We can only hope that the Droid Incredible 2 will live up to its predecessor&#8217;s legacy. Coming on April 28 for $199 on Verizon with a two year contract, the DI2 won&#8217;t feature 4G but it will pack an 8MP dual-led camera and a 1.3MP front facing camera, a four-inch Super LED display, 720p video recording, and (*sigh*) Android 2.2. A 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, better face detection, and better noise cancelling technology team up with SRS WOWHD surround sound and HTC&#8217;s Sense UI to please the people who aren&#8217;t quite ready to dish out the 4G premium monthly fee but still won&#8217;t a solid Android device.
