Today, Verizon added to new cell phones to its line-up of Android phones: the military-grade G'Zone Commando and the follow-up to the popular DROID Incredible, the DROID Incredible 2 by HTC. In short, the Casio G'Zone Commando is a rugged Android 2.2 smartphone with multiple G’zGEAR modes to make the most of outdoor operation (Earth Compass, Walking Counter, Adventure Training, Trip Memory, Tides, Thermometer, Sun/Moon, and Star Gazer). It also sports many of the features we've come to expect in an Android phone including a 5-megapixel camera with LED light, stereo Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n connectivity with the ability to share the 3G data connection with up to five WiFi-enabled devices, and even includes high-security encryption for corporate e-mail.

If you liked the DROID Incredible by HTC you'll appreciate the updates found in the new DROID Incredible 2 by HTC. For starters, this cell phone is a bit wider since it has a 4-inch display and a bit faster with its 1GHz processor running the Android 2.2 OS out-of-the-box. Also, of note is the phone's 8-megapixel camera with the ability to record videos in 720p HD and its support of Adobe Flash Player so it will have a more fluid web-based video experience. Although this cell phone won't be a 4G LTE model, you can still share the smartphone's data connection with up to five other WiFi-enabled devices via the Mobile HotSpot feature.

Both cell phones will be available later this week.
