The Motorola Droid 2, the successor to the Motorola Droid (aka Motorola Milestone), has officially broken cover on Verizon in the US after teasing us for months in shaky-handed rumour pics. With Android 2.2 Froyo onboard, the Motorola Droid 2 packs in a 3.7in touchscreen and sliding qwerty keyboard. But what else can we expect from the next generation Droid?The Motorola Droid 2 follows the Droid X which was unveiled last month. It boasts full Flash 10.1 support, Android 2.2’s 3G mobile hotspot smarts to allow you to hook up five devices to feast on its internet connection and Swype for speedy typing with the onscreen keyboard.
There’s also a 5MP camera with HD video capture and the Motorola Droid 2 also packs in DLNA connectivity for hooking up the phone to other compatible devices.
The Motorola Droid 2 arriving on Verizon in the US comes with 8GB of memory on board and an 8GB microSD card but will take up to a 32GB card to kick the capacity up to 40GB.
There’s no news yet on whether the Motorola Droid 2 will hit UK networks. There was a pretty lengthy gap between the first Motorola Droid hitting the US and the European, Motorola Milestone bouncing into British hands.
We fear it’s pretty unlikely that we’ll get our hands on the limited edition R2-D2 Droid 2 which will trundle into view in the US in September but we’ve got our fingers-crossed tightly in the hope that we’re wrong.
Let us know: do you like the sound of the second coming of the Droid? If the Droid 2 hits the UK, will you be snapping one up?
