Verizon Gears Up For Midnight Launch Of The R2-D2 Droid 2 On 9/29

With the launch of the limited edition R2-D2 themed Motorola Droid 2 launching on September 30th, it looks like Verizon is already gearing up for a midnight launch that will be sure to lure out all of those Star Wars collectors. We’re hearing that a limited quantity of 50,000 devices were produced to pay homage to the DROID name. As you can see in the image above, some Verizon stores have already starting the decorating festivities as the 30th gets closer.

If you were planning on buying these devices in bulk and tossing them on Ebay, it looks like Verizon will be limiting the devices to two per customer. Pricing for this limited edition device is not yet available and if you would like to see more of this device and all of its Star Wars themed glory, head over to DroidDoes.com/R2D2 to check out the progress and join in on the hunt to grab a free Motorola Droid 2 R2-D2 edition.

Anyone definitely picking one of these devices up?
