Verizon Wireless, Motorola Droid 2 Global Edition, Release Date, Specifications

The Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid 2 Global Edition is scheduled for a Nov. 11 release date according to various reports surfacing across the Internet, including internal documents leaked from Verizon.  The leaked documents have been followed by a Verizon Wireless product comparison chart which shows off the specs and how the Droid 2 Global edition compares to other smartphones such as the iPhone 4, Samsung Fascinate and Droid Incredible.  Interesting enough, this might be the first time we’ve seen Verizon branding on a document with the iPhone 4, is it coincidence or fate?

The Motorola Droid 2 Global Edition will feature a best-in-class 1.2GHz processor and be available in two colors, Dark Sapphire or Winter White.  The 3.7-inch 854 x480 resolution display and 5-megapixel camera with low light capability, auto-focus and dual-led flash will remain unchanged.  The global capabilities include dual-band CDMA radios, Quadband GSM and Tri-band UMTS.  Input methods will include the hardware QWERTY keyboard and on-screen keyboard which features SWYPE technology.  16GB of total memory out-of-box will consist of 8GB internal and an 8GB microSD card with the possibilty of up to 40GB if you purchase the optional 32GB microSDHC card.  Other important features include 3G Mobile Hotspot, Adobe Flash 10 support, remote wipe of device and SD card, document editing, filter email by unread / flagged / sender, invite attendees to meetings with GAL and free / busy lookup for participants.

Overall the Motorola Droid 2 Global Edition is looking like a winner for Verizon Wireless.  The carrier has started to lower the price of the existing Droid 2 by $50, giving credence to a possible end of life (EOL).  On Nov. 11 when the DRoid 2 Global edition is released will the Droid 2 Global Edition make your short list of worthy upgrades?
