we have a pair of independent leaks seemingly confirming that the second coming of Moto's QWERTY-sportin' Doer will be running Android 2.2 right out of the gate. Droid Life has a tipster that's apparently spent some quality time with the device, describing its keyboard as "phenomenal" and pointing out that it feels notably snappier than the original. The Froyo connection is reiterated by Phandroid's sources, which provide images of Verizon's device database indicating once again that Android 2.2 and Droid 2 will be an appropriately matched pair when the launch codes get entered (last mooted for August 12) and this thing finally hits retail.

Over the weekend, one of our fantastic readers had the opportunity to sit down for a few minutes with a semi-mysterious future Droid family member that is expected to drop in August, the Droid 2.  When I say “semi-mysterious” I’m simply referring to all of the questions surrounding the device and it’s operating system, Blur or no Blur, feel, weight, Froyo or no Froyo, etc.  From what he’s told us, a few of those questions should now be answered…

• Android 2.2 – The phone was definitely running Froyo as you can see from the screenshot above.  As expected, the phone with its 1.0GHz processor was “noticeably more responsive” than his D1, but could have had something to do with 2.2 as well.

• MotoBlur - The phone had the same Blur skin that we have on the Droid X.  You can actually see that the notification bar is the same as the DX if you look closely.  He mentioned only 5 screens though which matches the current Froyo launcher, but had the new arrow drawer button with the persistent phone and contact buttons a la Blur.  He also pointed out the bundle of bloatware including the Blockbuster app, mobile hotspot and all of the Blur widgets.

• Keyboard - He had nothing but great remarks for the keyboard.  In fact, these comments stuck out above the rest especially when the word “phenomenal” dropped.  Sounds like Motorola fixed one issue at least.

• Feel/Look/Weight - Overall feel simply reminded him of the Droid 1.  Same weight, same screen, just a new snazzier silver color and a “grill” on the back.  Must have meant the speaker which is no longer gold.

So does this answer a few of our questions?  Maybe.  The one thing we all really wanted to know was whether or not the phone would actually release with Android 2.2 on it.  That answer should be pretty close to a definitive “yes” at this point.  To see the D2 running Froyo that has already been masked with the new Blur means we’re close.  This also means that Motorola and Verizon should be on schedule to deliver it to the DX and D1.

It’s too bad they couldn’t have slapped an HDMI port in there and a front facing camera and we’d have arguably the new king of Android.

Google warned the users that the Nexus One was approaching the end of its days. Sure enough, Google's official online store for the phone now just shows an ominous message that "the Nexus One is no longer available for purchase directly" from the company which leaves users had to go to any other retrial online store or vodafone UK to order this phone But How google sold 500K unit in this short time. So, on that note, Nexus One: for your straight-shooting stock Android ways and your unlocked radio, you'll be dearly missed -- and we hope your legacy lives on, even though your retail model does not.

We have just got some News that Nokia is now getting a New Community project by Nokia developers for making a New Mobile phone from the Nseries Family but that can Take Nokia to the top Again. The New Phone will have a Full QWERTY Keyboard and 8MP camera with Dual-LED flash, a 4.0 TFT Capacitive touch screen and with Symbian^4 on it. All that beside the Default Features as Bluetooth 3.0 + EDR, WiFi 802.11b/g, A-GPS, FM Radio, USB-on the-GO and Many Other Features that will make this phone in the top for All People who looking for High-Performance Full-option Mobile Phones. But we don’t have any confirmation about the CPU or RAM of this Device but I thought it will have 512MB RAM, 256MB ROM and an ARM-Snapdragon 1GHZ processors. 

Wait for Our Full Review of the Upcoming N9

Apple may just have posted its best ever earnings, but it's not all good news on the financial front over at Cupertino. The ongoing 'Antennagate' debacle has resulted in the company promising free bumpers to its iPhone 4 customers, a move that will cost Apple somewhere in the region of $175 million. That's the figure from Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO, who said that's how much the free bumpers would cost.

"We will be deferring revenue corresponding to the value of the cases that have yet to be ordered by or delivered to eligible customers under this offer as of the end of the September quarter. We expect the cost to be $175 million and we expect the September quarter deferral to be recorded as revenue in the December quarter."

$175 million is a huge amount of money, but it's dwarfed by how much analysts estimate a full recall would have cost Apple ... around $1.5 billion, or 8.5 times the cost of the bumpers.  Even so Apple are unlikely to pleased at having to spend $175 million, especially when it appears many, perhaps even a majority, of customers are still not satisfied. 

The Droid X has not had the best of starts in life what with some people reporting problems with its screen. Essentially some screens are experiencing flickering and banding issues and now Verizon have issued a statement on the matter in the hopes of taking it head on.

"Verizon Wireless and Motorola are aware of a very small number of DROID X units that have experienced a flickering or banding display. Motorola has resolved the issue and is continuing to ship the phones. Any consumer who experiences a flickering or banding display should contact a Motorola customer support center or Verizon Wireless."

Short and sweet to say the least. It's interesting to note the phrase 'very small number of DROID X units' because the statement itself doesn't actually elucidate that point, however, Engadget are reporting that the actual figure is somewhere in the region of 0.1% of Droid X's experiencing these screen problems. At any rate the statement claims Motorola have fixed the issue and that customers with this problem should contact either Motorola or Verizon. Case closed (hopefully).
