  • at the "not lag part" me: ARE YOU SRS???

  • This phone started out as a decent phone when I got it, but as time passed it became more and more leggier and less capable, so I guess you could say it doesn't last for many years it will still work but it will lag a lot. Sometimes it may just randomly switch your music off or just turn off out of nowhere (guess this happens to everyone once in a while). Trust me, I have had this phone for a few years now. I certainly do not recommend this if you are looking for great performance for years to come.

  • my son left this phone for me to use in india. it was earlier used in usa. their is a problem about unlocking for use with indian sim cards. can someone help me. rc

  • everything works fine and it's worth buying.

  • This has been my favorite phone. I have bought each generation of this model. What I really like about it is the slider keyboard and it's size. The newer phones are too big. I am going to use this phone until it falls apart.

  • All are good, really awesome... 8gb iNbuild memory, Nice keyboard, awesome camera N souNd, Cool N Nice look... but Not support USSD code. ex: *123#, *141#, recharge voucher Number. N battery f**k...

  • How do you KNow.?

  • motorola a956 mmicode please imei 353650043224240

  • good phone..good size..good spec..no lag..good batt life if used 1720mAh battery..overall 8/10..

  • The motorola droid 2 global is extremely slow, bad display that freezes all the time, camera is crappy, and battery won't even get me from 7AM to the afternoon before its battery is flat. DON'T BUY THIS PHONE NO MATTER WHAT! People say this phone is really fast due to its 1.2GHz processor, but it is miserably slow. It has taken me over a day to download an app from the play store!

  • What is GSM network unlock pin ..? need help

  • jus log on to unlockthatphone.com follow simple steps choose carrier and country. pay online and receive the code so simple....... cheers and smile

  • What's up Cryptous, can you help me get the code please?

  • This phone can be rooted and have CyanogenMod 10 (Jelly Bean 4.1) running on it.

  • Hello guys, how could i unlock my Motorola DROID2 / Verizon? Cause it asks me about the SIM NETWORK UNLOCK CODE : **** .

  • Loved this phone until the screen started thinking it was being touched when it wasn't. Upgrading to RAZR MAXX HD in a couple days.

  • I got a Motorola Verizon Droid 2 Global, SIM and Band unlocked it, and am currently using it on AT&T GSM networks for calling/texting/data. Everything on my phone is working perfectly, great phone in my opinion.

  • I use Emoze Push client on this device which gives the ability to push any type of email ,obviously Exchange ,IMAP,Gmail Hotmail but even POP3 which is very limited email protocol. I've done benchmarks with the stock ICS email client and with several third party clients and I find that Emoze has the advantage in almost every aspect. Push notification is stable and fast ,less than 60 sec. Battery consumption is low ,I�m able to work in push mode without charging for at least 22 hours. I�m quite a heavy email user so it was kind of a surprise to me because I used to have 6-8 hours max with only one account working in push. I have 5 email accounts which is about 100-200 email per day so no kidding ,this one really improved my life ,I�m less paranoid about my battery. Other features which are quite useful are the security options that allows you to find the device location by SMS or email and also to remote wipe or block by SMS. This is cool because you don�t need PC connected to the internet to get the job done ,you can simply send SMS to your phone number to activate the security process.

  • Absolutely the worst product on the market, coupled with Verizon who, in my opinion, is overpriced for the service provided. Cannot wait to change both!

  • Effectively, this phone has a serious touch screen issue!!! Becareful if u make choise of this phone.

  • I already posted this...but here is a reply. You are correct that the Droid 2 Global and Standard will not recive ICS 4.0, BUT you can root it with ICS 4.0.3 by going here . The Droid 2 is, on paper, almost exactly the same as the (semi) new Galaxy Nexus and Razr Maxx. 512MiB of RAM, Snapdragon or similar processor, and 8GiB MicroSDHC. If you think about it, Motorola made a mistake by not releasing it to the Droid 2, but thankfully we have hackers to root it for us. Heres the link once again if you didnt catch it.

  • Droid 2 will indeed not recive ICS 4.0, BUT you can root it (As everyone does) by going here.

  • Hey, I saw more specs of Droid 2 Global.

  • Trouble situación touch screen is delicate

  • Droid2 Global will not receive ICS 4.0

  • you have to unlock sim for use any carrier.

  • I love this phone.Y?Cause i owned a Milestone b4 and this is far better.Processor and ram doubled,and comes with ginger 2.3.4.Even work on Malaysia band.Simply insert SIM and straightaway use!Mind you,USSD doesn't work well.HELLOMOTO.

  • No need unlock.Simply put in a sim card and begin.if it's still cannot get out of activation press the menu button and choose wireless setting,then change network to GSM/UMTS.

  • Has ICS 4.0 released for droid 2 global? :d

  • Motorola Droid 2 Global is not able to be a phone how do you fix that?

  • Got the above unit but unable to activate/unlock the set..how do I do it...I am located in Malaysia

  • ICS is very bad for Droid 2 Global. It may be heat and drain fast battery.

  • Interesting to note that I am unable to activate the Droid 2 Global cellphone....how do get it unlocked?

  • motorola will not update this phone to ICS, bad news :( , and i thinks will be quite difficult they (moto + VRZ) unlock the bootloader because this phone is not longer manufacturing, i'm just like you waiting for a miracle (but with the droid 3 and 4 i can't see a way out)

  • A CM9 is available 4 this phone, i heard its based on ics. so i was wandering{with fingers crossed} there's a chance that we might see ics on our d2gs.(gb 2.3.4[with root access} is enough though),,,

  • Hi please how can i setup internet by data because im trying and still cant catch it ..........

  • where are you from? i'm fron Honduras i resently got it and i love it, everything works perfectly, veeery goood

  • I took it to Central America and the 3g HDSPA worked perfectly!

  • I took the phone to Europe and 3G does not seem to work in gsm network. I've tried several providers and only talk and text feature works.

  • the screen had major problems and most of the time stop working and yesterday it went totlly dark and didnt work i brought it to the Verizon store and the phone was toasted i had to get a new phone so my advice never buy this phone!!!

  • Had the same problem just fixed my own, go to settings>applications

  • Does anyone know a work around for the apparent limitation when a WiFi base uses a WEP key of less than 8 characters. Phone does not accept a shorter key and will not proceed to attempt to access base.

  • go to settings, applications, manage applications, all, text messaging, clear data. i had the same problem, did this, reset the phone and now i have no issues...

  • this phone have a dual led flash.

  • Go into settings and disable next word prediction. It will solve your prob

  • i have this ph and it freezes up when texting.went to verizon.they say its a software glitch.and that motorola has to send out up dates.i hate paying this much for a ph and it want text. My husband has same ph.and its not giving him NO trouble.can someone PLEASE fix this update or is it verizon not wanting to replace ph. Thank you waiting on reply

  • dis phone is nt a dual sim phon,, its a singl sim phon,, its incredibly fast wid 1.2GHz processr,,

  • its a cdma cum gsm phone,,ie,, u can use it wid a sim and also widout it,,

  • Best phone I ever used.totally aweome!

  • Specs looks nice.waitin 2 get my hands on 1 coz used phones r available cheap.

  • Is This Gsm Phone Or A Sim Card Phone..?

  • This phone has been a nightmare! STAY AWAY! unlocked from VZ. The screen goes bonkers and starts slecting apps moving them around and or stops working.... it likes to reboot it self from time to time after screen unlock. Worst thing is the signal. This is my second motorolla my first was the C333 since the early 2000's I have been a nokia user and NEVER EVER had a problem. D2G Sucks period. what a mistake this phone was. Paid 500 CDN for this POS. think i will be saef and get the iphone

  • Don't bother buying the samsung Ace, everything about is fake, display is poor, speed is slow, jst try some other phone

  • Am planning to buy an android phone and am looking at Samsung Galaxy Ace or Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo or Moto Droid 2......am really confused between the two..... but i recently heard that ace is a bit slow so someone pls suggest and help me.

  • The DROID2G is an incredible gadget and it is much more better and faster than galaxy s..... The phone can not be bricked technologically,totally,unimmagineably and naturally. This means that the phone is a globally perfect phone with 1.2ghz ti-omap processor.

  • For all of you asking about the "secondary camera".. the D2G doesn't have a forward facing camera. That thing you may be seeing next to the ear speaker is the proximity sensor that turns the display off during a call. I love my D2G and have since release but my only complaint is the locked bootloader that prohibits flashing custom roms. I'm rooted, oc'd, and tweaked like mad but not having CM7 makes me sad :/. They have a beta version out BASED off of CM7 (without ports) but I'm gunna wait to flash til all bugs are worked out. IMHO if they didn't lock the bootloader.. the D2G would've been damn near perfect.

  • This phone has a serious touch screen issue! offense it gets unresponsive! :@

  • hey, boss and employee were the same person?

  • my boss dropped his unlocked droid 2 global in the pool, it stopped working so he gave it to me, now it works again :D

  • In USA it works as CDMA phone only (due to special contract with Verizon). Outside of US it works with any GSM operator (Verizon unlocks it for free on request)

  • I straight dropped this phone in the water and it STILL WORKS LIKE A BOSS.

  • Yeah.... just awesome phone at a reasonable price. perfect specification,no cons!

  • is this mobile dual sim stand by or it works only on one network. i could not find any info on that.

  • Yeah..that right. Have read such claims regarding that. Plus, even so using GSM network outside US, there some problem where it can't search all GSM networks as in Malaysia. It can detect 3G of the network but not the 2G network. I kinda regretting buying this phone as i before expecting a great signal receiver on GSM network aside the CDMA. Just buy this phone if you in US. If you not, go to milestone 2. It's better. 1.2 ghz processor means nothing because it's slow compared to Galaxy S which only 1ghz.

  • Verizon has crippled the radio on this phone so that it will not worth with US Based GSM Carriers (AT&T / T-Mobile). GSM only works outside the US.

  • nope dude...

  • hey ... I'm Gonna Do the Same .. Send the phone to my Gf... have u figure that out ???

  • User manual is not indexed, worst manual for any device since Apple II +. Can't change 'time out', much too short and annoying, if I had realized this feature is would have purached IPhone like my wife did. To few user defined seetings. No way to post a questions to M, no direct return answers. I love my Xoom, why can't the Droid2 global be as good? Don't buy the 2 Global until at least these fixes have been completed. The big M did not field test enough - these items would have shown up. How hard would it be to index all documents for all devices? Fine someone you trust that has the 2 Global ask a lot of questions!!!!

  • This phone is truly amazing..indeed as it has claimed 'Droid Does' not since the reveal of the pocket pc over 10 years ago, have I been more impressed with a mobile device....almost don't need a pc anymore!..amazing...p.s...try the hoccer app.

  • I can use (unlocked) D2G enough in Japan by "NTT DoCoMo SIM card." I'm quite satisfied with my D2G because of its great processing speed. The only problematic aspect is its charging battery, which I have to charge almost every day...

  • what about secondary camera? how do i make video calls?

  • What about the secondary camera?? how do i make video calls?

  • Hey guys I don't live in Iran but I wanted to know if this phone can work with full functionality there because I want to buy it and send it as a gift to my girl friend there.

  • hi does it have a place for sim card??? i heard verizon is cdma

  • This phone has LED flash, an important specification for such a power smartphone, i think ou should add this.

  • can some body tell me what is verizon'''''::::،(

  • Motorola did this one right!! Lovely phone, love every bit of it!

  • does this phone have to be unlocked, and does it work with GO?

  • I have had this phone 2 weeks now. It is mind blowingly smooth to work with. The features of the phone are lovely. Design and build works great. Very sturdy. The only down fall to this phone would be the disadvantage of it being an verizon phone. Using it without that network has proven to have a few disadvantages. Hopefully to be fixed soon.

  • please furnish along with model

  • are u ready for Droid 3 ? 4" qHD dual-core five-row qwerty keyboard ....... .

  • Did you can send MMS?? Today, i just discovered that it cant send MMS unless we using verizon network. I've used this phone for about 2 weeks. So far, I'm satisfied with the phone despite its battery. Trying to find a better battery right now. Btw, I'm in Malaysia

  • yes

  • I've used this phone for few weeks after my purchase. I'm in Singapore and its very good and fast. The only thing if any other countries want to buy this phone they need to know it come locked to Verizon network and you have to get it unlock before being able to use the phone.

  • Is this phone available in india? And does it support a sim card or is it just CDMA ?

  • Yes, as I was told by Verizon it works with non-US sim-cards after unblocking (on request). Even after unblocking this phone does NOT work with US sims (AT&T, T-Mobile)

  • Helpppp please I wanna know if this phone could work with another sim card of other country like south america would you help me with this please...... what should i do

  • is this phone available in india. Please confirm the price too

  • Verizon cuts the price on Droid handsets; R2-D2 version is now free with a 2 year contract

  • i came to know now that its a used one. it was on a verizon data plan... but its not anymore. is there any way i can unlock it after i get it???

  • It is the same processor, just overclocked. PC processor companies are constantly re-branding overclocked processors with different names, just like this.

  • u must buy free sim droid and unlock and gsm suport sim free is important that u use your sim card in it

  • one of my friends is getting me this phone from the US. its a brand new one. i have a question. will it work in India??? according to me it should work. but i need to ask all experts here. im in love with the D2G. i will be using it on a GSM network here. please let me know soon if it will work as i need to tell my friend who will be leaving from US by 27th Feb. also if it wont work or is locked...is it possible to unlock it or make it work??? thanks...

  • Dude, this is Droid 2 Global (Global for Verizon network only _ _" ) WTF!!!

  • Can you buy this from any other company than verizon? I hate operator-locked mobiles.

  • the droid is no radio , otherwise I love this Motorola Droid 2.

  • i bought it through verizion and they gave me the steps to unlock the phone...im in india using the phone on a gsm network and it works fine...full signal and everything. the fact is buy it with a contract...after the ffirst month you can freeze your contract with verizon and pay $10 a month...or nothing at alll...im not sure, i forgot. but if u dont have a problem payin a lil bit everymonth u should be fine.

  • where u buy ur droid 2 global? ask the seller or google ur problem unlock?

  • Try to switch your network to only 2G instead of 2G/3G.

  • Nope, you're wrong, Milestone 2 is using OMAP3630, while Droid 2 Global is using OMAP3640

  • i just bought this phone yesterday, any of u who used this phone have a signal issue? mine always showing 1 bar for the signal. by the way im using in Malaysia.

  • this is awsome qwerrty phone

  • Hi Harry, This phone is available at ebay usa at very reasonable price. My only question is as I would be using in India on a gsm network will I face problems. On site it shows that the phone has bad esn, some show clean esn.Will it affect my phone. Also I want to know whether it has Gorilla Glass Display as no where on site i can find it because Milestone 2 has Gorilla Glass Display. Also this phone does not include earphones. Is it worth going for this phone over milestone 2 if I use in India on a gsm network. Prices for Milestone 2 are more than droid 2 global everywhere. Let me know you opinions on that.

  • Hi harry how are you..?and the ans to your Q is that yes this phone is the best...but not available in Indian market and will not be after looking at the Motorola condition in the Indian market soon...but as you have already bought the HTC wild fire so i guess you yourself did not get a bad deal...

  • Hi atrix team...yes it is unfortunate that the rating has gone down and i personally feel that this fone is the best so far...but i have a Q for you if you may find time to respond...you see one of my cousins is in Germany and i have asked him to get this phone for me but i am not sure weather this phone is available there or not...he also asked a few retailers he knew but did not get a sure response from them...i love this fone and want it badly he is coming to visit me in March..so if you could please let me no weather this phone it available there in Germany the GSM one or when will it be launched i will really appreciate you guys..?

  • thank u friend for your atenttion yes this is realy unfortunate but we mut know that always the best have more enemy and adverse for example look at atrix - iphone4 or iphone 3gs rate !???! and look at iphone 4 sale / so this rate and vote in this site or other site is not good reference for select the new phone for new buy u must see whats your need from phone ?

  • It's surprising because from 8.9 (Design), 9.0 (Features), and 9.1 (Performance), ratings dropped all the way to 8.1, 8.2, and 8.2 respectively. I can't believe fanboys from other brands would go this far just to force their personal choice on top. This is sad 'cause they're misleading potential buyers of this phone.

  • yes they dont like that motorola phone sit on the top place of gsm ranking !?!? not problem cause this is best qwerty slider around the world yet

  • Omg. What happened to the ratings of D2G here in GSM Arena? :)) looks like this phone's under attack...

  • Hii All, Is this phone available in India? If not than any speculation wen it would be? Which one is the better fone out of Droid 2 and HTC Desire Z? Any suggestions> Thanks

  • @ Haro, This phone is available at ebay at very reasonable price. My only question is as I would be using in India on a gsm network will I face problems. On site it shows that the phone has bad esn, some show clean esn.Will it affect my phone. Also I want to know whether it has Gorilla Glass Display as no where on site i can find it because Milestone 2 has Gorilla Glass Display. Also this phone does not include earphones. Is it worth going for this phone over milestone 2 if I use in India on a gsm network. Prices for Milestone 2 are more than droid 2 global everywhere. Let me know you opinions on that.

  • sure this is global droid with gsm network so u can use it around the world

  • can use over 200 countries dun worry buyin it with bad esn bcos dat only apply to CDMA band (U.S) currently available for sale for verizon wireless customer but u can get it from ebay (some unlocked, some with bad esn, some required unlocked code)

  • All the new Motorola phones will have remnicient of MOTOBLUR. Not sure if you're required to have an account. But the skin will be somewhat like MOTOBLUR. You can always flash it with another ROM. Not a big deal.

  • I hate to put 173 Gram Phone in my Pocket ,,, No doubt its with amazing features but i can not walk with this weight in pocket, Motrolla Plz next time Think about that ,,,

  • No secondary cam? that's definitely a big mistake.

  • is this phone available in Germany...?GSM one..?cn some one let me no pleased...its urgent i am planing to get it next month...so need to no and any other phone as good as this one..?if this is not available with the same features...?

  • do this phone support 3G on GSM??

  • hi all... pls anybody confirm if global has motoblur with it? & does it use gorilla glass display? these will be the factors for me to decide either global or m2. Thanks A Lot!

  • DROID 2 is CDMA version and overclocked version of MILESTONE 2. If you want this phone, get the Milestone 2 but it's not overclocked. It does have the same TI OMAP Processor. There is an app to overclock your DROID 2. So it's basically the same phone.

  • come on gsm team all world now this is best qwerty make review please

  • Dear GSM Arena Team, I cant wait to read your's review about this phone:) totaly believe it's comming shortly! :)

  • Don't buy it if you are planning to use it on GSM network outside of US. Verizon won't unlock unless you have a plan and the GSM sim comes locked. I had to return it because it was unnecessary trouble. Don't understand why Motorola sells it without contract if they pre-install verizon in it! Bloody morons!

  • great news we aree waiting for this phone in asia country

  • Global - is Verizon in Europe / Asia / South Africa ? Although technically capable of operating in Quad bands, it will not work away from Verizon, unless unlocked to allow any country SIM card (provider) connectivity. Or does Global mean the same as the 'world' series of baseball (USA only) ? Rather pointless having a Quad Band phone which only works with Verizon USA. SO - the bottom line is can the phone be unlocked ?

  • This phone works with any GSM Networks worldwide. That is why it called Global. You might wait for the upcoming Motorola Atrix if you are worried or not sure of the Motorola DROID 2 Global.

  • u mean to say whether it will support our gsm sim cards like bsnl,idea,vodafone,smart,tata docomo,airtel etc.fortunately ,,, i have also the same doubt.gsmarena please help us.

  • guys good news this beast of a phone is going worldwide alongwith the milestone 2, droid x, droid pro xt610, moto defy. coming to india in jan 2011.. all of them ..all gsm versions.. n tht is confirmed news.. :)

  • nice phone.but please tell me whether it will run all gsm network easily in india..i dont know what is this verizon so i am confused.

  • first world phone with 1.2ghz! good

  • no flash with a good cam!!!

  • ya 1.2ghz

  • Droid X is better than Droid 2.

  • worlds first 1.2GHz?? hahaha....!! Check your self mate!

  • anyone know when this phone surry super phone ship to all around the world such as asia country ?? i realy need this phone

  • ....I'm not sure how much clearer it could be, the phone was made specifically for Verizon, a mobile carrier in the US. you couldn't even take the 5 seconds to google that simple text to find out for yourself?!? the talk time is wrong. 8 h 20 min is only when the phone is on CDMA mode. talk time is only rated at 7 h 10 min when on GSM mode.

  • Can you use this phone with the verizon data only and have a tmobile sim for calling after you unlock it?

  • Verizon Wireless is the the Largest cellular service provider within the United States. This phone (along with other "Driod" phones) are all designed to work with their networks. This phone is a Verizon exclusive, however I'm sure in the upcoming months the GSM version will be released.

  • What does it mean by for verizon?

  • hey gsmarena !! where is the world first 1.2ghz review !!!??

  • great well done moto come soon to iran and asia

  • Well you dint checked the specs correctly then...lol

  • when it is comes in india,????????

  • Thanks for your comment. Well then, I think I'll just go for the Milestone 2 :)

  • please gsmarena review

  • this phone is realy awsome and unrivaled well done moto

  • can anyone plz tell me whether this motorola droid 2 global available in in india? if yes from where can I buy one? plz... someone

  • Again, the Droid 2 Global was designed for Americans, who mostly use the CDMA system (vs. GSM) and the main selling point of Droid 2 Global is its ability to roam overseas with the same phone for CDMA users. For those already living GSM countries, unless you absolutely need the 1.2Ghz processor, otherwise Droid 2 Global and Milestone 2 are practically the same. Keep in mind if you get a Droid 2 Global, you would need to get it unlock, usually costs around US$30.

  • By being usable in the U.S. and having 1.2 GHz processor.. Are those only the advantages of Droid 2 Global over the Milestone 2? I can't decide whether to buy the Milestone 2 or the Droid 2 Global. As far as I can see, they don't have that much difference in the specs. So now my decision goes down with the prices. Is Milestone 2 really just 290 EUR (according to GSM Arena's info)? Because if both phones almost have the same prices, I think I'll go for the Droid 2 Global. Any suggestions?

  • looks like no HDMI port. specs need to be updated

  • its best of smartphones well done moto

  • but it is good phone i m using this phone he is one of the best handset in the markit

  • motorola olympus dual-core to launch with android 2.3 in late jan 2011

  • its like motorola releases a 1.2ghz phone for the first time and then LG releases a dual core phone LOL

  • Motorola have really upped there game with Android,the spec on this thing are brilliant,i remember a couple of years ago you were ashamed to have a Motorola,not anymore,i wouldnt mind having this

  • the first smartphone with a 1.2 ghz prosessor.runs on the android 2.2 with Motorola platform,has push email support (gmail,exchange&yahoo),blockbuster mobile aplication,VCAST and Motorola music player..

  • droid 2 global review

  • if att is blocked, then forget about fido and rogers in canada.

  • thanks a lot. anyway, i'm assuming that a more powerful processor would consume more battery power.. anyway, specs diff are very little & i dont like that verizon logo on the phone. guess i'll go for M2. Fingercrossed it'll get gingerbread eh? thanks again.

  • Can I use this one in the middle of nowhere?

  • I'm not a very tecky person, though if you use the "compare" function here, you should be able to find the minor differences between Droid 2 Global vs. Milestone 2. One of them is the processor's speed. Then again, if I don't tell you the specs, one probably can't tell the difference between 2 cars about the same size, one with 130hp and the other one with 140hp. Also note Droid 2 Global has to been unlocked...

  • Hahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!!! woowowowoowowooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From television and radio to this masterpiece. I have no word's for such a masterpiece................. Hat's off to Motorola. Always keep creating such great innovative product's.

  • Actual the Droid 2 Global seems as if its both the Droid 2 and the Milestone 2 in one phone

  • 100 Moto, global & M2 are quite similar. which one would you go for? i'm close to buy M2 from ebay.. what do you think?

  • anonyMouse is talking about Milestone 2, and obviously you are comparing to just Milestone. Read properly before you make a comment.

  • Video recording is 480p not 720p. Check motorola website here: VIDEO CAPTURE RATE DVD quality (720x480p) up to 30 fps capture; up to 30 fps playback

  • best ever made

  • no you are wrong. Droid 2 Global supports both CDMA and GSM. Droid 2 is for US market on CDMA, while Milestone 2 is for Euro GSM market. Droid 2 and milestone 2 are different, not the same.

  • Iphone 4 killer!!!! Then the new iphone is going to comeout, Then a new motorola phone that is twice as good as the Droid 2 Global will kill it. (Motorola is just putting the Droid 2 Global out to show whats comeing after it.)Like a Beta

  • Droid 2 global supports gsm and cdma while droid 2(milestone 2) supports only cdma

  • Moto + Google = World Domination!

  • Oh my GOD..... R u kidding? Have you even checked the specs properly??????? Advantages of Droid 2 global over Milestone 8 GB builtin mem... 133 mb only 512 MB ram..........256 mb only 1.2 GHz... Double processor + VFX SNS integration Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic TV-out (720p video) via HDMI port Swype input method DLNA 720p@30fps video 3D graphics accelerator better Talk time Predictive text input New White Colour java What else u expect a torch lite???? An alien radar? or a Bazooka???

  • By being usable in the U.S. and having 1.2 GHz processor.. Are those only the advantages of Droid 2 Global over the Milestone 2?

  • There's a /very/ little chance to be released in Europe but certainly not Asia, it's not one of the Motorola's strategy.

  • Didn't you read the word "Verizon"??? It's only for America.

  • Wanna bet that i can make it to work here in Romania only on gsm? I said before, only AT&T gsm bands are blocked(850/1900). This bands are used in US. The rest of the world uses 900/1800 bands. On top of that, the blocking is software made. So, a litle tweakings is enough to make it work for AT&T also.It was possible with HTC TP2 CDMA version, it's possible with D2G. Just look on XDA my friend ;) Search on ebay, 50 USD to get the unlock code for the rest of the world.

  • wow!! this phone just looks sexy go moto :))

  • Can i use in Bangladesh?????

  • Great Phone! Coming from the Samsung Vibrant, I can't begin to tell tell you how please I am with this phone. I am amazed by the speed, and how everything is so snappy. There is no lag at all, the GPS receiver pinpoints my location instantly, and the physical keyboard is just great. Cons: none. I would definitely recommend!

  • The term "global" is designed for "Americans", who mostly have CDMA handsets which DO NOT work most parts of the world. If your country offers CDMA, i.e. China and Korea, there "might" be a chance for your country to get this. Otherwise....

  • global? does this mean it will be released in asia? i wonder what the price will be coz it looks good.

  • Suggest you double read the spec, which states clearly it supports WCDMA 2100...the most common 3G GSM frequency worldwide. If it doesn't work worldwide, why do you think the phone is called "global"?

  • ANOTHER AWESOME PIECE OF EQUIPMENT by the fantastic guys at MOTO LAND!!!!!! They even throw in a 1.2 gh cpu with accelerated graphics. WITH mini HDMI..... Now dig deeper,and you'll get it. They improved THE 2009 TIME Gadget of the Year Winner award winner! Yowsa!!!! One for ME of course.... One for my LADY. I'm all kitted out.... SMartPhone, AND PC in one... ForGet the Table/ Netbook category.....

  • review please gsmarena

  • uuuuuuuuuunrivaled

  • If i will buy this Phone from verizon i will be able to use it in Middle east?Becuse this is also GSM\HSDPA Phone.Can i?Or this is USA ONLY?

  • I suppose this phone cant be updated to 2.3 IF it has been released

  • Are you kidding me? FYI, I'm not commenting against the device. I'm even planning of buying the phone! :)) Didn't you notice the impatience I'm feeling in my last comment? Well that's because I can't wait to get my hands on this phone. Lesson for you? If you don't get the whole idea of what others are saying, just shut up :)

  • stop commenting against it , u don't want don't bu ok?

  • I too wish the battery of this beastie moto was larger,but still i'll probably go for it as soon as it reaches the Greek market =)

  • awwwwwwwwwwwwwwsoooooooooooooomeee

  • one word "WOW"

  • Hey guys I have recently found a great link where the latest Android mobile Micromax Andro A60 has been compared with costly Android mobiles of motorola, HTC etc.

  • this cpu is great ,but the baterry is not suitable for this great phone and camera too.

  • Many Moto Android phones have radio, from low end Quench, mid-end Flipout, high end XT701/720, Defy, they ALL have radio!

  • Last I heard has something to do with the exclusive rights to Verizon who guaranteed selling so many handsets and stuff... What would you do?

  • droid 2 global, droid pro are going to be release in france soon visit

  • Does anyone know when this phone will be available globally? I'm not liking Motorola's marketing. The Droid 2, Milestone 2, and Droid 2 Global are just the same in many ways. But I can't understand why Motorola is taking lots of time releasing their high-end phones globally.

  • Yes, there is no secondary camera and you can't make a video call. 3G is not only for video calling as some people thinks, it is also for mobile internet access, mobile TV and of course wide-area wireless access telephony. 3G is not actually a simple feature, it is a Standard for mobile phones and other mobile telecommunications. For FM radio, this is one basic feature I don't also understand why Motorola ignored in most of their new models. While other smartphones have FM radio, FM receiver and FM transmitter, motorola has none.

  • Has anyone got the chance to get the D2g with it being unlocked and is fine for other carriers? I want to get his phone, but I haven't heard of anyone having it in their hands and stating it being used as a different carrier like AT&T or Tmobile

  • awsome smartphone best design

  • yes with primary camera..

  • Nice Phone.

  • Its a 3G phone n there is no secondary camera,i hv doubt tht one cn make a video call thru it.Anybdy here to clear my doubt. N yes there is no radio also,why? Cnt undrstnd these mistakes?

  • Nice

  • Ok..but on what price? Don't forget, if they will put a mear 1500 mAh battery on a monster like that, you will be happy to turn on the phone, look on agenda then it will shut down :). On device like that you will need at least a 2000 mAh battery, if not bigger. But this means MORE money. And i wonder if it will be worthed. Even now, I4 is just too expensive. Let's be serious, with 800 euros i can buy a top laptop and a medium phone :).

  • I hope Motorola Droid 2's current specs will be released only in USA and they put a dual-core processor for the unlocked Global release model. (Never mind USA market, they re Job's lair, an apple fanboys country). Just think of this features in dual-core processors: Full HD 1080p video playback at 30fps, built-in HDMI 1.3a, five times better 3D gaming support, 1MB L2 cache, among others.

  • But the problem is; comes Q1 2011 this processor will be outdated. Samsung's 1.0Ghz Dual-core Orion processor was ready and will be released Q1 2011 and Qualcomm's 1.2Ghz Dual-core Snapdragon processor will be released before the end of this year. Take note friends 1.0 & 1.2Ghz DUAL-CORE processors for smartphones not 1.2Ghz single-core.

  • Is it Available in Dubai or in any Middle East Country ?

  • Bravo Motorola

  • shivkumar sharma yes this phone will work in india and it will hit the shop by december

  • well guy's ,girls & moto fans this phone is realising all over the world on cuming monday so its a great news for thoes who wanna purchase it !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Seems you don't get it. Indeed, this is verizon plan. Buy the phone on their network and if you go abroad, call them for an unlocking code(which means more money, of course). BUT : This band locking is SOFTWARE, not HARDWARE. Same issue happend on CDMA HTC Touch Pro 2(winmo device, but same block). They managed to bypass the lock, so they will manage to do it with D2G too :). Besides, android allows more things than winmo.On winmo, all they had to do was to reflash the radio(phone) part and it worked. I'm not that into android like i'm on wm(omnia 2 user), but i guess it's similar. Rooting the phone and some other tweaks will make the phone work in US too. Another thing, on ebay you can already find unlocking codes. 50$, true, expensive, but it's working for the rest of the world.

  • In addition to someone who already replied and confirmed this phone works on BOTH GSM and CDMA frequency, the reason for this "global" edition is simply for Verizon CDMA customers can buy a phone thru Verizon and have it work WORLDWIDE! The CDMA only version is called Droid 2, the GSM version is called Milestone 2, add 2 together and you get Droid 2 Global, get it?

  • Like i said, IT CAN BE USED WORLDWIDE,INCLUDING ROMANIA. Si eu sunt tot de acolo :). Are frecventele blocate pentru americani atat. la noi se merge pe 900/1800.

  • i love you droid global this is my wish this is my world please come soon to iran

  • HSDPA 850/1900/2100... good.

  • hmm nice spesc. but i guess this phone will be juuust for US. here more details about this device

  • It's both gsm and cdma.It works worldwide. Verizon blocked AT&T US gsm bands(850/1900 Mhz). The rest of the world uses 900/1800 gsm bands, so it can be easily unlocked. As we speak on xda forum they are trying for a fix to work on US too. I think i will leave my omnia 2 for this or a defy.

  • But it also write there.( GSM support: 850,900,1800,1900 and HSDPA: 850,1900,2100). So Global or Verizon. Pls give a definite detail about this. Thk.

  • wrong spec gsmarena it has 748ish RAM and 1.2 Ghz

  • 1.2 GH Verrrrrry Good What does For Verizon mean? Tanx

  • hi al (hey hey hey) im writing this review caus i found this phone to be a real treat , nom nom nom. i was with my lovely bf on the weekend just gone and we decided to put it in my ass and call it. but when we got the beauty of a phone up there the slider opened up and i cant get it out.. and the sexy bastard wont stop calling me.. great battery life i must say xx toodles..

  • can someone help as to where one can buy this phone is India and whether it wil work flawles on Indian CDMA & GSM Networks. Please provide the links if any. Thanks in advance Regards, Shiv

  • So then, do you know some trusted online stores where we can buy this phone? It would be my first time to buy something online if ever, so I wanna make sure my money won't be put to waste. I already tried looking for it on ebay.com, but then the prices for it were already high. Please provide the stores' links. Thanks!

  • Because probably it will apperear here at a major carrier a year after it was launched like the milestone at Orange.

  • Nice design and powerful processor

  • Droid x global 1.2ghz, maybe with 4g, video call, froyo or gingerbread. Or moto dogz 1.2ghz, video call, gingerbread, 4g before the terminator 2ghz cpu.

  • Uhm, I am from Romania, and I havent seen it on any website , can you provide any links?

  • yes you can buy phone for the full retail price which is 580$ = 425� = 3500 HRK, btw the phone has been rooted by some guys on forums, still waiting 4 unlock 2 buy 1

  • yes you can buy phone for the full retail price which is 580$ = 425� = 3500 HRK, btw the phone has been rooted by some guys on forums, still waiting 4 unlock 2 buy 1

  • World edition? But gsmarena sais they are for Verison! So again is this a phone for US only? Thanks

  • this is new record for all world

  • 1.58 sar grillllll

  • are these AT&T 3G bands along with out of country 3G, and Verizon 3G???!

  • U can buy it from QuickMobile Romania from 19 nov.

  • 1.2Ghz processing... Wow.

  • No it's chimpanzee glass.... :)

  • woaw woaw woaw 1.2 ghz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great well done moto

  • believe me, I was pissed too when the original Droid and Milestone were only in CDMA and GSM/HSDPA 2100 (non-US). This global edition now can work with just about any network and frequency with exception to South Korea and possibly a few other countries running other digital technology. What makes me more mad is that now they have this and yet they still continue to remove the built in FM transmitter component urghhh. I need it for my daily gym workouts without having to use data streams.

  • buy it on ebay if you cannot buy it locally where you live

  • buy it on ebay if you can't buy it locally

  • Hi. The specs you're referring down there are for the Motorola Droid 2. This phone is Motorola Droid 2 GLOBAL. And yes, its got 1.2 GHz processor. Here are the right specs by Motorola for this phone:

  • there is gsm on this phone, according to the specs given here

  • if its global edition it should be in GSM instead of CDMA doesnt make sense at all

  • The display is made of gorilla glass?

  • It's gsm also

  • GRV, It supports GSM.

  • Can you not read it is gsm too.its why they call it global you can use it anywhere in the world

  • why the hell it is in cdma ??? we need gsm tooooo

  • The Droid X is available GSM Flavor in Mexico right now. Supposedly under the name Motoroi X.

  • It's a Verizon exlusive phone in a way. If you want to buy it non-contractual you'll have to wait til the 29th of november for it to be in the Verizon store. And even then it's not sure if you can put any SIM-card in it and that it would work.

  • oh my gosh weeeeeeeeeeeeell done moto

  • em not a moto fan but this fone looks like a winner with the design and ALL covered Spec Sheet !!

  • Looks Awesome great...:)

  • There seems to be a discrepancy on either the publishing facet or communication between Motorola and GSM Arena. The official Motorola website specifies a processing speed of 1Ghz and not 1.2Ghz. (http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consume­r-Product-and-Services/Mobile-Phones/ci.Motorola­-DROID-2-US-EN.alt) Please rectify this at the earliest to avoid misinformation. Thanks.

  • i've read that its 1 ghz not 1.2 ghz =I ? maybe its typo and maybe not =D

  • Now now.. Let's not act as if we-know-it-all :) When people ask questions nicely, if you got nothing better to say, then don't say anything. Some people know less (or maybe nothing) about the questions they ask. THAT MAY BE THE MAIN REASON WHY THEY ARE ASKING. Don't you think? :)

  • It says "For Verizon." Is there any way we can buy this phone without the contract?

  • 1.2 GHz , currently the fastest processor on any mobile device ........... Yooooohooooo... Motorola is going to make more profits..... hope it gets in top 5 again ..... :)

  • Droid 2 Global, seeems to be an excellent phone. Does anybody knows where I can buy it? I come from Greece and I have not found any store, selling that mobile pphone.

  • hey..! so i just got my droid 2, three months ago. The CDMA only version. Is there anyway I can upgrade from that to the Droid 2 global??? I live in india but go to college in the states so it definitely makes sense to have a phone I can use in both places.! Or otherwise, can the droid 2 be unlocked so I can use it with a SIM Card in India?

  • Hey nokia fanboy You are a loser because your phone Still in 400 Mhz Processor and your and you know symiban suxxxxxxxxxx

  • Almost can be perfect your phone, but.... no xenon flash no radio no secondary camera no DivX player WTF??? How you can be popular? Look at Nokia phones, they got all including best quality video and photo camera! It's hard or imposible to integrate these few extra options?

  • amazing great specs, wo000w 1.2 ghz and qwerty, nice.

  • Man, it's GLOBAL edition.

  • This mobile will work on all frequencies, be it GSM or CDMA, hence the name DROID 2 Global.

  • I think there is not an HDMI port.

  • The phone is only for Verizon. Too sad! I don't want to place an order a Droid 2... They should make this s global phone. About the Droid X, it is NOT available in the whole world even now. :(

  • jaw dropping specs...WOW :D

  • Is this milestone 2?

  • Good work Motorola! Finaly you kick Iphones ASS

  • Great but why normal TFT
