The year 2010 has been a blockbuster year for the smart phone consumer. There have been several major launches of latest and greatest phones from the top manufactures in the world. The top seven phones are all 100% touch screens except the Droid 2. All seven phones have the standard standard 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM which allows the android based phones (all but the iPhone) to view flash 10.
Major smart phone launch dates:
- HTC Desire HD – September 15 (rumor)
- Droid 2 – August 12
- Galaxy S – July 21
- Droid X – June 25
- iPhone 4 – June 24
- EVO 4G – June 4
- Droid Incredible – April 29
Four of the seven smart phones have a 4.3 "touch screen, while the Droid 2, iPhone and Droid Incredible have the 3.7" screens. It comes down to your preferences, some people like the nice big 4.3 "screen compared to the 3.7" and some people think the 4.3 "screens are too big.
Another 2010 smart phone standard is the capability to record video in HD 720p. All the phones can record in 720p except the Droid 2. This is about the only area where the Droid 2 falls short. For some reason Motorola decided to stick with the DVD quality video from the Droid 1 of 480p. It still takes nice video considering it's a phone, but it is a drawback considering all the other top smart phones have 720p video recording. I imagine the physical keyboard is why they could not fit a 720p video camera in.
All other features match up with the big dog smart phones including a 5MP still camera, wifi b / g / n, a wonderful high resolution screen and the latest version of the most popular operating system on cell phones today, Android 2.2, flash on the camera and of course GPS.
In summary, the Droid 2 is an amazing phone and can keep up with any new smart phone out today. It has a great physical keyboard with no other phone has. The only drawback to the new Droid 2 is the fact that the video camera is not a HD 720p video camera and is just a 480p video camera. So It's essentially the same phone as the Droid x but has a smaller screen, physical keyboard and a lower resolution video camera.
