Review: Motorola Droid 2

Compared to any phone in its price range it's significantly slower (sans anything RIM makes these days and anything plagued with WinMo.) .

Bias isn't the right word. I'm not concerned about bias. But as happened with WinMo phones, the phones got judged by their peers more than on their own merits. Saying it's a good phone by the standards of a Motorola Devour is like saying the Motorola Q was good by the standards of an HTC Apache.

So let's be honest, you've got the Droid 2, a phone that can't pull in half the battery life of the quicker iPhone 4 or feels-quicker Nexus One, has a terrible camera compared to both, is slower than either, and is plagued with serious reception issues and a layer of crapware. That may not be as bad as the all-but-unusable Behold, but that's calling a C+ effort "commendable."
