Another Motorola Droid 2 spotting, reported and photographed by KA7E11 over on Howard Forums. �There are additional comments there from multiple posters that Verizon store reps are saying it’s�August 12th for a release date. �A call to my local Verizon Wireless had a not-in-the-know rep who “thought it was end of August” but couldn’t get anything more specific from his colleagues.

This video shows the Droid and Droid 2, side by side. �There hasn’t been much new Droid 2 video shared since then.

And here’s another photo from our tipster’s Droid 2 spotting last week.

This is the third hot Android phone coming this year. �Both the HTC Incredible and the DroidX are still backordered. �Will the Droid 2′s specs convince some customers to switch orders, just as frustrated wanna-be Incredible users switched to the Droid X in July? �Here’s a look at them, courtesy of Into Mobile:

512MB RAM (approx. 200MB available on boot)
OMAP 1GHz processor that scales between 300MHz and 1GHz
microSD card slot under the battery (not hot-swappable)
5MP camera, �similar to the original DROID
8GB internal storage
six sensors including a 3-axis accelerator, 3-axis magentic, temperature, proximity, orientation and light
1300 mAh battery (same as the DROID and CLIQ) that provides a full day usage
extra strong vibrate
two-tone coloring with a smokey chrome on the front and darker coloring on the back
SWYPE pre-installed
Froyo – Android 2.2 with a�modified Motorola MotoBLUR interface similar to the one that debuted on the X

That’s right, the Droid 2 is shipping with Froyo already installed. �If you’ve been waiting for a faster Android phone with a physical keyboard and you want the Verizon network, this may be the Droid you’re after.
