~LMAO~ good one, esp. since the RAZR looks exactly the same as the MAXX just 2 tiny mm thicker; and since D4 is basically a RAZR Slider, it would be silly for them not to implement the same easy fix to nearly double the Batt power with a measly +2mm. I’ve waited long, but I’ll wait a lil longer; as in November we had no sign that the RAZR would have a MAXX edition springing up 76 days later. So maybe there’s no pics yet, but with their similarities it stems to reason that D4′s lit keyboard is only going to draw that much more power. Moto is evil for knowing this and making the battery non-user-removable. EEEEEEEEVILLLL ~but don’t confuse this with me trying to steer away Moto’s sales nor any such nonsense. I WANT the D4 but I would much rather wait n see so I’m not walking around with a dead phone, where if maybe I’d have waited a tad longer, I’d much rather be stuck for 2 years with preloaded ICS, GSM, +16GB, and 3300mAh’s of usage. I’m not into pocketing around paperweights. I’m enjoying all these comments, “imnotmikal”s pic reply is hilarious!

I think it is smart verizon started pricing their lte devices at $199 rather than everyone being $299 like before.

Proof please. What is the “credible source” that says Feb 9th. We are all getting very tired of seeing these supposed release dates come and go. What makes the 9th official? For the last month y’all have been telling us that Feb 2nd was the Golden Date set in stone. So- prove it. Until I see it on the VZW or DD pages, it’s all just BS speculation. More proof that the popular media just likes to make sh1t up.

I vowed to never buy another Motorola product after they lied about unlocking their bootloaders by the end of 2011. Moto is all about taking advantage of the android and developer communities while giving nothing back. You’re too stupid to know what a bootloader is or to care that you’ll be limited in what you can do with your phone anyhow, so go ahead and buy it. Motorola won’t even care enough to give you a reach-around while they plow your anus.

They actually say something like its a 60/40 women/men on the keyboard…. I never used it when I had my d1. Only to root it then its what caused the downfall of the device. But my wife uses it everytime she uses her phone….

Impossible since google bought Motorola mobility for 12.5billion dollars its always going to be the premiere brand for android phones, even more so in the future.

Too bad all those people who got the D3 slider are basically screwed, because they’ll never get support for there phone and can’t get 4g. They should be bitching the most, but that’s why you should research phones b4 you buy one with a contract.

1) Locked boot
2) PenTile
3) No global
4) Non-removable battery

PASS. If D5 isn’t better, Moto is just about DONE-zo as a manufacturer. {{-_-}}

Wasted potential, that phone is. {{-_-}}

I will be buying it. I’ve had D1, D2, D3, and others on other carriers (could not go with due to service) that all had physical keyboard. I do not buy a phone without a physical keyboard….and I am happy with my Droid 3 aside from no LTE, but I will also appreciate twice as much RAM from the Droid 4 (I use remote desktop on my phone…so, will be handy!)

I have to admit, the only reason I’m paying attention to this is because it’s a qwerty slider. But the pentile display is making me doubtful, the locked bootloader is annoying, and the intentionally disabled GSM/global radio is annoying.

Sigh. How hard can this be. HTC, you should have released a new top-of-the-line qwerty slider by now. The G1 had a great keyboard, all you had to do was keep flogging the form factor (like Moto and its Droid) while updating the CPU/memory/display/camera specs along the way…
