After disconnecting an antenna connector and a ribbon cable leading to the vibrator motor & control buttons, the small board at the bottom of the Droid 2 can be removed.

Between all the web-browsing and texting, when you make the occasional call on your Droid 2, this microphone lets you be heard.

At this point, the black plastic rim can be lifted off the Droid 2.

We've thoroughly torn the body of the phone down, so we've turned our attention to the sliding display.

A few screws later and the display is open, giving us a first glimpse at the backside of the LCD.

After disconnecting the digitizer ribbon cable and lifting out the earpiece, the front panel can be separated from the rest of the phone.

The LCD can be removed from the keyboard assembly after disconnecting the display data cable.

The Droid 2 uses the same 3.7 inch, Full WVGA, 854x480 TFT LCD as the original Droid.

After de-routing the ribbon cable through the slider mechanism, the keyboard can be easily removed from the back of the slider bracket.

The second picture shows both Droid keyboards, with the Droid 2 obviously being on top.

• A large D-pad panel was ditched for individual direction keys, a new record button was added, and the enter button was enlarged to more resemble a traditional keyboard.

Are you wondering if the Droid 2 has the capability to reassemble itself? So are we...in the meantime, here's a before snapshot of all the components. As soon as the Droid 2 reassembles itself, we'll have the after shot.

Thanks for joining us today during this exciting teardown.
