Why are sites calling the Droid 2 obsolete already? It’s only been out for three months. How is that obsolete? So what if the World edition is coming out? The only difference between that one and its predecessor is the new one can use HSPA. So what?!

I am one of the lucky ones who has a Droid keyboard that is not flat. My friend has one that is in between flat and raised, and my aunts droid’s keys are TOTALLY flat. What’s up with this, Motorola? Can’t wait for the Droid 2.

I have a droid and love it. cant wait for adobe to get their asses done with 10.1 but i have no need for the keyboard other than to play games with. the one screen texting is soo much easier. i dont see any reason for anyone to use the keyboard for anything other than games.

Hello,

I’ve a motorola droid. I think it’s one of best android phones on the market nowaday. Having a phisycal keyboard issomething fantastic, the virtual keyboard hides a very big portion of the screen.

Droid’s keyboard is not the perfect one but it’s good enough, and from my point of view much better than virtual keyboard.

I’m very happy with my motorola droid and i don’t ghange it for anyother phone.

They keyboard is good.. it’s been 2 months since i got it and just now, reading this i remembered how i didn’t like that the right thumb had to stretch over the ‘lip’ and the d pad, which makes it harder to reach some letters ..and unconfortable.. just remembered because it must have been few hours or days after i started using the keyboard when i forgot about it. you get used to it and don’t think of it anymore.
I really like droids keyboard, i think it’s well thought out. The flatness enables you to move fingers quickly around and the keys are large and have nice little and sure sink. I rarely hit the gap between 2 keys. more often i get the wrong letter, but this keyboard is pretty fast..
also, if you use 2 languages.. swype is nice thing and great idea and improvement, but if you use a language you have no dictationary for.. nothing can beat this hw keyboard.

And i also hope droid 2 is gonna have hw keyboard, cause that’s what wins a lot of people for it, there are better android phones now, without kb. namely n1, desire, soon samsung 9000,..

I think Motorola should make 2 versions of the Droid with the choice of the device with a flat keyboard or raised keyboard! Since Motorola had already produced a fair amount of Droids with raised physical keyboards I would love to see them implement this idea and create a win-win strategy for everyone! I’m excited to see this new Droid, but if there is no root I might stick to my original.

Seriously? The keyboard on the Droid is fine. I type paragraphs a day on it, and even having to press alt for each number doesn’t slow me down at all. I like the thin, flat buttons because I can swipe over them quickly.

Then again, I’m not a mouth-breathing footballer, either.

And please, please, have a keyboard on the Droid 2.0. If I want something without a keyboard then go buy the Eris or the iPhone or whatever.

I have a loyal iPod user/owner since they first came out and I refuse to buy any other media player. I currently own a 64GB iPod Touch and use it quite frequently for web browsing and I have no problem using the virtual keyboard for fast input.

That being said, I also recently upgraded my Verizon phone to the Motorola Droid and to be honest I find typing on the Droid virtual keyboard slightly better than my iPod.

I have fat fingers and can see where people could raise an issue with the physical keyboard of the Droid, but personally I never use it and see no need to.

I can type plenty fast and error free on the virtual keyboard and thus far I have ZERO complaints about the Droid.

God I love this thing.

I have a droid. This phone is great. However, it can be better. I’ve had this phone since it came out and there are only two things that I dont like about it. 1. sometimes its a pain in the ass to end a call because the screen turns off on its own (to save battery life) and you have to tilt it a certain way for the screen to come back on and 2. the keyboard is a little weird sometimes. it’s not terrible, I’m used to it and i use it almost all the time whenever i have to type in long sentences but it could use some improvements.

Overall, this is a good phone though. the camera is amazing. it gives super clear pictures, the browser is PERFECT imo. I had trouble deciding whether I wanted a blackberry storm 2 or a droid when i first got it and the browser was what won me over to the droid. It’s just like I’m on my desktop looking at a website on firefox or internet explorer.

If you’re tech savvy and you know how to customize your phone with good apps and things like that. then youll love this phone. You can do almost anything with this phone. There’s nothing you cant do on this phone.

I really like the Nexus One for T-Mobile but it didn’t suite me because I really enjoyed the physical keyboard of the Motorola Cliq. I really hope the Nexus Two comes out for T-mobile. I’ve seen how the Nexus Two is supposed to look and I absolutely love the design. Very sleek and well thought out. Can’t wait until it debuts!!

Honestly, i hope the Droid2.0 is keyboardless. with a 4.3″ AMOLED touchscreen, Android 2.5, HD Video Resolution, an 8 MP camera, a 1.5ghz processor, and a 32GB SD Card.

that would trump any iPhone to Verizon plans, and stop them dead.
