Wondering when you might get a chance to check out that limited edition Star Wars version of the Motorola Droid 2? If you happen to be making your way to Orlando for Star Wars Celebration V August 12th through 15th you can check it out in person, according to this screen grab from Verizon.
There is still no known release date for the R2-D2 variant, though the standard Droid 2 will launch on August 12th. While the nature of what content will be included with the R2-D2 version was revealed on Verizon’s promo site, exact details are not available, so that makes Celebration V a perfect opportunity to score some early hands-on time with the handset. The geek in me really wishes I could check it out myself.
Are any readers planning on attending the convention? If so let us know what you think of the Empire Strikes Back Droid 2!
[thanks to Brian for sending this in!]
It’s just going to have a decal of R2-D2 on the back and some Star Wars bloatware. Yawn.
They are really making a big deal of this star wars stuff? I really can’t wait to see the next TV ads
Fuck the droid 2 no one wants the eFuse.
It would be sweet if the phone was white/blue/black like R2D2

Still waiting for FROYO on my Incredible, but thanks for the star wars crap Verizon. wtf!
I live in Orlando so I looked into going cause i thought it may be cool, but not at $128 for a 4 day pass and $48 to $52 for one day.
I will be going Friday. I will try and take pics of the phone (if I can that is). I will definitely be seeing it though.
Droid owes it’s name to Lucas, and the Force is weak in you haters.
Seriously, why the hate ?
Who cares if they choose to advertise with the help of Star Wars. It will help them sell more phones.
yeah! I want to see more star wars ads and fewer “chick flick” facetime ads.
