$100 can now get you the Motorola DROID R2-D2 Special Edition

Star Wars fanatics hold onto your light saber replicas because Verizon just dropped the price of its Motorola DROID R2-D2 Special Edition to the oh so easy to buy price of only $99.99 with a new 2-year contract.

Yes, you heard that right, this fully blown Star Wars oriented Android powered smartphone can now be easily purchased – versus its initial price tag of $250. Even though it shares a lot of commonalities with the Motorola DROID 2, this special edition comes packed with some added niceties like preloaded Star Wars related content and a nifty looking dock. In addition to it all, Verizon will of course throw in free shipping when you order the phone online – so the only thing that you'll have to be concerned with is its $100 pricing.

So if you were one of the many who were put off by its initial $250 on-contract pricing, now seems to be the best time to fetch yourself this handset.
