Just got answers to the first round of questions:
1) Hows the camera? Better than the d2
2) Are any of the accessories being tested along with the phone? Do they test the phone in 3G areas as well as 4G areas?
3) Info on the speaker would be cool. Is it as loud as the D1?
1) Hows the camera? Better than the d2
Camera is FANTASTIC compared to previous droids. Better than the d2 IMO. Snappy pictures, quick focus – even in lower light areas.
2) Are any of the accessories being tested along with the phone? Do they test the phone in 3G areas as well as 4G areas?
No accessories are tested. Phone is tested in all areas.
3) Info on the speaker would be cool. Is it as loud as the D1?
Speaker is…very very loud. Much like the D1, not distorted either, sounds great.
Fantastic news. Thanks!
Define "same as." The RAZR has a 4.3" screen and 1780 mAh battery while the D4 will have a 4" screen and 1785 mAh battery, so those are a few other differences.
The keyboard: How is it physically different? Does it have good 'feel' for touch typing? How is the tactile feedback from the keys?
Perspective instantiates reality.
( By DX w/DF app. )
Nope, not until Android 4.0/ICS
I don't recall the details, but some GB phones do have it already. The GB T-Mobile Gxy S II is reported to take screenshots ootb - no root and no app required.

Round 2 of questions:
1)The keyboard: How is it physically different? Does it have good 'feel' for touch typing? How is the tactile feedback from the keys?
They also had this to include:
1)The keyboard: How is it physically different? Does it have good 'feel' for touch typing? How is the tactile feedback from the keys?
Physically the buttons are raised more than the D3, which people argue is the best keyboard they have had. The backlit keyboard is perfect in the dark, and the audio feedback you receive when pressing the button (click sound) is welcomed. Keyboard 10x better than the d3 – and I loved that keyboard.
2)So i guess the camera is the same as the razr or better? i should have asked that since its supposedly the same phone with a keyboard is it the same as the razr with a keyboard or is there some other advantage?
Essentially it’s just like the RAZR, camera just seems quicker. This could just be the type of pictures I’ve taken, as I will take more to get an accurate comparison. The biggest advantage is the keyboard.
3)Will it blend? Oh wait. I mean, will it have a stock screen shot feature?
No, no stock screen cap feature.
4)What device is "daily driver" and how do you compare the D4 to it on an overall preference basis?
Daily driver has been the Bionic and RAZR over the past months or so. Comparing it directly to each, it destroys the Bionic and really does well against the RAZR. Personally, the batter life seems better than the RAZR, has a keyboard so that wins for me.
