Root How do I know if I have the Droid 2 or Droid 2 Global?

I'm trying to root my phone, but am unsure exactly if my phone is a D2 or D2G. Can someone point out some obvious things to look for in my phone?

I found this:

A external physical difference between the Droid 2 Global and the Droid 2 is that the Droid 2 Global is slightly slimmer and the camera area slightly bulges out. But I don't think that is going to help you much. The only other thing I found that can differentiate is that the Droid 2 has a 1Ghz processor where the Global has the 1.2Ghz processor.

so would I be looking in the phone system information to try to see how many ghz my processor is?

 

[BabyBlues]

Yup. Or sign in to your Verizon Wireless account and it'll tell you what phone you have

Can't you go into settings > about phone > Model number and it will tell you?

Doesnt a droid 2 global have a sim card slot?

 

[JDunc]

It should since they can be GSM/CDMA where as Droid 2 is only CDMA. I assumed all D2Gs were white too.

So would this really matter when it comes to rooting? Specifically, would I run into any trouble rooting and porting droid 2 roms to the global? I don't have a D2, I use X. Coworker wants me to get them rooted and set up on a rom, just want to make sure I won'r run into any problems and what to avoid.

Also, while I'm in the D2 section, any roms work best? Thinking I will go with Apex. Seems simplest for someone who wouldn't know too much of a difference.

He would actually need to try them all to see which he likes. That way he is informed and can make a definite decision.
