We at Wireless and Mobile News actually took the time to read the WHOLE user guide and we've dug up some really fun and useful specs of the Droid 2. The Droid 2  has all the specific features we suspected, touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY keypad, microSD, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, camera/camcorder and some surprizes.
Previously-revealed leaked specs were a 5 megapixel camera, 8GB of Flash storage, 8 Gigabyte microSD included,
512 mb of memory, QWERTY keyboard, 1GHz processor and 3G mobile hotspot capable.

We are now sure that the navigation button on the Droid 2 are part of the touchscreen not hard buttons like the Droid X.

The Droid 2
will let you download BLOCKBUSTER videos, straight to your Droid,and
you can also stream and store multimedia on any DLNA device.

The Droid 2
will come with SWYPE text entry. In the tips an tricks section they
mention that you can't see the screen while wearing sunglasses because
the Droid 2has a light auto adjust sensor. 

The Droid 2
will be definitely shipping with FroYo Android 2.2 becuase it allows for
users to copy music to the microSD card. Tip: To see the available
memory on your memory card, touch Menu > Settings > SD card &
Phone storage. The software also allows exchange sync, Yahoo Mail, and
universal inbox. There is ability to zoom in or out by pinching your
