Droid 2 to Launch in Three Weeks : Rumor

Online Reports shows that the mysterious Droid 2 might launch as soon as August 12.

Just last week, we saw that the original Droid had been listed as an end-of-life device by Verizon, meaning that no more Droids will be shipping from Motorola and support for the device will slowly taper off.

Therefore sources are saying the Droid 2 will be launching on August 12.

What we know about the Droid 2 based on previously leaked photos and video:
  • It will retain the original Droid’s excellent physical keyboard, although the keyboard buttons will apparently be slightly more raised.
  • That ledge between the screen and keyboard layers of hardware is gone, so you’ll have a nice, smooth device in your pocket or purse.
  • The device will feature a Wi-Fi tethering app, just like the Droid X and EVO 4G.
  • You’ll also have a 750MHz OMAP processor, a 5MP camera and an updated version of Motoblur.

Reports also suggest there might be a special Star Wars edition of the Droid 2 that features a white R2-D2 on the back. As you may have noticed from watching various Droid commercials, “Droid” is actually a licensed term owned by Lucasfilms.
