It was pretty clear that a launch was imminent , and Verizon has now finally officialy announced that the HTC Droid Incredible 2 will probably be available on Thursday, April 28th. It could run you the standard $200 on a two-year contract, that will buy you a 4-inch super LCD screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, an 8 megapixel camera with a dual LED flash, a brand spanking new 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and WiFi mobile hotspot support. As expected, it’s also a world phone , but it surely’ll be left inside the dust by the Thunderbolt with regards to sheer speeds caused by its loss of LTE support. Full press release is after the break.
