Verizon has actually released two phones today which is pretty amazing. There's the Casio G'zOne Commando and the DROID Incredible 2 which are both running the Android OS. They're both available right now for $199.99 if you're willing to sign up for a 2-year contract.

The first handset is expensive because it's a rugged handset; other than that it's a mid-end touchscreen phone. The DROID Incredible 2 is just the Incredible S in a disguise and Verizon-branding. It's a decent upgrade over the last model but, sadly, still houses a 1GHz CPU. Check them both out on Verizon whenever you want to.

Verizon has announced that they'll be releasing two Android phones on Thursday, April 28th if you're interested. The first one is above and it's the Casio G'zOne Commando which we just heard about a few days ago. This rugged handset sports a 5MP camera, a touchscreen display, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth support, and Android 2.2. This will be available for $199.99 on a 2-year contract.

The other handset is more desirable and it's the HTC Incredible S which will hit the carrier on April 28th as the DROID Incredible 2. This one sports a 4-inch S-LC display, a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and the Sense UI over the Android OS. This will also be available for $199.99.

At this point we already know that Verizon intends to launch the HTC DROID Incredible S in the US as the DROID Incredible 2. This handset is actually a pretty good one but you have to keep in mind that Verizon already has a bunch of other desirable handsets in the pipe - as well as ones with LTE (4G) support. According to the image above, from DroidDog, this handset could be available on April 28th - where it should cost $199.

Android Central has picked up more photos of the upcoming HTC DROID Incredible 2 and the Motorola DROID X 2 that's headed to Verizon in the near future. The Incredible 2 is, unsurprisingly, looking just like the Incredible S and it packs an 8MP camera on the back with a dual-LED flash. This one's also rocking Android 2.2 with the Sense UI and it's looking like it'll launch with that OS as well. Check out more photos on their website if you're interested.

The other smartphone that has been caught on camera again is the upcoming DROID X 2 from Motorola. This one's also headed to Verizon, possibly with just Android 2.2 as well. On the back there's an 8MP camera and there's also an HDMI and microUSB port on the side of the device. Of course, if you want to check out more photos, just head over to the website.

DROID-Life has managed to get their hands on some upcoming prices for future Verizon devices. The most important two are on here are, without a doubt, the Samsung DROID Charge (i510) and the HTC Incredible 2. According to the chart, they'll be available for $299.99 and $199.99, respectively. The former seems a bit high, considering the Thunderbolt launched for $249. The DROID Charge should be launched for that price as well since it's another LTE (4G) device.

Phandroid has just gotten quite a big exclusive leak regarding upcoming Verizon phones. The leak above is clearly "subject to change" but it's a fairly good indication of what to expect in the next couple of weeks / months. The first two that Verizon will be launching will apparently be on April 7th where you can expect two Android phones: the waterproof Casio Commando and the Samsung DROID Charge (aka Stealth) which will feature the Touchwiz UI as well as LTE (4G) support.

The week after that the carrier will be launching the PlayStation Certified XPERIA Play which is, of course, made by Sony Ericsson. A day after that will be the HTC Trophy which will be a Windows Phone 7 handset with Global connectivity which is great. Capping off the big month of April will be the DROID Incredible 2 which will be another Global device. The original DROID Incredible is now an EoL (End-of-Life) device so it's pretty clear that the successor is just around the corner.

On May 5th, you might want to mark the LG Revolution on your calendar. This one could be dropping on that day and it'll also have 4G connectivity via LTE. Launches in the rest of May include more 4G devices: Motorola DROID Bionic, DROID X 2, and the Galaxy S II. The Galaxy S II is definitely the one that people might be looking forward to the most - at least I am. Keep in mind that some of these devices could be delayed until June.

It looks like AndroidSPIN has just picked up what appears to be the first photos of the Verizon bound HTC Incredible 2. This looks like it'll be pretty similar to the Incredible S as it should feature a 4-inch Super LCD display, an 8MP camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, a 1GHz CPU, 4GB of internal storage, 768MB of RAM, a 1,450mAh battery, and Android 2.3 with the Sense UI. It sucks that the device isn't turned on so we'll have to wait for another source to pick up more images.

If you believe what Phandroid has to say then Verizon will have four upcoming Android phones on the way and most of them are coming before the first half of this year closes. The first few devices are said to be the Motorola DROID 3, the DROID X2, and the Samsung Stealth which we actually saw unveiled at CES earlier this year. The DROID 3 is said to be sporting a 4-inch display with a QHD (960 x 540) resolution along with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, while there's nothing known about the DROID X2. Maybe we'll see all of these unveiled at MWC because they're scheduled for Q2 of this year.

The second rumour is that the HTC DROID Incredible 2 - codenamed "Vevo" - is right around the corner as well. In case you forgot, the DROID Incredible was one of the best Android phones to hit the US market last year so the successor should be even better. Rumoured specs for this one include a Qualcomm chip that will provide Global 3G support. Apparently, this time around it'll be "white with a white chrome rim and contoured black". Unfortunately, there's no picture of this one right now so you can let your imagination soar!
