    Re: Official DROID Discussion Thread

    2 ghz is pretty sweet, but that seems slightly unnecessary. I'm not sure it can make it seem any snappier than the 1 ghz snapdragon in the D-Inc.

        There are always new applications that can use it.

        I remember when people said 100mhz was all you would ever need in a desktop.

          Droid 2 looks exactly like the Droid 1, WOW. Oh well I won't be getting that. The only difference is the processor running at 1ghz. Hell I can overclock my current droid to 1.3ghz stable.

          The Droid Shadow & Droid X coming out around the corner too sometime this summer. Too many phones in a 2 month window if your ask me.

          It was inevitable, really, that a phone as widely leaked as the Droid 2 would end up caught on video. Doing the honors for us today are Android and Me, who've compared the new Droid to the classic variant. Funnily enough, they didn't find too much deviation from Motorola, describing the two handsets as "virtually identical," with the major physical change being the replacement of the previous keyboard's navigation pad with arrow buttons. The front end's soft buttons have also changed to Moto's Blur options, but otherwise you're still looking at a 3.7-incher with a 5 megapixel imager. The big improvement seems to have been under the hood with a new 1GHz TI OMAP3630 processor and 512MB of RAM (PowerVR SGX530 graphics unit remains the same) driving the Droid 2 to some robust benchmark scores. Of course, we don't see the handset booted up in this hands-on video, so treat these specs and results as provisional until we hear from the official horse's mouth in a couple of days. [Thanks, Naveed]

                SlingPlayer for Android is available today for $30. Wish I had a SlingBox.

                  Me too. I got myself all hyped up reading about it when I was closing in on upgrade time and now the wait seems endless. Mine doesn't ship until July 19th, I believe.

                          How do you speed it up? Is that safe on your phone? I also heard you can "jailbreak" the moto droid, anyone know if thats true?

                            Android phones get "rooted" which is a linux term meaning you have admin privileges. this allows you to make modifications to the system/flash custom roms/various other cool stuff.

                                the XDA forums will have the information you need.
