Features
The Motorola Droid 2 Global is a world smartphone. It offers dual-mode technology, which means it supports both CDMA and GSM networks. Here in the States, it will continue to run on Verizon's CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A network as usual, but once abroad, the phone will automatically detect and switch to a GSM network. The Droid 2 Global comes with a SIM card preinstalled, but Verizon has a policy that ensures it will unlock the SIM provided that you've been a customer for more than 60 days and are in good financial standing.

Voice and data coverage are available in more than 200 countries, and 3G data is available in more than 125 countries. You can check out Verizon's international coverage map, and also be sure to check out the roaming rates before you leave, so you're not in for a surprise when you receive your next bill.

In addition to the world-roaming capabilities, the Droid 2 Global offers a number of other features that will be useful to business customers. This includes the option to use the smartphone as a mobile hot spot for up to five devices.

The smartphone supports multiple Exchange accounts, including calendar and contacts with global directory lookup. It comes with a VPN client; the QuickOffice Suite for creating, viewing, and editing Office documents; and file and task managers. Running Android 2.2, the Droid 2 Global also has Google Maps Navigation, Voice Actions, and other Google services. Verizon services preloaded on the device include VZ Navigator and Skype Mobile.

All work and no play makes for a boring smartphone, so there are some multimedia extras thrown into the mix, such as Amazon Kindle for Android, Blockbuster's mobile app, and a demo version of EA's Need for Speed Shift. The Droid 2 Global also comes with Android's stock media player, which isn't very sexy, but gets the main job done. The player supports AAC, AAC+, MP3, H.263, H.264, WMA10, MPEG-4, MIDI, and AMR NB music and video codecs. The smartphone has 8GB of internal memory and ships with an 8GB microSD card, but the expansion slot supports up to 32GB cards.

The Droid 2 Global smartphone is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera with a dual-LED flash. Picture quality was decent. Subjects were easily identifiable, but indoor shots could have been just a tad brighter (adjusting the brightness only washed out the image) and more vibrant. At the highest resolution (720x480 pixels), recorded video was clear but suffered a bit from the halo effect. You can share media via e-mail, MMS, and social networks, as well as through other mediums. The Droid 2 Global also has DLNA support, so if you have a compatible device, you can wirelessly stream content from your phone to that product.

Verizon packages the Motorola Droid 2 Global with a charger, three international adapters, a USB cable, a preinstalled SIM card, an 8GB microSD card, and reference material.
