When the second generation of a product is unveiled, you expect major upgrades from the first model. Motorola takes a different approach with the Droid 2, the follow-up to last year's ground-breaking Droid, both from Verizon. Rather than a fanboy's dream update, Droid 2 is barely a minor shift. If we were cynical, we'd say Droid 2 is Motorola's greedy attempt to stabilize the price of the phone (the original is currently on sale at Best Buy for $49.99), now back up to $199.99. Considering the allure of the identically-priced but more feature-rich Droid X (despite reported problems with its implementation of Android 2.2), it's even more surprising the Droid 2 isn't more of a radical shift from the first Droid. Not that it's a bad phone - but Motorola has missed an opportunity to take the slide-out keyboard Droid to the next level.
