I was wondering if there was any info about Verizon upgrading the droid? What I mean is will there be a Droid 2nd gen or something. I've searched around; I found little information.

Motorola Droid Future releases?

No info out and there probably won't be for some time. But to answer your question. Yes, there will be without a doubt a Droid 2.

I would feel ripped off too. I was just curious, because I really like the droid design. The hardware keyboard is the main thing I like. I was just hoping they would keep the same or very similar design, but release better hardware every year or two. Like the iPhone.
PS. I don't actually have a droid yet. I should be getting one in a few weeks once I start my new job.

Not to come off rude but the droid 2 is still a rumour and probably will be a completely different name and line unless users become emotionally attached to the droid name like the case with the iphone. Droid 2 is completely a rumour from what I've heard and since no info is present therefore we cant say "its coming without a doubt"
hopefully one comes in next 2 years for an upgrade!

I'm not really attached to the name droid, so a different line wouldn't bother me. I just really feel of the phone. The solid edges instead of curves and the slider keypad. So as long as it keeps that, I'm fine.
I saw a droid 2 picture (could have been a fake or some other phone mislabeled). It was a thinner droid, no keyboard and it sorta had a bump on the side instead of the lip.
Found it:

Looks like it isnt a direct upgrade of the droid, just a version with no keyboard...

That phone is far from being a Droid 2. It's just another Android phone for the Asian market.
I believe they will keep the "Droid" name! It is all about name reconition, ask anyone around you what they think of when they hear the "DRROOOOIIIIDDD" sound and I bet they can say it is a phone! They would be smart to keep the name and keep the momentum going!
I will say that I did not know of android prior to the Droid so the marketing campaign worked on me!

I definitely agree with the part about people not knowing android existed. I started following android years ago. With the new droid phone, most people I know don't even know the difference between android and droid. They think it is the same thing.
And that picture posted earlier, was a cool looking phone, but I don't think I would want it.
Is there any reason to think that there wouldn't be -- with or without any available information?
Even without any leaks I'd say that given the Droid's sales figures that they are extremely likely to do so. IIRC, quite a bit of Android's recent market share growth has been a direct result of the Droid.
