Verizon confirms existence and price of Droid 2

Not like it suprised anyone, but in a fresh press release this morning Verizon officially introduced the Droid 2. Since pretty much everyone's already seen this phone the specs shouldn't be a surprise, but here they are anyway. The Droid 2 will have a 3.7" touchscreen, a 5MP camera, 3G Mobile Hotspot capabilities, Flash 10.1, and the best part of all, it'll ship with Android 2.2. The Droid 2 will be available for ordering online tomorrow, and will be available in stores on Aug 12th for $199.99 with $100 mail-in rebate and a new 2-year contract. Good news also for those of you currently tied down into a contract, if your current one ends anytime before the end of the year, you can upgrade to any smartphone, including the Droid 2, with no penalty. All exciting news for Droid lovers, but perhaps the most excitig thing mentioned in the press release was confirmation of the R2-D2 Droid 2. The phone will come pre-loaded with Star Wars content, and be modeled after R2-D2 himself. Verizon says it'll only be available online starting in September. Oh boy!
