Verizon internal documentation has confirmed that the Motorola Droid 2 will be the first Android device on a US carrier shipping with Android 2.2 when it launches in August. The successor to the ever popular Droid will feature a 1Ghz TI OMAP processor and improved QWERTY keyboard. The latest information now suggests that the Droid 2 will be accompanied by a new marketing campaign involving the Star Wars franchise as the Droid branding is licensed from Lucasfilm Ltd.
The device release timeframe has also been fixed between August 12th and the 23rd depending on the decision to conduct a soft launch via online and Telesales or a full launch via all sales channels respectively, dependent on initial shipments.
