Is the Droid 2 a good phone?

[Teendaddy08]

I am thinking about buying a Motorola Droid 2 and before I buy it I want to see what people have to say about it. What are the pros? What are the cons? Should I get the phone?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I for one have been very unhappy with that phone. I had an original Droid and really liked it. However, this one is very laggy (particularly after the Gingerbread update), extremely slow when pulling up contacts, randomly reboots, and has terrible battery life. I've even upgraded to the extended battery, which has helped some - but not enough. I also have a Windows Phone 7 for work, and am much happier with that. Hopefully whatever Android phone is available once my contract is up in July is better than this piece of garbage.

Mine is running on cm7 and is flawless. My battery lasts my entire day with moderate/heavy use. If I didn't desire 4g I would keep this phone it run like a tank after many many drops. I honestly love this phone and its far from garbage. Android phones are not like iPhones they require a little know-how and tweaking.

A lot of users find the stock platform buggy. If your gonna put a custom rom on it, you'll like it way better than stock. I like mine, always have.

That brings up the question of the day...

When will moto unencrypt their bootloaders. The best roms are late to most moto phones if they even make it that far.

My next phone won't be moto unless bigg changes are made!

Even if Moto decrypts the bootloaders, VZW will just reencrypt them.

Droid 2 is good! Lasts pretty long in my perspective.
Can listen to music and it still lasts

I wouldn't buy another one for $1. They're garbage.

The one I had was terrible. It worked great for a day or two after I got it, then I had my first random reboot... it just got worse from there. Before I finally got a new phone, the screen was basically unresponsive, it rebooted several time a day, and the physical keyboard worked when it felt like it. I was not pleased with the phone.

Mine has been laggy, slow, bug ridden, and the battery life has been sub-par. Unfortunately I can not reccomend this phone. You're better off with a Droid 3.
