Looks like a Motorola shipment might have fallen off the back of a truck, as the guys from Android and Me had an impromptu roadside hands-on with the upcoming Droid 2. On the outside, it’s pretty close to the original, save for a few cosmetic tweaks. The keyboard, which we’ve already seen, trades the D-pad for arrow buttons (any gamers getting upset yet?).
Under the hood is where the action is with a beefed up processor — it’s got the newer TI OMAP 3630 running at 1GHz (and the same PowerVR GPU), and benchmark tests show it towering over its older sibling. We’ve got our fingers crossed that Verizon and Motorola will announce the Droid 2 this week, hopefully with Android 2.2 on board. In the meantime, stay tuned, and peep some video after the break.
