It’s been not up to an entire day since Verizon’s Droid 2 hit shelves (or two, when you count Sam’s Club) but the fine folks at iFixit have already managed to make their phone explode into… 24 pieces, if we’re counting right. Amazingly enough, the inner construction is nearly exactly a similar despite Motorola’s near-doubling of the horsepower (and addition of 802.11n) inside. You’ll find a nigh-identical logic board, speaker, camera and LCD screen — not to mention the exact same battery, because of this original Droid owners could have a handy swap — and what seems like the exact same steps (but Torx screwdrivers required) to take the clever puzzle of plastic and metal apart. Not that you just’d necessarily would like to do an identical on your new handset — It’s days like this we’re glad iFixit is here to take that bullet for us.
