Motorola Droid 4 hands-on

Motorola Droid 4

The worst-kept secret of the season has got to be the Motorola Droid 4 on Verizon. And here it is in our hot little hands. The Big Deal here is that the keyboard once again has been redesigned. The keys are now laser cut (as opposed to whatever medieval method was used previously), and they're backlit. And they're pretty nice. Maybe a tad slick, but they're also pretty new. The backlight's definitely a nice touch.

The other surprising feature on the Droid 4 is its weight. Or, lack thereof. Whereas the previous members of the Droid line were, more or less, known for their heft, the Droid 4 is surprisingly light. You're not going to mistake it for a RAZR anytime soon, but it's not going to cause you to list to one side while you're walking.

One odd feature: The battery door is removable so you can get to the SIM card. But the battery itself is not removable.

The slider mechanism is decent enough, and Motorola's implementation of Gingerbread is speedy and full of features like MOTOCAST and Smart Actions, and all the business-type software Moto can muster. The suits are going to love it. The IT department is going to love it. And even after brief use, we're pretty sure we're going to be pretty pleased with it.

The only question we have is this: How long until the Droid 5?

We've got a full hands-on after the break.
