The Droid Incredible 2 is official, folks. Coming to Verizon on April 28 for 199 on contract, it's a bit of a bump from the original Droid Incredible, but nothing that'll knock your socks off, at least on paper. Here's what we're looking at:

  • Android 2.2 Froyo
  • 4-inch Super LCD display.
  • 1GHz  "next generation" Snapdragon processor
  • 8MP rear-facing camera with 720p video recording
  • 1.3MP front-facing camera
  • Dual GSM/CDMA -- a "world phone."

All in all, exactly what we've expected given the course of leaks we've broken. Full presser's after the break.
