Motorola DROID X 2 images and details leak
Here’s a first look at the Motorola Droid X 2. Though its a splitting image of its predecessor and comes packed with an 8-megapixel camera as well, its similarity ends there. Reported specs of this baby include a 1GHz dual-core Tera 2 processor, 1GB RAM, a 4.3-inch 540×960 resolution display just like the Droid Bionic, and the new MotoBlur. A downer, though, is its lack of LTE support and a front-facing camera. ETA? Q2 2011 on Verizon. Price? That, unfortunately, is still a mystery.
