Need advice: S2 or Droid

[suby723]

Get an s2 or wait for a better android device. Motorola is sub par with hardware and I wouldn't trust getting a year out of a Motorola device.

I would say the camera issue alone would keep me from getting a Droid. I looked into it and thought about giving it a go but I'm sticking with my S2.

FWIW whenever you ask these kind of questions in a particular devices own forums, you can probably expect to get bios answers. Just my opinion.

It is a good review, but the problem with relying on "user reviews" is that "user preference" always ends up being the tail wagging the dog and bias creeps in.

In short, it is best to rely only on your own personal experience with a device, and then only with a decent amount of time allotted to make a final decision ... thus the immense value of the "30 day return policy".

Glad to hear Mooney!

You know I really wanna like the Droid. I just spent about 15 minutes playing with one at the VZW store and I like the look/feel of the interface but I don't want to get locked into the CDMA only world. If this phone was also Quad Mode with GPRS like the Storm1/2 then I would probably live with the e-mail quirkiness just because it seems so "cool." I haven't really decided whether I want to upgrade to the Storm 2 now or wait since the next 5.0 OS for my Strorm 1 had really improved things. For the moment I think I will wait to see if there are any interesting deals on Black Friday and if not maybe I will upgrade next weekend.

However, like I said, the dual-mode CDMA only Droid makes it a deal-breaker for me when traveling internationally. Having the Storm data plan (cheap at $10 unlmited for 2 weeks) saved me in Chile when my laptop broke. It was also nice to be able to use e-mail when in China. VZW data plans overseas are great but the phone plans are sub-par. Now I wonder if Skype will work on the Storm soon via Wi-Fi. THAT would be a killer app and might be a way to use the Droid overseas.
