OK, so I just got my D2, but I really thought hard about getting the DInc. So I made a comparison chart of the two
Weight: DInc= 4.6 oz; D2= 5.96 oz --> This is really isn't that big of a deal since the droid is not "heavy" by any means, in fact it feels solid and will built.
**Winner: tie (slight advantage to DInc)**
Battery: DInc= Talk- 5.2 hours and standby- 6 days; D2= talk- 9.6 hours and standby- 13.1 days --> D2s battery lasts much longer than DIncs. This is really D2's only big advantage over DInc (besides the keyboard). **Winner: D2**
Display: DInc= OLED 480X800; D2= LCD 480X854 --> I don't think there is any difference between the D1 screen and the D2 screen. I just took my D2 out into direct sunlight and I could still see the screen clearly (it was much better than my old LG Dare). Many reviews have said that you can see DIncs screen better in sunlight than D1.
**Winner: tie (slight advantage to DInc)**
Screen size: DInc= 3.7 inches; D2= 3.7 inches
**Winner: tie**
Processer: DInc= 1000mHz snapdragon; D2= 1000mHz (forgot the name...oops
) --> I really don't know about all the speedtests and numbers, but from what I'm hearing they're about the same. When DInc upgrades to froyo I don't think they'll be any difference between them, IMO.
**Winner: tie**
Memory: DInc= 6.4 GB; D2= 8 GB --> This really isn't a big deal since you could always add more memory with micro SD cards
**Winner: D2**
Camera: DInc= 8 MP; D2= 5 MP --> This really wasn't a big deal for me since I already have a 12.2 MP point and shoot camera; plus cell phone cameras can't really beat stand alone point and shoot cameras...at least not yet
.
**Winner: DInc**
Interface: DInc= HTC Sence; D2= toned down version of motoblur --> I played around my friends DInc and I really liked Sence. Also, many reviewers likes Sence better than Motoblur. The D2 has a more tuned down "less in your face" version of motoblur. It's still not as good as Sence, but it works for me and I seem to like it!
**Winner: DInc**
Physical keyboard: DInc= No; D2= Yes --> This is really the only advantage to trading in your DInc for the D2, IMO. The redisigned keyboard is a lot better than the D1 and I'm going to use a lot, especially for typing long emails and messages.
**Winner D2**
Design: This is really up to you. Personally, I love DInc's design (all of the new HTC's, really). I wasn't too crazy about the silver and blue on the D2 when I first heard about it, but now that I have it I really like it, I think it fits the D2 well.
**Winner: beauty is in the eye of the beholder so it's completly up to you
**
So there you have it, not a whole lot of difference between the two. I thought for hours which one I was going to get. I choose D2 because I could get it now (with DInc I would have to order it b/c my verizon store didn't have any). Also, the people at verizon told me that, for whatever reason, Motorola phones get better signal reception than HTC phones do. I live in a rural area, so I need all the reception I can get
.
So, should you switch? It's really your call. If you REALLY want a QWERTY keyboard than I might switch. If not, I see no reason to switch because both inside and outside they're really similiar. I got the D2 and love it but I think I would have been just as happy with the DInc.
Hope this helps and best of luck
