R2-D2 Droid 2 Phone Photo Surfaces at Star Wars Celebration V

August 11th, 2010
There’s been some buzz floating around the web about a special version of the Verizon Droid 2, decked out to look like the little R2 unit that inspired its name. The special-edition phone isn’t supposed to be shown until the start of tomorrow’s Celebration V show, but I stumbled onto this picture one day early, snapped by the folks at R2-D2 Central.
From the looks of things, R2-D2 is looking awfully flat and boxy in his new smartphone home. I don’t know if there’s much else to say about the phone except that true Star Wars fanatics will have to run out and buy one when it arrives this September.

I think it’s refreshing when companies release phones in colors other than black or silver. I’d buy this if I wasn’t so hopelessly reliant on the look and feel of Sense UI.
