The successor of the wildly popular Droid, aptly named Droid 2 is coming to Verizon. Many signs are hinting that the latest Droid will hit stores this week.

The Droid 2 seems almost identical to the original Droid, and this ad spotted in a Florida news paper is touting a NEW advanced keyboard as the main improvement. Overall the Droid 2 feels more evolutionary than revolutionary, without any killer features that will set it apart from Droid Incredible or Droid X, unless you want a physical keyboard of course.

Promotional materials leaked from Best Buy list the phone at $199 with a 2 year contract, and $599 without contract.

Our company phone system allows me to forward voice mails as file attachments. Unfortunately, playing the WAV files on my Android phone doesn’t work. There are some apps in the market that allow you to play the different wav-file formats, but I decided it wasn’t worth buying/installing yet another app for the few times I needed this feature. Instead, I enabled a simple conversion-mail-back service on the DroidStory server.

If you ever need a quick conversion of a voice mail wav file to mp3, simply forward your email containing the attachment to wav2mp3_at_droidstory_dot_com and you’ll get a MP3 file mailed back.

That’s it, no registration or setup required. Enjoy!

PS: No worries – your privacy is ensured. Our server space is much too valuable to keep your files. All data gets removed right after conversion. Guaranteed!

Verizon made the Motorola Droidx official by launching this teaser site yesterday. This sure is going to be an amazing phone given its gigantic 4.3″ screen, 720p video capture and 8MP camera. I wonder how long the battery will last though…

Update: Here’s the first Droidx commercial from the VerizonWireless YouTube channel.

These unboxing videos are getting better and better. Kudos to the guys at TechRestore.

In case you have not noticed, Verizon is taking pre-orders for the Droid Incredible online since yesterday. To get you further hyped-up, Verizon also published this product video featuring “incredibly” enthused Products Specialist – Derek.

It looks like there is another delay for the 2.1 OTA update. After just announcing the impending update on their website days ago, Verizon seems to have pulled the plug for now.

The 3/18 OTA software update will not happen as planned. A new date will be announced as soon as possible.
