Verizon has the Motorola Droid Pro (otherwise coined the “Droidberry”) listed available online. Consumers visiting the site are able to add the Droid Pro to the shopping cart long before the original launch date on November 18^th!

Seems Verizon has been shooting from the hip with its Android lineup launches lately, with the Samsung Continuum said to launch Nov. 11^th, only to be postponed to Nov. 18^th a few hours after. The Droid 2 Global being available for sale before any official announcement being made. Maybe Verizon is just as exited as its customers and can’t wait to launch!

So if you’ve been waiting to get your hands on this one…don’t! You can get it now.

As most people have heard today, Samsung has announced the Samsung Continuum Android smartphone to be launched through Verizon Wireless. The announcement came at the Samsung Event in NYC earlier this evening, and attendees were given an opportunity to get their hands on the device, and get us some details.

The Continuum is the latest addition to the Samsung Galaxy S family of devices, sporting a sleek gloss black casing, with a 3.4 inch Super AMOLED screen, 1 GHz processor, and Android 2.1. I know, I know…why didn’t they launch with Froyo? They did state the Continuum will be updated soon.

At the Samsung Event taking place right now as I type, Attendees are given the Samsung Continuum to get their first hands on impressions of the new Samsung Galaxy S family member. Twitter and live blogs are in a frenzy right now as word comes in about the feel and new features, particularly regarding the “Ticker”, as well as the disappointment that it’s running Android 2.1, not Froyo or Gingerbread as earlier hoped for.

The Ticker seen in the above photo shows the date and time, but not much else. We’ll see what else they can let us know about it throughout the event tonight. Stayed tuned!

Motorola Droid 2 Global to be released in black and white

by Mikka Burrell on Oct 30th 2010, 11:59am
tagged motorola, Motorola Droid 2 Global, verizon wireless

And news of the Droid 2 Global just keeps rolling in! Yesterday you heard from us that Best Buy was discontinuing sales of the Droid 2 to gear up for the release of the Droid 2 Global. Well now, feast your eyes on this rebate sheet from Verizon Wireless; it looks like there are two listings for the Droid 2 Global with BL and WH differentiating them. We can safely assume that the Droid 2 Global is going to be released in two stylish colors, black and white.

It was first believed that these two different SKU’s meant that the Droid 2 Global was going to be released with a camera and non-camera version, like the Droid Pro. But further investigation confirmed that this Costco inventory sheet is actually noting that the Droid 2 Global will come in black and white colors.

The Motorola Droid 2 Global will be $199.99 on contract. There is no solid release date for this device, however.
