Claimed Motorola Droid 2 preliminary info leaks out.
Coming from gadgetsteria:
here are a few facts on droid2.
It is slightly more rounded edges,the open chin on the current droid vs the droid2 is the same,but the face of the droid2 chin is equal lentgh.this means the exposed chin on the current droid is open vs the droid2 chin is now part of the face slider.
also the 4 soft keys are moved around just a tad.same location but the menu button isnt the 4 dash’s. its like the devours 4 squares.
the 5 way nav is gone and replaced with 4 arrows in the keypad. this allowed the keypad to be biggerfor fat fingers like mine.
the camera is 5mp HD and the phone looks nothing like the pic above. not even close. it looks very close to the current droid just evovled a tad.
The power,volume,cam keys are now flush soft touch and not so obvious like the current droid is.
I cant speak on the guts yet.too soon.this is all i can say so please dont ask for more specifics yet.

Motorola profit up on strong smart phone sales
Motorola Inc. posted a profit in the first quarter, with smartphone sales helping the flagship mobile devices business turn around a heavy loss from a year earlier.
The Schaumburg-based technology company reported a net profit of $69 million, or 3 cents per share, reversing a loss of $231 million, or 10 cents per share, in the first quarter of 2009. Overall sales for the company fell to $5 billion from $5.4 billion a year ago.
Motorola’s mobile devices division posted sales of $1.6 billion, a decline of 9 percent from the same quarter last year. But the unit’s operating loss came to $192 million, substantially narrower than a loss of $545 million in 2009. Co-Chief Executive Sanjay Jha told analysts on a conference call that he expects the business to become profitable in the fourth quarter of this year.
