My conclusion after two weeks with the the Droid 2 is that I love Adobe Flash on a phone with the hardware and operating system to support it.
I hope it comes to the big screen on my Droid X soon with it's expected late summer upgrade to Android 2.2.
Yeah I know, Flash is dying and all that but the reality is that without it websites are left with alot of holes and not every outlet has a custom app outside of YouTube's dual streams for web and mobile.
Last week I wanted to check in on a C-SPAN raw feed while working under my truck.
There is something magical just to stream a Flash feed over a 3G connection on a handheld mobile device without translating it or apping it. I just opened the CSPAN website and I had mini live TV in my hand.
Motorola's Droid 2 interface reminds me alot of the Droid X.
- Simplification of the power management tools over the Droid X.
- Secondary email (Yahoo, pop, etc.) on both these phones is better than native Google
- Same number of desktops and function, same Moto widgets
- Same camera interface
The major difference between these phones lies in the size, physical keyboard and video capturing.ability.
If you have an issue with the size of the Droid X and don't mind loosing the larger video/still file sizes and multi-mic system and like a physical keyboard, the 2 may be your Android device.
