An image and some purported specs of the Motorola Droid X2 have hit the web but we're already getting some cold water thrown on it. It looks like the Verizon Motorola Droid X2 will be more of an evolutionary update when it lands on Big Red in the second quarter.
The Mobi Zone said the Motorola Droid X2 will launch with a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, the new MotoBlur, 1 GB of RAM, 3G-only and more. The folks at Engadget thought this sounded a bit too much like the Bionic so they asked around and found the Tegra 2 part to probably not be true.
We expect the Motorola Droid X2 to hit Verizon in the second quarter with a similar 4.3-inch WVGA (854 x 480) screen, 768 MB of RAM and a single-core 1.2 GHz core. This isn't a super update from the original but that's not much of a surprise the Droid 2 was not a giant leap forward over the original either.
So, that may make the Motorola Droid X2 a limited device for those who just want that large screen, as we're going to see some killer Android devices hit the market soon. The Atrix 4G and the aforementioned Bionic both seem like better devices than the rumored leaked specs and the Bionic will also be able to take advantage of the Verizon 4G LTE network.
I was a huge fan of the original but its looking like I may have to take a pass on the Motorola Droid X2. Obviously, we'll have to wait until this thing gets official before we can make a final judgement.
The business-minded droid Motorola Pro has been confirmed for Europe. Thats great news for corporate users. The device features a full-sized QWERTY keyboard in a candybar form factor bad news for RIM and classic BlackBerries.
Android 2.2 Froyo, a 3.2-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen and advanced security features are also part of the deal on the Motorola Pro, with special emphasis on password protection, remote tracking and remote wipe functionality. Remote VPN connectivity is also enabled.
Among other features, this QWERTY candybar has a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash, 1GHz TI OMAP processor and 8GB of internal storage topped with a microSD card slot. There is an Adobe Flash 10.1 capable browser as well. So it basically means the entertainment part is duly covered, along with the business side of things.

March 6th is the official street date, but you can lay down your money for Motorola modular smartphone right now, as the Atrix 4G and its suite of incredible Webtop docks are now available for pre-order. $200 buys you the biometric HSPA+ smartphone on a two-year contract, and it will cost you an additional $300 to turn it into a portable netbook of sorts though as we feared, yo will need to pay $45 a month for the DataPro 4GB + Tethering data plan to actually use it on the go.
Another bummer is that the HD Multimedia Dock will run $130, agood bit more than we thought we would see it for. All in all, the Atrix is looking like quite an investment, so perhaps you would be best served waiting for our full review. But do not let us tell you what to do with your hard-earned dough.
