Motorola DROID 2 Global launches soon in black and white; T-Mobile Comet to cost $149.99

Exclusive

A fresh new Verizon Wireless rebate sheet emerged yesterday and brought with it some confusion. On the sheet, the upcoming Motorola DROID 2 Global had two associated SKUs. Since two separate versions of the unreleased DROID Pro were recently discovered — one with a camera and one without — it was assumed that these SKUs represented a standard DROID 2 Global and a second version sans-camera. But you know what they say about assumptions. So your pals here at BGR did some digging and we found our answer where all answers are ultimately found: Costco.

The screen shot seen above, delivered from an anonymous source, shows two versions of the Motorola DROID 2 Global within the Costco inventory system. The difference between them, as it turns out, is the color. Fans of white phones will be happy to learn that the DROID 2 Global will be released in both black and white when it finally does launch next month. Both versions will be $199.99 on contract. And while we still have no firm release date for these 1.2GHz beasts, hopefully the white DROID 2 Global doesn’t get delayed endlessly like the white iPhone 4.

Also of interest, the T-Mobile Comet — a mid-range Android phone rumored to be launching on November 3rd — will cost $149.99 when it finally sees the light of day.

    Would there be any way to confirm whether or not the highly anticipated T-Mobile MyTouch 4G will also be available on Nov. 3, the official release data from your sources and publish here? Thanks.

    • Wireless Fool

      Costco’s should have the MyTouch 4G on November 3rd as well. I haven’t heard that we were getting the Droid Pro, perhaps I’ll have to take a look in our store today.

        Great news. So, can you confirm yet on the availability of the MT4G at Costco’s on the 3rd?

      • Wireless Fool

        I’m 99% sure we’ll have the MT4G on the 3rd. We’re also going to have the Defy & the LG Optimus as part of our home delivery phones on the 3rd as well I believe. However, a little birdie told me that the new tiered data plans that were to be released with the Defy & the Optimus have been pushed back, so we’ll see what happens with the release of those two phones.

    Does “BL” in the screen pic mean black or does it mean blue?

      Well it’s coming in, White an Blue versions???
      I’d say it’s black,but who knows.
      I certainly hope it’s not that blue they used on the R2D2 version if it is, eww that was hideous.

    Apparently White Cell phones are so difficult to produce….

  • Kevin

    I plan on picking up the white droid 2 from costco. YOu don’t do rebates and you get free accessories.

    Its a win win.

    More DROIDs to the best carrier in the United States, Verizon Wireless. We don’t even need the iphone because no one wants it. Everyone wants DROIDs, the DROID OS, and VZW. And why wouldn’t you? You get at least a month on a single charge and can run 40 apps at the same time. I love DROID!

    • BrianW

      Yes norm… I get 60 days on a single charge while running 70 apps at once. It also gets me all the ladies..

        Is that why they are *STILL* selling like crazy… even when tied to the worse carrier in the USA: AT&T.

  • DingleBerry

    WOW. On the TMO Comet… That sounds like more retail than w/contract. If it is,then FAIL!

    • Wireless Fool

      The prices shown in the Costco system are Costco’s retail pricing, the purchase price is always lower with the exception of a few phones. The DX is $149.99 right now purchase price & was on sale last weekend for $99.99 for a new line.

  • joejoe

    are they the same? like size wise like will droid 2 cases fit droid 2 global ones? cuz i know i have a hell of a time gettin cases for my bold 9650 i keep gettin tour cases because people think there the same :/

  • Madness

    Is the 1.2 ghz confirmed? Or is it just a rumor these will get a faster chipset…

  • VingJoo
