[Q] Curious...

---

I'm getting the Droid 2 Global, coming from a Samsung Fascinate, I was wondering if there were any issues with this phone that will dissapoint? (Last phone, GPS and 3G data failed to work for me at all, AND IT WAS MY 3RD REPLACEMENT!!)

Also, a couple more questions I forgot to ask.

1. I heard about the the bootloader...is it that bad?

2. How easy is it to get back to full stock?

3. How easy is it to flash roms and kernels to this phone?

4, How are you doing today?

I havnt really encountered any or heard about any major ones.

The bootloader is locked, which means you cant install custom kernels and such. However there are still quite a few fantastic roms that you can flash onto your device.

Very easy actually. SBF instructions in on here and many other sites, very easy to follow, takes maybe 20 min or so, most of which is install time. (Aka, you doing nothing)

Really easy, imo. Just look at any of the rom threads and it shows the instructions of how to install. (And typically the instructions will pretty much be the same from rom to rom.)

Horrible. But that's neither here nor there, as the saying goes. Thanks for asking though.

One more last question, I promise.

I was wondering if D2 roms are able to run on the D2G, is it possible to be ported?

You can flash D2 roms but you will need to run Romer after that in order to make it work on the D2G. I believe that the SIM card slot doesn't work if you have a D2 rom flashed though but I could be wrong.

That's great! I don't think I will be using the sim card anytime soon, so I'm good.

Im guessing the battery life will dissapoint. The build quality, keyboard, processor and screen will not :P

I'm back, I received my droid but I noticed that they didn't send me a sim card with it, should they have?

I am very pleased with this phone, battery too soon to tell, but I hate the motoblur already.

You don't really need a SIM card if you're going to be using CDMA. If you go abroad and SIM from a company wherever you're going so you don't need one right now.
