According to a very reliable source, Motorola Droid 2 is going to have a soft launch on August 12 and an official launch is scheduled on August 23 to give way for the completion and enhancement of its promotion and advertising plans.

What’s so amusing is that the Motorola Droid 2 will come with a special Star Wars edition phone that comes with a white R2-D2 on the back. Apparently, this is not Verizon’s first time to have Star Wars in their phone line up. Previously, with its license from Lucas Film, it also had come up with the Big Red which was sent to various media outlets last year.

Upon looking at Droid 2, we can say that appearance-wise it is very similar to the original Droid. The Droid 2 is rumored to come up with a pre-installed 8GB microSD card. It will run with the Android 2.1 OS but Verizon may have the option to upgrade it to Android 2.2 upon its official launch.

Aside from these, the Droid 2 also comes with:

• 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen
• 750MHz OMAP Processor
• Wi-Fi tethering
• 8 GB internal memory
• Updated QWERTY keypad
• 5 MP camera
• New version of Motoblur
• GPS
• 3G data

The Droid 2 has no HDMI port as well as a front-facing camera. But this new mobile device is seen as a close rival of the iPhone 4 in the future. The Droid 2 is launching very soon and rumored to be offered at $ 199 under a contract and around $599 if standalone. These prices are not yet confirmed and still subject to change when it penetrates the market.

With the initial specs being laid down, it seems that the Droid 2 has some pretty nice specs that include its processing power. We just hope that it can upgrade to the Android 2.2 in the future.

For now as far as we can see, the specs look strong and believe to be more than sufficient for most users. It may not be able to catch up with the iPhone 4 nor EVO4G but it looks better than that of the original Droid. As of now, we’ll just have to wait and see for ourselves what the Droid 2 has in store for all of us.

The Motorola Droid X is eyed to compete with Apple’s iPhone 4. And as of present, it is earning so much popularity which is not so surprising for its manufacturer. Motorola, Verizon and Google have seen this device to stand out even beforehand because of its relatively large screen and high definition video player accompanied by amazing features that makes it a great competitor for the iPhone 4.

The Droid X runs an Android 2.1 OS and expected to have a software upgrade to Android 2.2 by the end of summer. It has amazing features such as Swype’s messaging technology, MotoBLUR, to name a few, and mobile hotspot service which will be available for only $20 a month.

The Motorola Droid X is now available for those Android phone fanatics but those who ordered online needs to wait for their orders which are expected to be shipped out starting July 23. According to Verizon Wireless spokesperson Brenda Raney, plenty of this Droid X smartphones will be distributed among the stores to meet the demands of interested consumers. Each store is expected to have around 50 to 100 units of Droid X and enough stocks will be available at its regional warehouses.

But despite the news of Droid X being sold out, there are also some ongoing rumors that the true reason behind this is a low inventory level of the said smartphone and not much of its popularity. But there is no confirmation on these ongoing rumors. And with Verizon Wireless spokesperson stating that enough stocks will be available, we may assume that this rumor is not true at all.

The Droid X is now available at a very affordable price of $199.99 with a two year contract and after a $100 mail in rebate. Verizon is also offering an upgrade for those Verizon customers whose contract are about to end within this year.

It looks like the popularity of Droid X upon its launch is too much of a surprise. Will the Droid X surpass the popularity of Apple’s iPhone 4? This question is yet to be answered.

Motorola WX445 is just the model name of this upcoming phone. They say that it will be released under a different phone name. A number of people who had seen the initial specs of this phone based on these leaked information finds the Motorola WX445 as being just an ordinary and low-end type of Android phone. In fact, it will be released running the Android 2.1 with Motoblur operating system.

Some even describe this phone as “cheap looking” and finds it not impressive at all. As of present, specific details regarding its features and specs has not yet been detailed by Motorola. Let us try to check out its initial specs based on the initial information available:

According to some initial information that we have gathered:

• It will sport a touchcreen ranging from 2.5 to 3 inches
• Includes a built-in flashless digital camera (pixel count is still unknown)
• Comes with a pretty light 1170mAh battery

As of present, those are the only available information regarding this device. Some tipsters who sent information to Engadget said that the WX445 looks like the Palm Pre less the keyboard and its looks a little cheaper.

This may not be a complete information about the WX445 and mainly all speculations. But it may already give potential customers who intend to purchase an Android phone in the future an idea of what this phone will be like.

Motorola and Verizon has not yet announced the official specs, release date and price of this upcoming unit. Based on these information, it appears that this upcoming phone from Motorola is not a threat at all to HTC EVO 4G. It seems that is just a cheap device for ordinary use. But this we have to prove.

We’ll just have to wait for the official announcement of Motorola and Verizon and see for ourselves if this specs that leaked into the gadget websites like Engadget is accurate enough or it may be just a strategy for Motorola and Verizon. Who knows, they might really be preparing for a better phone than what we are expecting.

Let’s just wait for Motorola’s official announcement. So keep posted for more updates.

It seems that Motorola is coming out with a very competitive device with the Motorola Charm. The Charm is expected to be available in golden bronze and cabernet color on summer time and will be exclusively distributed to T-Mobile USA customers. As of this time Motorola haven’t announced its pricing scheme as well as the exact release date of this amazing smartphone. So T-Mobile subscribers, watch out for it.

As of present, Motorola is running Android 2.1 and still on the process of finalizing the details before it will be upgraded and ship with Android 2.2 version as it penetrates the market on August.

According to Droid Life, who got a chance to have some pictures of the upcoming Droid 2, this product is expected to be launched with the following specifications:

• Comes with a 3.7 inch WVGA display
• Runs in a 1 GHz Ti OMAP 3630 processor
• Wi-Fi tethering
• Comes with an 8GB internal memory
• Pre-installed with an 8GB SD card
• Has an updated landscape-oriented keyboard
• Equipped with a 5MP camera but has been upgraded to perform more quickly
• New version of Motoblur
• Has no HDMI port
• Has no front facing camera
• Has a GPS receiver

Motorola Droid X and Droid 2 have almost similar software and hardware features but still maintain its own distinct character. Nothing much has changed on its exterior except for its silver colored upper bezel and its redesigned keyboard. The keyboard still comes in 4 rows, but the directional pad was removed giving room for larger keys. Each key also was raised which is favorable for typing or entering text.

The Droid 2 almost doubled the frame per second as compared to the original Droid even they have the same GPU as a result of some GPU benchmarks. It appears that Droid 2 has an edge as compared with Droid X when it comes to software features but basically the same when it comes to its hardware.

Some people may get confuse with the arrival of Droid 2. They may find it hard to choose between the original Droid X and the upcoming Droid 2 by just looking on its external appearance. It’s just matter of choice. But if you are looking for a device which is more centered on its media application, I can say that the Droid X would be a better option.

If you are already a Droid owner and looking for a new phone, the Droid 2 may be a good option or you may just opt to wait for the future phones to be launched by Motorola. Verizon has not yet formally announced the launching of Motorola Droid 2 and the price for this unit has not yet been decided (Androidandme claimed that it might be priced at $199 with a 2-yr contract) . Watch out for future updates.

Verizon created the right teaser for them by placing a much nearer than expected date in their Droid X commercial. The 07.02.2010 digits in the screen aroused speculation of its much awaited release date. However, was that really the most awaited day?

Recent news blogs reveal that Droid X will be available on July 15. Droid X will of course stir chaos on its release because of its promising new features. As advertised earlier, Droid X has a 4.3 inches WVGA screen, and HDMI output. Take note, it has a more huge video focus. Plus, it was partnered with Blockbuster for an application where you may buy and rent films. You can download all your favorites if you want. Display will have a WVGA resolution of 854 x 480 pixels; 400,000+ pixels at a 16:9 ratio. Its keyboard is a multitouch allowing you to press keys at the same time.

Good thing for fast people. Also, it is preloaded with the Swype virtual-typing utility. Droid X appears glossy and classy due to its mirrored trim. And of course, Droid X has the amazing 8-megapixel camera and is able to capture 720p video. Tried by a few, the video plays smoothly. Finally, Android 2.1 will be its OS once released. Nevertheless, the much awaited Android 2.2 OS will be available by summer as an upgrade since it will not be ready on its launch. The usual specs are there too, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G. To Droid X, one can connect up to five wireless devices.

On their June 23 introduction of Droid X, Motorola compared the device with the iPhone 4. Obviously, Droid X was the rival release as iPhone 4 goes on sale on the 24^th. It is iOS from Apple versus the Android platform. Who do you think will be loved more? I think that has to be found out in the upcoming updates. So stay tuned.

If you have plans of buying one and still undecided unto which model between Droid X and iPhone 4 to purchase in the future, the following comparison between Droid X and iPhone 4 might help.

First in line is its processor, both Droid X and iPhone 4 runs on a 1GHz processor.

Second, when it comes to storage, Droid X has the edge over iPhone 4 because of its 8GB onboard memory plus a 16GB microSD card. It can support microSD card up to 32GB and even extendable up to 40GB. The iPhone’s storage capacity is limited only to 16 GB.

Third, when it comes to portability, Apple iPhone 4 has the advantage over Droid X with its 2.3 inches wide and 0.37 inches thick at a weight of only 4.8 oz.

Fourth, talking about connectivity, Droid X’s ability to act as hotspot for up to 5 WIFI devices and having a HDMI output port makes it a winner as compared with the iPhone 4 which doesn’t have this feature.

Next is battery life, Droid X has a slight edge because of its battery being removable ,also talk time is 8 hrs for Droid X while iPhone has 7 hrs talk time. However, when it comes to standby time, iPhone has 300 hrs while Droid X is just 220 hrs.

When it comes to camera, Droid X is said to be the winner because of its 8MP resolution as compared to Apple’s 5 MP. It has also a dual LED flash and a real shutter button. But when it comes to videoconferencing iPhone 4 wins because of its front-facing camera that is very good for video calls. With this we can say that it’s a tie between the two because both have a distinctive feature.

And last but not the least is with regards to display and resolution capacity. Motorola has a 4.3 inch screen which is definitely larger than iPhone 4’s 3.5 inch screen. But because of iPhone 4 having more pixels per inch in its Retina display, we can say that iPhone 4 wins in this category.

Whether iPhone 4 or Droid X wins this battle doesn’t really matter. What matters most is that the consumers who intend to buy these products will be satisfied and happy with their choice. Because of this competition between Apple and Motorola consumers have the assurance that they will always come up with a great product.

Like most modern smartphones, the Droid X runs on a 1GHz processor. It is encased with a stunning metal casing that makes it even more attractive. Motorola Droid X features a 4.3 inch screen that will be great for watching videos. It has also an 8-megapixel camera with a mechanical shutter and dual LED flash. But in terms of picture quality iPhone 4 is considered to be better because of its higher resolution and IPS screen technology.

With regards to storage capacity, Droid X has the edge for it comes with a 8GB of built in storage as well as a 16GB microSD card. It supports microSD up to 32GB and even extendable up to 40GB. The Droid X has also a HDMI-out port, WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth and can record up to 720p video. It can also function as modem for $20 extra charge per month. With $20 extra per month the Droid X can act like a mobile hotspot and connect up to 5 compatible Wi-Fi devices.

Upon its release, Droid X won’t ship with latest version of Android 2.2 but only with the current Android 2.1.But sometime in late summer it will ship with Android 2.2 and Flash10.1. Droid X will also have Swype, a system that allows data entry on the software keyboard without lifting your finger.

Another advantage to look forward to is Droid X’s noise cancellation technology which aims to block other sounds around you while making or receiving a call. With this feature, you can clearly hear the voice on the other line.

This will be an exciting battle between Droid X, EVO 4G and iPhone 4. It will also be a competition between the two largest wireless carriers, Verizon and AT&T since Droid X will be exclusively Verizon. All these great features mentioned are yet to be seen. Droid X is expected to be out in the market by July 15 with a price of $199 after a $100 rebate with a two-year contract, $30 for unlimited data and an extra $20 per month for hotspot functionality (2GB cap). And according to Verizon those customer whose contract is about to end by 2010 is eligible for an upgrade.

With these great features of Droid X, I know that many people will be interested to buy one. How about you an iPhone 4 or Droid X?

Verizon had announced three basic features of the Droid X. The said phone will include a 4.3 inch display, HDMI output and 720p camera. The first two features is nothing spectacular since some phones already had it, but with the 720p camera, it is wonderful. The Verizon site had originally tagged the Droid X as having a “720p screen” but later it was changed as “captures 720p” for clarification and to avoid confusion among buyers.

Apple iphone 4 is already close to this with 960 x 640 display. The display screen is very responsive to taps and other multi touch gestures. However, the Droid X prototype that was first released had the same 854 x 480 resolution as the original Droid.

Droid X has the similar look as EVO 4G. Although it is noticeable that it is longer and wider and has the four physical buttons found at the bottom of the screen. The new Motorola smartphone feels light to carry and looks portable.  Another feature is the new navigation bar at the button that allows easy access to other Android panels. It will also be preloaded with a Blockbuster application and a DLNA type application.

Motorola Droid X will be run by Android 2.1 Éclair and a new UI tagged as Shadow BLUR.

The said launching of the new phone is much awaited especially by Droid fans. Executives from the company of Verizon, Google, Motorola and Adobe had already spoken of the event which is entitled as “Unleashing the Next Generation of Droid”.

Well, looks like we need to watch out for more details and info of the launching of the new Droid X. Stay tune guys!
