Motorola XT898 Will Be an International GSM Version of the Droid 4

[dgstorm]

Motorola recently released the Droid 4 in the U.S. on Verizon to a ton of fan-fare. We even did a video review of the Droid 4 and came away very impressed. In fact, we see the device as the truest successor to the original Motorola Droid (except for the non-removable battery). Now, an international GSM version will be coming to market with the model number XT898. The GSM Motorola Droid 4 looks to proudly carry the Motorola Droid torch around the globe. No specifics were given about the device other than that it will come stock with ICS. It is speculated that the rest of the specs are identical to its American brother. Here's a quote with a few more details,

The new User Agent profile of Motorola XT898 and also Wi-Fi certification indicates that the phone is almost ready for launch. This Motorola XT898 from the chronological point of view appears to be yet another DROID series slider iteration model albeit in GSM/UMTS version.

The Motorola XT898 smartphone will feature 960x540 pixel resolution and would most likely feature 4-inch touchscreen display. The smartphone will also feature QWERTY keypad and most likely similar features as that of DROID 4 XT894 model. So the XT898 appears to be a world edition of the DROID 4 handset. Only aspect worth waiting for this handset will feature Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich by default.

As of now, there are no images or further details available on this handset but we expect Motorola to announce this handset at the CTIA- Wireless 2012 event in the first week of the next month.

Now our friends across the globe, and our international travelers can enjoy one of Motorola's best phones outside the States!

Thanks for the tip, vmu!
