D2G vs Droid Pro

[Xplorer4x4]

But a concern that shave is that my brother keeps telling me that my d2g is gonna get gb this week and I told him that im gonna wait till Wednesday. Should I wait a little longer?

If your bro is affiliated with Moto some how, then he might know what he is talking about. If he works for VZW, the chances diminish, but MAYBE, he knows what he is talking about. If neither of these apply, tell him to prove it. I bet he cant. We may get an announcement this week, but it does not mean we are getting it this week based on previous experience with moto. It was atleast a month between the announcement and the OTA update.

What you said was that it was junk, and my DROID pro is far from junk and to my surprise runs smoother than any rom or overclocking that I experimented with when I had my d1 and d2. The corporate exchange issues were also resolved in the most recent OTA. I also get noticeably better battery life with my droid pro stock rooted then I did with any setup I've had with previous droids. There is nothing to sugar coat, im being 100% honest...I have no reason to say otherwise. Other people's experiences may vary but I have had nothing but enjoyment out of my DROID pro and im coming from both a DROID 1 and DROID 2. So for you to say that the phone is junk is your opinion, obviously because you think it looks like a blackberry, which is fine. But the phone is absolutely not junk. I have had nothing to give me any reason to think that and I actually own a DROID pro.

As you said other peoples experience may differ. His did. It is what it is.

Also you say he called it junk based on looking like a blackberry when he clearly explained his position in his last post, the phone was problematic and therefore he is calling it junk, not because of its form factor.

His initial post is what I criticized..and his reason within his first post was regarding its similar style to blackberrys.

The droid pro has a different processor, an older one, the one from the droid 2. Then it lacks of a graphic card. So in terms of hardware it is not as good as the droid 2 global. But the form factor is better. A candy bar phone with big keys is the best choice. A lot more practical. You can type with one hand while driving.

I guess this depends on the issue, a lot of people on the Moto Forums are saying that they still experience sync issues. And, to be fair, (although Moto doesn't deserve fairness over this!), Moto did say that the OTA fixes some but not all of the sync issues they discovered.

Of course, the D2G hasn't had an update, so its sync issues are still all there.

That gets you a huge fine from the road police at least in Japan, and I'd never ever consider doing it…

Impairment-wise it's equivalent to driving drunk. And it scares me when people say they are experts at it: just means they do it a lot. I'd never forgive a texter who crossed the median and slammed into me and my 5 kids. Hope they keep ramping up the punishments.

Your missing the point, he simply said it look like a blackberry but isnt. Then in a separate sentence he said, it was junk. Did he say it was junk because it looks like a blackberry? No. He had underlying issues for calling it crap but didnt go in to it at first. Read it again. Its pointless to keep arguing about this, but I just have a habit of setting the record straight.

Then it lacks of a graphic card. So in terms of hardware it is not as good as the droid 2 global. But the form factor is better. A candy bar phone with big keys is the best choice. A lot more practical.

It the same GPU as the D2 and D2G, but your right same CPU as the D2, which is trivial really. I dont think theres a big difference between the D2G and D2s CPU. Form factor wise, the way you phrase it, the DP is better, but the D2G has the bigger keys.

I hope this is a joke to get a rise out of people. Otherwise people like you are the reason I was in an MVA and my doctor is now talking about disability. I am only 26.

I apologize for my comment about driving and texting. I personally do it only on emergencies and mostly when stopped in traffic. In any case this is applicable also to walking with a bag on one hand and the phone on the other and the ability to text with one hand only. Very rarely you walk with both hands free.

I like the bag example a lot better. Thanks. : )
