Motorola Feedback Network members have started to receive emails about a “confidential project for Droid R2-D2 owners”. While the email only asks for interested parties to sign up, and makes no mention of any update or soak test, the fact that Gingerbread continues to roll out to the Droid 2 and Droid 2 Global raises suspicion that Android 2.3 might be in line for the Droid R2-D2 as well.
The Droid R2-D2 was released as a limited edition run of Droid 2 handsets decked out to look like the famous droid from Star Wars. Given the similarity of the hardware, it wouldn’t be a stretch to think the currently available update for the other members of the Droid 2 family could soon be finding its way to a Droid R2-D2 handset near you.
Did you buy one of the limited edition Droid R2-D2′s? If so, did you buy it to use or collect? Let us know in the comments!
