While it would appear that the rumored May 12th launch date for the Motorola DROID X2 will come and go without the device being released, there are signs that the sequel to Verizon's one-time flagship phone will soon be made available. That clue comes in the form of the dummy units that have appeared at Costco.
Verizon's first dual-core handset is not LTE enabled which might be disappointing to those with an update burning a hole in their pocket. But there is still plenty to like about the phone including the 4.3 inch display which has been upgraded to qHD resolution. Under the hood is a 1GHz dual-core processor with 512MB of RAM and an 8MP camera around back.
Don't start adjusting your screen or your glasses if the picture seems blurry to you-the person taking the photo was so much in awe of being that close to the DROID X2 that he started shaking uncontrollably. With any luck, you will get to experience that for yourself shortly.
