We’ve learned from a source almost the placement that the rumored global version of the Droid 2 with GSM and CDMA radios is truly an analogous phone as the also-rumored Droid Pro — although Verizon apparently has an inclination to fiddle with branding right up until the last minute, so the retail name could still change. It’s just like the current Droid 2 in every way excluding the undeniable fact that it houses a GSM / HSPA radio for global roaming, though we’re not ready to confirm previous rumors that it’ll be available in a white version; presumably, you’ll pay a little more than the Droid 2′s $200 on contract for the privilege of having the ability to take your buddy overseas. Barring any last-minute delays, we should always see it launch within weeks.
In the event you’re sick and uninterested in Motorolas, let’s switch gears a piece and speak about the follow-up to LG’s enV Touch. Interestingly, LG shall be switching from a proprietary featurephone platform to Android for this one — called the enV Touch 2 — and should give it dual touchscreens: one on the surface, and another on the inside for once you flip open the clamshell. As you could possibly expect for an enV-branded device, there’s also an entire QWERTY keyboard. It’s currently running Android 2.1, though it’s not clear whether that’ll be upgraded to 2.2 by the time we see a release toward the holidays. It’s said to be pretty big and heavy, that may be a drawback for some — but on the flipside, it’s apparently a world device, so that’s a plus. enVs historically haven’t been essentially the most exciting things in Verizon’s stable, but we’ll admit, we’re curious to peer this one get fleshed out.
