Droid 2 Dummy Phones Still Indicating Custom Skin?
When the Motorola Droid 2 was spotted at a NASA trade show a month ago, the spotter saw that it was running Android 2.1 with what looked to be MOTOBLUR on top (later confirmed to be the same custom skin for the Motorola Droid X that Motorola wasn’t naming). When asking a Motorola rep about the skin, they stated it was just a placeholder for testing and that the device would be housing vanilla Android. If these dummy phones (which are used for in-store display and advertising purposes) are real (and accurate), then the custom skin (which Motorola isn’t calling MOTOBLUR) will remain intact.
The dummies are being sold by Cellular Nationwide Network for $29.99. Pretty useless unless you get a kick out of trying to trick people into thinking you have a Droid 2 (which wouldn’t actually be an easy thing to do considering it looks almost exactly like its predecessor). Oh, and it wouldn’t be a bad buy if you’re running a retail store and planning on carrying the device, of course, but I imagine those logistics have already been taken care of.
