Motorola Droid 2 Made Official, R2D2 Edition Also Confirmed
Verizon has finally confirmed the Motorola Droid 2 exists, and as a bonus they confirmed the R2D2 version in the same press release, how kind of them. Here are the specs they have confirmed for the Motorola Droid 2:
| Ships with Android 2.2 (Flash 10.1 as well) |
| Revised QWERTY Keyboard, SWYPE preinstalled as well |
| 3.7″ Touchscreen |
| 5.0MP Camera |
| 8GB of Internal Memory plus comes with an 8GB MicroSD |
The phone is confirmed to be due out in stores this Thursday with a $199.99 on contract price. The R2D2 edition, which was also confirmed in the same press release, will be due out in September for purchase online only. The R2D2 version will have the same specs as the Droid 2, but will
“feature exclusive Star Wars content and external hardware designed to look like the trusty Droid from the film saga.”
The only thing I don’t understand is how this is a sequel. I mean, the better keyboard layout and 8GBs of internal are nice additions (and even though they didn’t confirm it we are all suspecting a 1ghz processor upgrade from the 600mhz processor in the original Droid), but is that enough to warrant a “2”? Anyone with an original Droid think that’s enough for you to lose your original Droid for a Droid 2?
