This bizarre commercial just started popping up, and frankly, we’re almost too confused to be offended. There’s no mistaking Verizon’s strange spokesman for the iconic Abu Ghraib torture victim. Is this a case of horrible taste or immense cluelessness?

This must be one of the most leaked phones in the history of tech blogs. Found in a newspaper yesterday, this Verizon advert shows the Droid 2, keyboard splayed and all, with the words “coming soon”. Yes, but when?

We’ve heard some good news from Verizon folks: They’ll push Android 2.2 – also known as Froyo – to the original Motorola Droid next week.

If you’ve been sitting here, reading the posts from our American brethren on the upcoming Droid 2 and Droid X handsets from Motorola and thinking to yourself that you would happily splash some cash to get one of those handsets in Australia… You can forget about it.
