Tim April 18, 2019

Last year, I shared the original R2-D2 DROID 2 wallpapers to celebrate Star Wars Day (May 4). Shortly after, I decided it would be cool to buy an R2-D2 DROID 2 off of eBay, only because I never got to own one back in the day. I'm so happy I did. It's not like...

Kellen September 8, 2011 77

What, you thought the R2-D2 version of the DROID2 would be left out of the Gingerbread fun? OK, I'll admit that I did too, but apparently we were wrong. The 2.3 update appears to be ready (a support page usually indicates that) and could start rolling out...
