Motorola Droid 2 all but confirmed for Aug. 12, plus some new pics

Look close at the bottom of the blurry shot from Verizon's system above, and you'll see the entry for the (what everybody and their mother assumes to be) Aug. 12 is marked for "Commercial launch of Droid 2".  We'll pause a moment and let you catch your breath.  Back with us?  Good.  It looks like all the speculations and rumors may be true this time, and we all will be able to get our grubby paws on a shiny Droid 2 in 9 short days.

To add to the Droid 2 fever, we also have some nice pics from a member at Howard Forums showing the Droid 2 beside its predecessor, the OG Droid, and a close up of the keyboard in all it's extended glory.  Check them out after the break, then we can all wait impatiently and figure out how we can pass the next week or so in the Droid 2 forums.  [Howard Forums via Intomobile, and thanks to The Geek at donthatethegeek.com for the release info!]
