The Official DF Droid 4 Pre-Release Thread

Haha.... the source is quick today:

Haven't discovered the way to turn back light off. Its an auto sensor so it only comes on in dark areas. Perfect for the night time.
Sym pulls up the symbol page to select the following …¥•®©±[]{}\|<>^
Shift key is in a good location, but I could see how it may bother some
 
I take it all this battery life talk is with 4G right? If so, how does this compare to the Droid Razr and Droid 3?

I know it was briefly mentioned, but if the screen seems brighter more vivid vs the D3, how does it compare to the Droid Razr and even previous Droid models like the D1 and D2? Thanks.
 
Are there any questions/requests that I've missed? (I believe pics are in the works as we speak)
I think it may have been asked already but please see if he can get a photo with the back cover removed.
 
November 27:
The test unit should arrive on Tuesday and once that happens pictures...should follow shortly.
a screen shot of the "user trial screen" should be on it's way to me
December 2:
there were issues adding attachments to PMs yesterday so we shall see what comes of it today.
December 13:
Pictures will be coming this afternoon/evening
December 15:

Haha thanks man :)

Would you mind asking your source a few more questions?

1. Could we get a photo with the back cover removed?
2. Is the back cover metal or plastic?
3. Initial specs listed this as GSM capable...is there space for both the LTE and GSM SIM cards?
 
Of course!! I think pics of the back with the battery cover off are in the works... I haven't talked to them since that last e-mail with the other pics.

Oh, and they did mention that, in their personal opinion, "they don't think people should be attached to that 12/22 release date. they just don't see it happening."

There was no further context on if it was because the device was buggy or communications they had received or what, but I will see if I can find out more info!
 
Oh! I forgot something I read today, it was buried in a different e-mail:

They have pics with the back off, just had to get it into photo shop to clean up device ID and other identifiable things under the cover.
 
they got this to me yesterday... I didn't get it posted because I was overly preoccupied with my new g-nex. my apologies. ...

The resolution is poor, so I had trouble reading it, but it looks like that box at the top of the screen says something like:
'For a hard reset press and hold power button for up to 12 billion CPU cycles.'

Did anyone else read it that way?

Btw, given the awkward contortions being used to avoid singular personal pronouns, I presume that your 'source' is female. Please ask her if she has, as a tester, found the D4 to be 'buggy'?

Perspective instantiates reality.

Actually Verizon is having a Holiday Return Policy. You have until January 9th to return a phone bought before Dec 28.

Although the BB, SGMD1, posted, sounds better. There's still a verizon restocking fee.



from a business perspective I'd say they won't release something better then the razor until the 10th of January then .............. bums me out but would make good sense for them to sell as many phones as possible for xmas then wait til the return policy expires and release the next technology
