The Droid 2 offers Call Waiting, so it lets you know when you have an incoming call while you’re already on a call. You can choose to either answer the new call—and put the first call on hold—or ignore it and let it go to voicemail. If you’re a real fast talker, you can even keep both calls going at once and switch back and forth.
When you’re on a call and another call comes in, your screen shows you the phone number of the second caller. The phone won’t ring or vibrate, and at that point, you’re still on the call with your first caller. You have two choices:
Answer. Tap this button, and you immediately switch to the second call. The first is put on hold. Make sure to tell the first caller you’re putting her on hold, or else you’ll lose a friend. When you answer the second call, a green button labeled “Switch Calls” appears onscreen. Tap it to switch between the two calls.
There’s one annoying oversight with the way that the Droid 2 handles call waiting: You can’t end one call and then talk on another. When you tap “End call”, you terminate both calls. However, there’s one saving factor—if you’re on one call and tap “End call”, the other call is also terminated, but that person’s phone will immediately call you right back.
Ignore. Tap this, and the incoming caller will be sent into voicemail.
