By The Droid 2 has been making its rounds as we inch closer and closer to launch (and – strangely enough – Verizon hasn’t made a formal announcement this close to the rumored launch date. We usually see them spill the beans a week ahead of time) and that trend continues with this full page ad that’s been showing up in various newspapers.
There’s nothing entirely special to see here: the latest Droids are lined up beneath the unreleased Motorola Droid 2 with a hint of availability: we should see the device “coming soon”. Oh, and we’re also urged to rule our empire with iron thumbs with these devices, but I’m just not sure if I can undergo such a transition. I like my flesh… well maybe I can give up just one of my thumbs for any of these.
We’ve also been treated to some early pricing details from Best Buy. As they usually price these types of devices, the Droid 2 will be available through them for $199.99 after a two-year agreement and $599.99 if you want to walk out with no contract to fiddle around with. The prices may vary if you’re buying straight from Motorola or Verizon (or any other third party retailer).
Finally, the original Motorola Droid is now out of stock from Verizon. Just in time for the Droid 2 to stroll in August 12th, no?

August 12th is my birthday :)
@yellow, Who cares.
@whatev, fun sucker! Hope you have a happy birthday, @Wello… would be cool if you got a droid 2 for a present!
@whatev, everybody but you apparently. I guess you grew up not having good birthdays. So sad. :(
