Motorola Droid 2 Just like the original Droid, the Droid 2 is a slider, but beyond that there aren’t a whole lot of similarities. The Droid Deuce offers a battery usage life of 575 minutes, a nearly 50 percent increase over the original. It comes stock with Android 2.2 Froyo and Adobe Flash Player 10.1, and it features 8GB of on-board

memory in addition to an 8GB miroSD card (expandable to 32GB). The 5GB camera/camcorder records DVD-quality 720x480 video at 30fps. The Droid 2, which runs on a 1 GHz processor, can support up to five devices as a Wi-Fi hotspot. “Star Wars” fans can show their enthusiasm with a special namesake R2-D2 version, the backside of which is designed after the famous robot. Price: $199.99 with two-year contract

Motorola Droid X The Droid X shuns the slider for a candy bar body of more Evo proportions. It features a 4.3-inch 854x480-pixel high-res screen to display its 8-megapixel photos or 720p (1280x720) high-def video, which also can be displayed on a high-def display via the HDMI out at up to 30fps playback. As is becoming expected of smartphones, the Droid X can function as a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to five other devices. The Droid X packs a 1Ghz processor, up to 8GB on-board memory and a pre-installed 16GB microSD card, expandable to 32GB. Price: $199.99 with two-year contract
