0 Droid 2 with Froyo & Flash 10.1 coming to Verizon on August 12th

The Motorola Droid that spread the Android cult to the US market- Motorola and AT&T have decided to release the new version of the phone. This is probably an attempt of the company to recreate the Droid magic again.
The successor definitely is more powerful than the original Droid, as it carries the Android 2.2 platform; way higher than what the Droid had to offer. It also includes support for Flash 10.1.

Features of Droid 2

Droid 2 doesn’t stray too far from the original’s hardware. It has a vertical QWERTY slider with a 3.7″ WVGA touchscreen, includes a 5MP autofocus camera with dual-LED flash, and has GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth. The main changes appear to be an upgrade to a 1GHz ARM processor, 8GB of built-in flash memory, a slightly revised slider mechanism, and a redesigned keyboard (which looks to be a significant improvement on the original).
The most important improvement in the software is the speed boost. The people over at Ars Technica have tested the device and have found the speed to be twice the speed of the old Droid. The Droid 2 includes the capability to turn the device into a 3G mobile hotspot (for an extra charge, of course) and comes supplied with the innovative Swype onscreen keyboard.
The Droid 2 is close enough to its competitors, however, then the non-phone factors start coming into play. The network reception is vastly better on this phone, getting signal where iPhones and G1′s don’t (one reason being the Verizon network). Once the Droid 2 and Droid 2-like hardware starts going to Sprint and T-Mobile, you’ll also have a choice to compete on plan price as well.
Droid 2 should be available from Verizon and authorized resellers beginning August 12. With a two-year contract commitment, it will cost $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate.
