Motorola DROID X 2 coming to Verizon on May 19th, in stores on the 26th

The original rumored launch date for the Motorola DROID X 2 was today, May 12th, but it seems like stores have just now started to receive dummy units. It now seems like the first 1GHz dual-core Verizon smartphone will be launched via Direct Fulfillment on May 19th, which could mean an on-line release that day, and with it being avaliable in-stores the following week on May 26th.

The leaked documents state that the Motorola DROID X 2 will deliver a 26% sharper screen with qHD 960x540 resolution and will have dual-layer anti-reflective coating, 1080p mirror mode when using the HDMI output to a HDTV, and the 8MP camera will shoot 44% faster thanks to continuous auto focus - though video recording is still at 720p.

Missing is any mention of the price, or if the DROID X 2 will come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, though most have speculated it will be under $199 on-contract and that Gingerbread will be included - as the original DROID X is about to receive its over the air update to Android 2.3.
