Just as suspected, the newest Droids from the Motorola camp headed to Verizon will be launching a bit later in the summer. Just when, you ask? According to BGR, the Motorola Droid X will be landing sometime in July with Android 2.1 and “shadow BLUR,” which we will assume is the same thing as “NinjaBlur” and the new version of MotoBlur spied in recent leaked photos.
The Droid 2 will tail the Droid X, arriving in stores in August. Just enough time for Moto to apparently get a nice port of Android 2.2 up and running on the next-gen Droid. You heard that right. Might that equate to an update for the Droid X soon to follow launch? And how about the original Droid? There is no confirmation as to whether any version of MotoBlur will show up, but the Droid 2 should be sporting the same TI OMPA 3630 processor as the Droid X.

@ steve It depends on who you ask. Clock speed isn’t everything. Short answer is that a 700mhz TI OMAP processor may actually give you better speeds than a 1ghz Qualcomm snapdragon. I *think* the rough equivalency of the snapdragon is ~700-750mhz. So a 700mhz TI OMAP processor should give similar performance. Some will say better. Some will say worse.
What does the processor on the Droid x equate to ? How is that compared to the 1gz snapdragon like in my Incredible ?
Should not, is what I meant to say….. No Comment Edit here!
They should launch the Droid 2 until November to get the original Droid a 1 year shelf life! IMHO
Man, I wanted the Droid 2 by my birthday in mid-July. But I wonder if the later release will give them time to at least match the specs of the Droid X. I’d be thrilled with the specs shown in the last thread plus HD video recording and an HDMI out. Assuming the new blur doesn’t suck, which is a big assumption.
The new keyboard of the droid looks really awesome. I hope it comes to Europe just like the old droid did.
July works for me, I just hope it’s around the 4th like it’s been rumored with pre orders starting on Father’s Day.
The phone looks redic! I wish they would hurry up and make an announcement on when the official release is. A July 4th release would be great.
I’m not really a pre-order type of person but if they are taking pre-orders, I will probably make an exception this time.
By the way, I’m glad i found this site. I keep checking for updates and there is always something here! kudos!
