Droid X VS Droid 2 VS Droid Pro

As of right now the phones I would want are these three but the Droid Pro won't be out for several months and maybe will compete or is the Motorola 2GHZ phone. But here are some specs that are in speculation
- 4.3" FWVGA
- 12MP camera
- 720p recording
- 1GB RAM(2Ghz phone if it's the one that's suppose to come out in the end of the year.
- QSD 8x72
- Android Gingerbread w/out Moto Blur
- Not the Nexus Two
- Front-facing camera

So what should I do
1) Buy the Droid X
2) Buy the Droid 2
3) Wait for this phone the Droid Pro
4) Buy either Droid X or Droid 2 and sell it for the Droid Pro later on.

People keep mentioning that Sanjay Jha said that 2GHz phone is coming out this year. He did say that but 2GHz processor is not even being tested yet, and once it starts the testing it is going to be a while before it is commercialized.
Also, it is VERY doubtful that Motorola will suddenly use a Qualcomm processor.
Verizon will not launch a phone with FFC before LTE.

....just wondering out loud...what would a 2 Ghz processor do to battery life? Froyo + 1 Ghz processor on X.....won't this be plenty speedy for a phone that is already fast? Megapixels mean relatively nothing beyond a certain point and I think we've already reached that with the X.

I also thought about skipping the X in favor of the Pro but I am not sure the wait would yield anything meaningful. Don't care about front facing camera. If they can make the screen with a denser pixel count, that would interest me.

could someone shed some more light on this "droid pro"? is there any actual information u can link to? because, from the sound of his description, that is EXACTLY the kind of phone i am waiting for. my upgrade date is Nov 9 and i am clinging to the earlier report of the first LTE phones (and 3.0 phones) to be released around black friday.

If this is real and it will come around then I will be a very happy camper.....so, where is this info coming from?

Look at the iPhone evolution. It's just gotten faster. Now they've finally caught up with Androids in regards to multi tasking and folders. Perhaps you're into the front facing camera but I wonder how much of a big deal that's gonna be for most. So yes you can always be looking around the corner but really what has changed recently or what will change that's going to be a game changer for the Androids. It's now finally fast enough to handle the multitasking and background processing.

Just a bunch of guessing I think so far on the Pro. I am watching a few different sites for some news on it as well. Some reading for you.
