The Motorola Droid 2 is one of the most anticipated smart phones released this year. It features a wide variety of technological inputs and outputs, including a physical keyboard that slides out from underneath the screen, a built in digital camera capable of taking 5 megapixel, high resolution photographs, and the latest iteration of Google’s wildly successful smart phone operating system, Android 2.2. However, people interested in purchasing the Droid 2 will also likely be interested in some of the Motorola Droid 2 accessories available for buying on the market. For example, consumers look into acquiring chargers to keep their droid 2 charged, or cases to protect their long term investment. Many Motorola Droid 2 chargers are available, including chargers that plug into your car, and Motorola Droid 2 desktop chargers that can be plugged into any outlet in your home. There are even USB chargers available, which can be plugged into the USB port of any laptop or desktop computer in your house. This guide will provide information on the different types of cases you can buy to protect your smart phone investment for a long time to come.
Although it may seem at first like there are a near infinite number of cases to consider for your new smart phone, there are really only two main types of cases on the market, and the type you choose will depend on your budget, interests, and aesthetic preferences. And in the end, if you want to invest in every type of Motorola Droid 2 cases, you can do that too. The two basic types of smart phone cases are plastic cases and leather cases. There are a few odd exceptions, such as wooden cases or metal cases, but the overwhelming number of cases you come across will either be made of plastic or leather. Let’s look at plastic cases first. In general, you will have a wider price range available if you decide to invest in a plastic case, as well as a greater range in the kind of protection you can buy.
There are essentially three basic types of plastic cases: hard plastic cases, which are heavier and tend to cost more, but are also far more likely to protect your Motorola Droid 2 in the event of a fall, soft silicone cases, which can be very colorful and aesthetically pleasing but somewhat less likely to protect your smart phone from accidents, and finally, ultra thin covers that go over the phone itself and serve as little more than scratch protectors. The kind of plastic case you select, as described above, will depend on your specific needs. Whatever you get, try it out with your smart phone beforehand if possible, to ensure you like the fit and feel of it. Alternatively, you can look into leather cases, which are generally more expensive but also have a more classy, timeless look.

Featuring The BlackBerry Torch
Posted on 3 September 2010 | No responses
The Blackberry platform has some catching up to do. Although their previous models, while good phones, does not live up to their competition. So, going back to the drawing board, Research In Motion(RIM) has introduced the next generation of the Blackberry operating system named Blackberry 6 and have also released a new phone to go with it: the BlackBerry Torch. This is fresh ground that RIM is treading. So, what are the top features of RIM’s newest flagship phone?
The best feature of the Blackberry Torch is that it is a portrait slide. This form factor makes it difficult for Blackberry Torch cases to be manufactured, but it is a welcome breath of fresh air in a world of touchscreen slabs and landscape sliders. Having the ability to slide the screen away to unveil the keyboard gives you plenty of extra room to put stuff on the screen. The screen is 3.2” tall–comparable to the keyboard-less Storm and Storm 2. You may want to consider buying Blackberry Torch screen protectors to prevent smudges from ruining it. Despite the size, the Torch has a long battery life. Under normal usage, it should last you a couple days. In an age where having to charge at least every night and in some cases during the day too, this is impressive. Behind the screen, though, is the same keyboard that, if you have used Blackberry before, you fell in love with. It is still just as natural to use as any of its predecessors, but now it is not taking up screen real estate. Plus: no pocket dialing!
The large touchscreen is complemented by a redone operating system. While the design of the home screen is not significantly different than that of its Blackberry 5 counterparts, the text and graphics have been smoothed out and the whole look and feel of the operating system has been made more consistent. It is also primarily a touchscreen device, meaning that drop down menus are kept to a minimum. Also, whereas the applications list and the home screen were separated into two different screen, apps are now accessible with the swipe of a finger.
In addition to the new operating system is a new universal search function. It lets you search everything on your phone, no matter what type of content it is. Then, the results are sorted into different categories like browser history, RSS feeds and more. This implementation is probably the strongest implementation of universal search on a mobile phone. They have beaten Google at their own game.
Despite all the changes, the Torch is still obviously a Blackberry device. RIM’s iconic universal search is maintained, the App World is still in place. RIM has included a new Webkit browser, but it looks and feels similar to the older browser. Because of the changed form factor, you will need to buy new Blackberry Torch accessories, but other than that, it is a standard Blackberry device. Just a much better, more refined device.
