Chapter 2. Typing and Texting

For most people, the whole point of a smartphone like the Droid 2 instead of a 10-key cellphone is the keyboard. Once you get past voice calls and move on to text messaging, email, and web surfing, you need an easy way to enter text, and once again the Droid 2 comes through with flying colors. It gives you three keyboards: two onscreen ones—multi-touch and Swype—and a physical one that you can slide out whenever you need it.

This chapter is about all the things the Droid 2 lets you do with text. From basic typing, you move on to editing, searching, text messaging, and chatting. Warm up those fingers and read on.
