LAS
VEGAS – Just when it seemed like QWERTY keyboards were becoming a thing
of the past, Verizon Wireless announced it would carry the Motorola
DROID 4, the “ thinnest and most powerful 4G LTE QWERTY smartphone,”
according to the carrier.
The DROID 4, which is just 0.5 inches thick, packs a five-row backlit QWERTY keyboard, a dual-core
1.2 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard memory, and support
for up to 32GB more via a microSD card slot. The device will run
Android 2.3.5, but Verizon says it will upgrade the device to Android
4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich–just not when.
Riding Verizon’s 4G LTE
network–which was having a bit of trouble last month– the DROID 4 should
see download speeds of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload
speeds of 2 to 5 Mbps within Verizon’s coverage area. Business-ready
features include government-grade encryption (FIPS 140-2) for email,
calendar and contacts; and Citrix Receiver for Android (available in
webtop) for desktop virtualization and access.
