    The new Droid looks awesome! I guess I would have to say that this looks to be the best of the 3 new smartphones!

  • Keyboards are important...

    ..but it's all about the phone. No sense in having a great keyboard if the phone isn't up to par. In this case, the Droid 2 is the better phone of the three. Don't worry, though. You'll get use to the using the keys.

    I thought I had to have a keyboard but my new droid doesn't have one. I find I am doing just fine without. I had a touch pro 2 and really liked that keyboard but with my new droid it doesn't matter. the onscreen keyboard is great.
