While there are daily rumors about the upcoming Droid Xtreme and Droid 2 devices, Verizon has not forgot about the original Motorola Droid device, which the carrier says still has excellent sales.
The carrier has dropped the price of the device to $149.99 with two-year contract, while concurrently running the BOGO (buy one get one free) promotion on the device.
Analysts are viewing the move as a way to slowly but surely clear out inventory of the device, to make way for the anticipated launch of the Droid X in July, and the Droid 2 sometime later in the summer.
The device had been selling for $199.99 with contract, and with retail stores selling at that price after mail-in-rebate, which can be a hassle. Ordering from the site removes the rebate part.
What is known (unconfirmed) of the Droid X is a large 4.3-inch screen, 16GB of internal storage, a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, an HDMI-out port, an 8MP camera and 720p video recording.
