Droid 2 Global: is it Really that Fast?

Recently the Droid 2 Global was released with a ton of hype because of the fact that not only did it support calling in almost every country, but it was sporting a 1.2 GHZ OMAP processor. Is the Droid 2 Global really way faster than the original Droid 2, or is it just like a mildly overclocked device? In the quadrant benchmark, the Droid 2 Global does score considerably higher than the Droid 2, scoring around 1700 to the original Droid 2's 1500. Although this processor is 1.2GHZ, the HTC Desire HD running Sense scores 1800 and beyond with a 1GHZ processor, of course this is the second-gen Snapdragon. In what other areas does the global stand out from the Droid 2? The keyboard is actually redesigned from the Droid 2, which was a redesign of the Droid 1, it is a bit thinner, and of course, it supports networks in almost every country of the world. All in all, the Droid 2 Global is what you want if you are on Verizon and looking for a fast phone, but it isn't much of a better buy than the Droid 2. The phone is available for 199.99 on a two year contract. Be sure to share this post and subscribe! Happy holidays!
