Moto Droid 2 has high devotion at Verizon
Internal Veirzon info slipped out today revealed that Motorola's Droid 2 has triggered an unusual level of satisfaction among its owners. The Android phone has the lowest return rate of any Verizon phone, BGR learned, indicating that many of its buyers hare happier even than for the Droid X. It comes even with similarity to the older phone and a $200 contract price.
The same details also claim that the Droid 2's signal problem hasn't had a meaningful impact on the carrier's network. Although customers have complained of poor connections and drops in areas with known good signal, the Droid 2 purportedly has one of the lowest dropped call rates on the carrier. Its behavior had been a form of ironic embarrassment for Motorola, which had attacked the iPhone 4's well-known weak point by claiming the Droid X and other phones were immune.
The Droid line has become a growing cornerstone of Verizon's phone business as the smartphones now dominate sales that had once been left to BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices with lukewarm results. Its heavy adoption has helped Android Android overtake iPhone in worldwide share with adoption not seen since Apple's device, which itself has exceptionally high loyalty and low return rates.
It addresses the few complaints about the original Droid by giving it a faster processor and an improved keyboard; it's also the first and only Android device to ship with Flash installed, a point which Motorola lorded over Apple in a recent ad.

Loyalty?
If loyalty means a called a 2yr Verizon contract.... sounds like Stockholm syndrome if you ask me. Verizon nickel and dimed us for years so I don't understand the loyalty to them as a carrier.
On the other hand, Fandroids will argue the Droid 2 to the death instead of admitting the iPhone 4 is a more refined, higher quality product.
