Droid 2 Global GSM bands locked, camera bulge added to case

No surprise here, but it looks like Verizon’s on-sale -but-never-really-announced Droid 2 Global has its GSM radios locked down, meaning you can’t just throw an AT&T SIM in there and expect anything to work. Of course, the enterprising hackers at xda-developers are hot on the case, so there’s a chance things will be opened up, but we wouldn’t hold our breath. In other news, it looks like there’s been a slight case modification to the Droid 2 Global — the camera module now sports a slight hump as seen in the comparison photo above. We’re not sure if this is to accommodate the extra radio or (please please please) perhaps a better sensor, but whoomp, there it is. No big thing in the grand scheme of things, but between the dark blue casing and the camera bulge, you’ll totally be able to spot D2G owners out of the crowd. And that… that will make you a super nerd weirdo. But it’s okay, because we love you.
