One of the devices that mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless is expected to launch on its airwaves in the near future with Google's Android operating system on board would be the Motorola DROID X2, already rumored a few times before, but still unofficial for the time being.

Amid various rumors regarding the handset's capabilities and specs, details on a possible release date set for May 12th also emerged, and it appears that new info on the matter is available now.

Specific materials that would be involved in the handset's launch have just started to arrive at retailers, which, according to Android Central, would be a clear indicator of handset's near availability.

Costco locations have started to receive Motorola DROID X2 dummy units, showing a new device that resembles a lot with last year's popular Android-based DRIOD X smartphone.

For the time being, however, no official announcement on the device's arrival emerged, though it might all be brought to the spotlight as soon as today, rumor has it.

Apparently, Verizon is getting ready to unveil more than just one new smartphone today, though it remains to be seen whether the new devices would also become available for purchase as of today.

The yet unannounced Motorola DROID X2 should land on shelves with a large 4.3-inch display capable of delivering a qHD resolution, complemented by a dual-core 1GHz application processor (a Tegra 2 chip).

Moreover, it would sport many of its predecessor's specs and features, but should be able to offer enhanced performance levels.

WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities would be included into the mix, along with WiFi hotspot, 3G connectivity, microSD memory card slot for additional storage space, and the like.

No specific info on the price tag at which the device would be released on Verizon's network emerged for the time being, but there are great chances that it would be priced at around $200.
