  • "Keyboard still difficult to type with"
    4.0 stars
    on by mrgiddy

    Pros: Fast processor, Froyo, more on-board memory than Incredible, keyboard better than original Droid

    Cons: Same processor as Droid X with a smaller screen and less flash memory, keyboard still not easy to type with

    Summary: I was eligible for an upgrade and had been holding off until the Droid 2 came out. I dutifully went to a Verizon store this morning and played around with the Droid 2, X and Incredible. I originally thought I would go with the Droid 2, but after using the keyboard and finding myself typing gibberish, I started exploring my other options. I actually found the virtual keyboard on the Droid X much easier to use, primarily owing to the much larger screen. I think the keyboard on my wife's LG Ally is much better than either the Droid or the Droid 2. If not for my desire to have a bigger screen and beefier processor, I might have leaned in the direction of the Ally over the Droid 2, especially given the fact that the Ally is practically being given away right now. You might find the keyboard on the Droid 2 to be fine, it really boils down to personal preference, but for my money, I think the Droid X is a much better option.

    So did you buy Droid X then?

    When I tested the virtual keyboard and the dial pad on the "floor model" Droid 2, I also found myself typing gibberish. However, I have had no problems with the actual phone since I bought it. I've heard there's a glitch that causes problems with the virtual keyboard and dial pad when plugged into the units at the Verizon Wireless stores. Haven't had the problem on the actual handset that I now own, however.
