Unboxing the Motorola Droid 2, part 1

Like robots? Well rejoice – thanks to the folks at Verizon, the Motorola Droid 2 is here :)

The Droid 2 is the successor the original Droid, my pick for device of the year 2009 – that’s a lot to live up to!

Beyond the cosmetic changes mentioned in my unboxing video (above) and first power on video (after the break), the Droid 2 packs an improved keyboard, and the same 1 GHz processor as the Droid X.

The Droid 2 is the first phone to ship with FroYo pre-installed, but sheds Android’s default UI for the same non-Blur skin showcased on the Droid X – it’s rather unfortunate…

I’ll have some pictures of the Droid 2 for you soon. In the meantime, here’s a great review.
