Droid 2 Available Now - Get it for only 74.99

The Motorola Droid 2 is now available... Yes! I have been trying to find the best deal available and to my surprise there are already some major discounts to be found.

Dell is offering the Droid 2 for $149.99 with free shipping. You can get it straight from Verizon for $169.99 after using the "switch30" coupon code. Wirefly.com has the Droid 2 for $149.99 and it comes with a free Bluetooth headset with coupon code "wireflyblue22" and free shipping.

The best deal of all is through LetsTalk.com. They currently have the Droid 2 for the bargain price of only 99.99 after an instant $100 online discount. To sweeten the deal use coupon code "25rafpcver1" to get an additional $25 off! This brings the grand total for a brand new Droid 2 to $74.99 and shipping is free as well. I couldn't pass this deal up and I just finished ordering one for myself.

Keep in mind that all the offers above require a 2 year contract through Verizon and a minimum data plan.
