As expected, the replacement for the original Droid is out. Here is one review: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2367795,00.asp
I bought one for my son a couple of days ago. If you recall, I owned the original Droid and replaced with it with the Droidx. I gave the old Droid to my son but something has gone wrong with it and occasionally it goes nuts. With him going away to college, I wanted something reliable for him. I went to Verizon store but the Droidx was backordered by two weeks. But Droid 2 was in stock so that is what I bought for him.
I did not get a chance to play with it much. But they definitely have fixed the keyboard. And the OS is the upgraded one on my DroidX which is a big improvement over the original version on Droid.
That said, now that I am used to Droidx, the smaller screen looks drab and clusterphobic on Droid 2. It is hard going back as they say .
I asked the salesguy who bought which and why. He said women tended to like the Droid 2 because it is easier for them to hold and fits in their tight pants better than men! I tend to agree. Holding them side-by-side, Droid 2 is much more comfortable to hold when making calls. Your fingers nice wrap around Droid 2. But on Droidx, they barely go around and I have really long fingers.
So I think that should be the deciding factor.
