How does the Motorola DROID 2 compare to the DROID X?
Two Smartphones. Similar but also very different.
Several of our readers have asked us how the new Motorola DROID 2 compares to the recently released DROID X. Of course, the most obvious (and probably biggest) difference between the DROID 2 and DROID X is the difference in display size. The DROID X has a large 4.3 inch display, while the DROID 2 has a substantially smaller (but still nicely sized) 3.7 inch display.
Despite a number of differences beyond display size that certainly define each phone -- think QWERTY keyboard and camera -- the DROID 2 and DROID X are also pretty similar in a good number of ways. How similar? Well, check out this comprehensive DROID 2 vs. DROID X comparison chart.
AT&T Smartphone Battle: BlackBerry Torch vs.
If you're looking for a smartphone on the AT&T network, you may very well be trying to choose between the Torch, the BlackBerry Bold 9700, Apple iPhone 4, and the Android Powered Samsung Captivate.
The next generation of BlackBerrys has debuted on AT&T, and with an entirely new form factor, wholly revamped operating system, and upgraded hardware, the BlackBerry Torch is a formidable competitor against AT&T's impressive smartphone lineup.
The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is the first BlackBerry with a full capacitive touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard similar to that of the Bold series of BlackBerrys that slides from the bottom of the device. The Torch's specs include a 3.2 inch display, 5-megapixel camera, 512MB of RAM and a 624 MHz processor.
If you're looking for a smartphone on the AT&T network, you may very well be trying to choose between the Torch, the BlackBerry Bold 9700, Apple iPhone 4, and the Android Powered Samsung Captivate. In their usual style, Wirefly has published a number of comparisons pitting the Torch against these popular AT&T phones.
