Droid 2 upgrade?

[ronaldheld]

Even if Droidmod 1 is a little antiquated, is it really worth upgrading to the D2 running 2,1?

What? Are you asking if you should upgrade to the Droid 2? If so, it's pretty much a personal decision. I see absolutely no reason to upgrade if it comes with the rumored specs. Add hdmi, 4.3" screen and 1ghz+ cpu and it makes it a no brainer, imo. If it ships with 2.1 who cares? It can be upgraded later.

Well, it already has the 1Ghz processor so you can scratch that off your list.

From what I'm seeing it's only advantage is a better keyboard. 1ghz cpu: I can already beat that. 3.7" WVGA screen: have it. Latest and greatest Android: got that too. The existing keyboard doesn't bug me nearly enough to upgrade the phone.

Even if there were some killer spec, after being a super-early buyer of the TP2 and being able to do *nothing* with it for the first 1.5 months, I'd not purchase until/unless an active community was behind the device...for now the existing Droid is about the best you can get.

Reasonably priced (now), potentially faster than Incredible/Evo/etc (I haven't had the nerve to go past 1.1 ghz), incredibly active and supportive user community...Think I'll stay.

This sounds like there is little reason to upgrade at this time.
I am running at 1 Ghz, and have not tried toi go higher.

I wouldnt upgrade really but i think its alot better and it will probably come with 2.2 even if not i bet you can overclock it to 1.5 or so. I might get the xtreme i like it and i dont use keyboard anyway. As far as htc anything i really think there kinda cheap fealling and battery lif is usually the worst. I just played with a evo today and it was kinda slow in certian spots. I think a stock droid with launcher pro runs a little faster. I am gonna stick with motorola for sure

If I were to give up the keyboard, would the X be a better choice?

Are you guys talking about the droid X, the specs look impressive, but I am unimpressed by the lack of a physical keyboard. Having to rely on the soft keyboard scares me.

[ronaldheld]

I am concerned about having a phone with no qwerty physical keyboard, but for a large enough screen could live without it?
I did mean the Droid X.

I would even bother with Droid 2, i would check out the Droid X.
