Product Description
To celebrate 30 years since Star Wars hit theaters, Verizon Wireless presents the DROID R2-D2 by
Motorola--featuring a graphic design that looks like the iconic Astromech Droid. It also comes packaged in a
custom box resembling carbonite and it includes a Star Wars media dock and wired stereo headset. The phone
also comes pre-loaded with exclusive content, including R2-D2 notification sounds and ringtones, four live
wallpapers, R2-D2 Clock Widget, "The Best of R2-D2" video with the original Cantina music, and exclusive
Empire Strikes Back Binoculars app.

2. A natural combination--R2–D2 with the inner
workings of the Motorola DROID 2 (see larger
image).
Based on the Motorola DROID 2, the DROID R2-D2 runs the latest Android operating system--OS 2.2 (aka,
Froyo)--which provides a faster overall Android experience as well as greater multitasking capabilities. You'll be
able to receive notifications, listen to music, and even record GPS data without keeping the application open.
And it features a plethora of new enhancements, including an improved QWERTY keyboard, full push corporate
e-mail, and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for access to the full Web. It also offers enhanced Exchange support, with
Calendar syncing, Global Address Lookup, improved security, auto-discovery, and more.
Sporting a new super-slim form factor, the DROID R2-D2 offers a redesigned symmetrical keyboard with raised
keys for more responsive typing to push out notes and status updates. Speech-to-text input and the virtual
multi-touch keyboard (accessed via the 3.7-inch touchscreen) allow for quick messaging, and you can use the
Swype keyboard enhancement for even faster input--with up to 50 words per minute using one continuous
finger motion across the screen keyboard (learn more about Swype below).
With integrated Google technology, DROID R2-D2 brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile
services millions use every day, including Google Search by voice, Google Maps with Street View, GTalk instant
messaging (with presence capabilities), YouTube, and Picasa. The DROID R2-D2 also provides easy access to
both personal and corporate e-mail, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail. And
through Android Market, you'll get access to thousands of useful applications, widgets, and fun games to
download and install on your phone, with many more apps being added every day.
In addition to high-speed connectivity on the fast and reliable Verizon Wireless 3G network, you can also share
the built-in 3G Mobile Hotspot via Wi-Fi among five devices--laptop, another phone, MP3 player, and more
(additional service charge). (See more details on optional Verizon Wireless services below.)
You'll also enjoy a wide range of multimedia entertainment with the DROID R2-D2, including BLOCKBUSTER On
Demand presented by V CAST Video for purchasing, renting, and viewing movies right on the phone and the
NFL Mobile app for live news and game updates.

3. Preloaded social networking widgets allow you to sync and stream your feeds and updates from Facebook,
Twitter, and MySpace all to one screen in real time. Other features include a 5-megapixel camera/camcorder
with DVD-quality video capture, 8 GB of onboard memory and a pre-installed 8 GB memory card, ultra-fast
Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming, GPS turn-by-turn
directions via free Google Maps with Navigation (Beta) as well as VZ Navigator, and up to 9.5 hours of talk time.

Swype Keyboard
An alternative to the Android virtual keyboard, the Swype virtual keyboard allows you to input text by swiping
the finger with one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard. Based on testing, speed,
and accuracy are equal to or better than the traditional keyboard-tapping method. You can activate the Swype
keyboard by pressing and holding in a text field, wait for popup to appear, click Input Method, and then select
Swype.
In the image to the left, the word "mind" was generated from tracing the path shown above in a fraction of a
second, by roughly aiming to pass through the letters of the word. A key advantage to Swype is that there is no
need to be very accurate, enabling very rapid text entry.
