Droid 2

[[AK]Hylander]

Ab - I "LOVE" mine. The 4.3" screen is the perfect size for me. I also picked up the media dock and the car mount. The car mount is greatly improved over the one I had for my original Droid. (Which my wife now had and loves. I've turned her into a Droid lover too.) The power adapter is part of the mount itself instead of plugging it into the phone.

So far the only complaint I have is waiting for Froyo to be released for it. I have a few custom ROMs sitting here - but I'm holding off until Moto / Verizon release the official one. Until then.. I'll just play some more angry birds I guess.

I'm very impressed with the camera and video on this.

If you need any help with anything, don't be afraid to give me a yell.

I ended up getting "stuck" with my Droid 2. Don't get me wrong, the phone's still really nice but i would have preferred the X. Apparently Go Wireless changed their policies just before the Droid X launch regarding extending return periods. Since they didn't have any X's in stock, they wouldn't honor the 30 day return policy. I called their corporate support as well as Verizon had neither could do anything for me. Bull Shit if you ask me, but whatever - still have a lot better phone than I had 2 months ago.


BTW - any good recommendations for an Outlook client for Android?

That's like asking if there is any good fuzzy dice or fist air cleaners for your Ferrari!!

Looked at the Droidx at Verizon yesterday ... that's a big phone. I do like the nonslip surface on the back and sides. It will be going in a case pretty quickly anyway. The screen looks awesome.

I never put my phones in cases or put the protection screens on them anymore. In fact, I have an Invisible Shield I got free when I purchased my X and it's still sitting on my desk.

Surprisingly, I have no problems carrying the X in my pants pocket or in my shirt pocket. I thought when I first saw it that it would be a bit awkward, but I've had no problems with that at all.

I have my iPhone 4 in a bumper and carry it around in a sunglasses pouch. No invisible shield or anything else like that.

Haven't even dropped the thing once (thank god).

DoubleTwist: they just updated to include internet radio and is awesome beyond compare.


EBay: buy a kit for batteries, cables, cases charges. Buy lots of cables and spread around.

I second that question. I really just need it to sync calendars locally with Outlook, but something that could actually contact my Exchange server (through OWA or any other method) would be a HUGE plus. iPhone/iPod Touches can do it--why not Droids?

I have the EVO. There is HTC software to sync with Outlook, but not so reliable. I now use Google Calendar Sync, which syncs Outlook to phone via Gmail account, so don't even need to plug it in. Just install on your PC.

After the comparison to putting dice on the mirror in my Ferrari, I did some poking around and found I can add a "corporate" account right out the box. I didn't configure it yet, but assume that's the reason it's not necessary. Now I really don't know if it does calendars though, so i'll let you know when I get around to tying it to my corporate mail.

If you have Microsoft Exchange - you'll be all set.

If you don't, and you want to sync with Outlook, you'll need to use Google Calendar Sync.

There are other 3rd party applications out there, but if you have Microsoft Exchange it won't be an issue.
