So it’s taken months, seemingly hundreds of leaks and rumors but the final word has finally come down from on high. Verizon has announced that the Droid 2 is in fact real and will be shipping this Thursday August 12th for $199.99 on a 2-year contract.
It seems that it’s everything we’ve seen leaked, the 3.7-inch touch screen, it WILL be shipping with 2.2 Froyo upgrade, the renewed QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera, DLNA streaming and 8GB of memory and an extra 8 GB microSD card. It also has SWYPE pre-installed which is awesome and Flash 10.1.
Also confirmed is there will be a Star Wars inspired R2-D2 inspired edition of the Droid 2 which is pretty awesome. It’s said to be available online only in September and will probably sell out very fast.
Verizon is letting customers upgrade early for anyone whose contract is ending by December 31, 2010 now to any smartphone without penalty!
Preorders go on sale tomorrow!
So who’s going to line up for this one?
