The Official DF Droid 4 Pre-Release Thread

[seelzjr]

I like it a lot the keyboard is really nice def a huge upgrade from the droid 2. Its so much faster too and the screen looks a lot clearer. I actually broke my droid 2 last week and he had given me a loaner phone to use until this came out and a hour later he called me he was in the store when they got them so he grabbed me one. I probably actually ended overpaying by paying $220 for it if the reports are right that it will be 169.99 with the upgrade, but i also got a $50 rebate so its pretty much the same.

Thats sick man. Im super jealous. Are the Led's on the keyboard blueish or white? i cant seem to get a clear answer anywhere. Hows the battery life so far? =/

CNET has a good first look at the Droid 4.

According to the article, the Droid 4's keyboard is superb and "gloriously engineered."

Can't wait for Friday...

The keyboard leds are white and the battery life is pretty good nothing amazing but it will last a full day even with pretty heavey usage.

so anyone gonna try to call and order it today for overnight?

 

[fastpat]

I just tried to order via phone and had no luck. Looks like a 7AM trip to the Verizon Store tomorrow will be in order.

It's not on the Verizon site either. Just checked. Thought it would be for preorder.

Cool, thanks for the reply.

yeah, I don't see it anywhere. I'll have to call my local store to see if they have it in. I guess (to some people) the Droid 4 isn't as special as the iPhone4.

I was chatting with a rep (online chat) who said the phone makers dictate how and when a phone is released. I said, they won't "let you" promote it? She said that "may be" the case. I don't buy it given all the promo Razr got, but obviously I'm not in house at Verizon making decisions either.

 

[daryls61]

I wont be able to get phone until after work tomorrow. I hope it is not too busy at Best Buy.

Is it me, or are there just a ton of haters twords the D4? I never saw so many hate comments on forums (not so much on this thread) about any phone. Wtf is going on? i know its a little bit old technology (screen and processor) , but its a qwerty, and its Motos first 4g one. This is the new standard for qwerty's now..

They are jealous that our phone (to be) is going to be awesome. I went from a slider to a fully touch screen phone twice.. and now back to a slider. I should have never left! But I guess that is just my opinion!
