Motorola DROID 2 Global Final Details Surface, Some Details Missing

A handy chart whipped up in Photoshop by Motorola and leaked by Droid-Life compares the DROID 2 Global to the iPhone 4 and the two other big Androids on Verizon: the Samsung Fascinate and DROID Incredible. First off, the Droid 2 Global contains that meaty 1.2 GHz processor, comes in “Dark Sapphire” or “Winter White” and still has the same 3.7-inch, 854 x 480-pixel touchscreen display. Other features include Android 2.2, Dual Band CDMA, Quad Band GSM and Tri Band UMTS for usage almost anywhere in the world with the right SIM card.
And here’s some more specs:
• Remote wipe of device and SD card
• Document editing with QuickOffice
• Inbox filtering
• Invite attendees to meetings using GAL
• Free/busy lookups for meeting participants
• 5-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash
• Dual-band CDMA and quad-band GSM
• Physical keyboard and virtual Swype keyboard
• 8GB internal memory plus 8GB pre-installed SD card
• Android 2.2
• 3 UI profiles
• 3G mobile hotspot capability
• Flash 10.1
And still we’ll need a release date and price; those details are missing Verizon and we all want them soon.







Do you know what Gold Master means in terms of iOS? It means that this is the final edition of the iOS version. In this case if you have developer access, you can load up the new OS to your iDevice. Get cracking, will ya? Via:
So this is rather interesting. You have The Samsung Mobile Event on the 8th, you have Windows Phone 7 launching on the 8th, you have several Android devices like the MyTouch 4G launching on the previous week, and if what Sprint is confirming is true, pre-orders for the HTC 7 Pro for Microsoft employees starts on December 8th. I’m just saying, 8 seems to be rather popular.
While the iPhone is the most popular smartphone in the U.S, Android is now the most dominating platform. RIM, creator of the Blackberry line saw its share go down by 6 points leaving it at 22 percent, while Apple saw a rise by about 1 point, to make it 23 percent. In the above chart, RIM on a year to-year basis is seen to have dropped dramatically, while Apple much less so. Android as a platform on the other hand, saw a surge to have 44% of handsets using Google’s operating system.
Since most of the geek tech blogging population resides in New York City, then the recent rollout of Sprint 4G to the area will make all of them feel giddy. On the 6th of November I’ll be in the Big Apple for a week, enjoying 4G on WiMAX on an Epic 4G test unit lovingly loaned by Samsung, which I’ll post results to in the final review. Sprint also shared their intense love of 4G to Hartford; CT, New Haven; CT, New Brunswick; NJ, Trenton; NJ, and Tampa; FL. Since both the Epic and EVO 4G have a mandatory 4G add-on for month-to-month service, you can start using 4G right about now.
At least this one works. See, as a mobile tech blog, LaptopMemo talks a lot about new mobile phones and technology, but not getting rid of the old and getting in with the new. If you’re a UK reader (or possibly the service even works in the U.S.) CashForMobile lets you
While it is a boring Sunday for tech news and Halloween for some, that doesn’t stop me looking for the best stuff to put out for you guys to read, does it? The Samsung Continuum, recognized by me in its unusually long-profile, is seen above and the label insides the battery compartment is after the break. This recent filing, along with others using the same model number, possibly variants, made on the 28th shows proof that the Samsung Continuum is in fact the device we’ll be seeing on the 8th of November. Now I just have to be there to figure that out, which I will.
