Droid 2 Is Definitely Coming!

Verizon has just had their summer catalog leaked by Boy Genius Report. But the most important thing seen in the leaked catalog is the sequel to the Motorola Droid (one of Verizon’s most popular devices), which is called the Droid 2. A device which Verizon has not offically announced.

So if this leak is true, we know the confirmed specs of the Motorola Droid 2, which are:

• 1GHz Snapdragon Processor
• 8GB memory card preinstalled
• 5 megapixel camera
• 3G Mobile Hotspot functionality
• Probably Android 2.1 with MotoBlur
• Silver Body

There’s no word on release date yet but ‘coming soon’ has to mean something.

Head over to Boy Genius Report to see the full catalog.

Droid Kicks Apple Where it Hurts!

You can't deny it, the Droid has got one awesome marketing team. The previous viral Droid campaign, Droid Does, contributed to the success of the Droid and it looks like they’re looking to continue the awesome ads with this one. Seen as a full page ad in the New York Times, they’ve still got some magic up their sleeves. See the ad below:

Now the bit that hurts Apple is in the bottom paragraph where it says "The Droid is the ultimate smartphone with its gigantic screen and HD connectivity. But most importantly it comes with a double antenna design.  The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like and use it just about anywhere to make crystal clear calls.”  Now that has got to hurt! 

Well played Motorola, well played...

Now the website is showing 720p capture rather than a 720p screen. Could be a marketing slip-up or could just to make people stop pre-ordering iPhones and waiting to see what the Droid X has in store.
