to the X. I will probably go with the Droid 2. I am one of the rare few that actually really like the physical keyboard and barely ever use the virtual keyboard. ( I do use swype from time to time). I really like the design of the Moto Droid and am looking forward to the upgrades of the Droid 2. The X is really sick don't get me wrong, its just all about personal preference. To each their own right? As long as we stick with Android phones! 🙂

• sooo I am torn between the Droid 2 and Droid X, I want the X to just have a keyboard…. what do I get, because I am big on having the keyboard but I am a little computer nerd at the same time… ughh

• the day
  before my 18th bday 🙂

  but im getting an x

• Kellex, are you getting the droid 2? I never thought i would say this but, i am leaving the droid for the droid x not the droid 2, and i was wondering if you were going to support the x as the next device?

• We shall see only time will tell!

• I'll have my Droid X by then… 😉

• Any word on the GSM/Milestone version?

• When can we expect the Droid 2 to be available in Europe?

  • +1

• This will take the place of the currant Droid when it's released. So….If you like the first droid, get it while you can now.

  • that's why the stores have the buy one get one free deal for the first droid going now! haha

    • It's true though. They are trying to get rid of stock.

      • Oh I know! 🙂

      • hey! i thought you might want to check out this Droid X Theme for Froyo users looks pretty nice:

• If a Droid 2 were to hit a store, the store would most likely disintegrate.

  • Haha! You literally took the words right off my keyboard!!!

  • Updates with the benchmarks shows the increase of CPU jobs with the Droid 2 than with its predecessor. Droid II Matchups

    • That article may have e info. my understanding is the 2 does not have HDMI.

• I noticed that the keyboard buttons are raised. The weird thing is my wife's droid 1 also has raised keyboard buttons while mine are flat. Keyboard typing is a lot easier on her phone than on mine (but with swype it doesn't matter anymore) but not sure why our phones are different like that.

  • It is a rare manufacturing defect to have raised keys. She should be glad to have them.

    • haha. so you can't even call it a defect 😀

      • It is a defect but I think it is the only one that is actually wanted

  • hey ray,

    When i got a launch droid it had the bubbly raised keys like you mean

    and then i had to get a replacement and mine were just flat as can be.

    My understanding from androidforums.com is the fact that motorola apparently made 2 types of keyboards for the phone

  • I think some earlier models have this raised keys….

  • The buttons get raised when you type on them a lot, not to mention the phone heating up while in use. {{-_-}}

• Is there a reason that all phones have to have a different button order or do they just want to mess with us?

  • there are 3 keyboard types… most are qwerty…

  • I don't understand it either. Especially when it happens on phones that are made by the same manufacturer.

    I think they use the eenie-meenie-mynie-moe method.

    • I think every time I try to get the menu opened I hit the home now.

• So far, the X is more appealing. I would take this over the X only if I absolutely needed the physical keyboard.

• maybe you want to update the specs in the “exclusive gallery …” article to represent what we know now -> omap 3630-1000 …

• THAT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

• I like the looks if this almost as much as my phone.

• ah and fyi for anyone who reads the kindle app for android is out

• sweet jesus

• Ferst
