PROS

  1. Upgraded Keyboard: Features a redesigned slide-out QWERTY keyboard with "domed" keys that are easier to press than the original.
  2. Industrial Build: Built with a sturdy, "tank-like" metallic chassis and high-quality materials.
  3. Dedicated GPU: Includes a TI OMAP 1GHz processor with a dedicated GPU, providing a noticeable performance boost over its predecessor.
  4. Android 2.2 (Froyo): Was one of the first US smartphones to ship with Froyo, enabling native Adobe Flash 10.1 support for web browsing.
  5. Sharp Display: The 3.7-inch screen maintains a high pixel density (265 PPI), making text very crisp and legible.
  6. Double the RAM: Upgraded to 512MB of RAM, significantly improving multitasking and UI responsiveness compared to the first Droid.
  7. No D-Pad: Removing the bulky directional pad allowed for wider, more spaced-out keys on the physical keyboard.
  8. DLNA Support: Allows users to wirelessly stream media from the phone to compatible devices like TVs or Xbox 360.
  9. Rich Audio: Equipped with a loud and robust rear speakerphone that provides high-quality sound for music and calls.
  10. Storage Flexibility: Comes with 8GB internal storage plus an included 8GB microSD card, expandable up to 32GB.

CONS

  1. Mediocre Call Quality: Users and reviewers frequently reported muffled or "muddy" audio during voice calls.
  2. Poor Battery Life: The 1400mAh battery often struggles to last a full day, especially with heavy 3G or Wi-Fi usage.
  3. No Front-Facing Camera: Lacks a front camera, making video calling impossible on the device.
  4. Subpar Camera: The 5MP rear camera was not upgraded from the original model and lacks 720p HD video recording.
  5. Pre-installed Bloatware: Ships with several non-removable carrier apps like City ID and Blockbuster.
  6. No HDMI Port: Unlike its contemporary, the Droid X, this model lacks a dedicated HDMI output for TV connection.
  7. Heavy and Bulky: At nearly 6 ounces, the slide-out mechanism and metal frame make it quite heavy for its size.
  8. Inconsistent Flash Performance: While supported, Flash 10.1 content could sometimes lead to jerky playback or system lag.
  9. Stiff Keys: Even with the "domed" redesign, some users found the physical keys still required a lot of pressure to actuate.
  10. Internal microSD Slot: The microSD card is located under the battery, requiring a full shutdown and battery removal to swap cards.
