Remember the keyboard slide out phones that seemed to be in the hands of most Americans ?! 

Well Motorola does and the Google company is going to give the Droid 4 a new update in the shape of the .... Droid 5.... wow what a name !

The slide out keyboard is a feature dare I say it - I prefer to a touch screen, because I like to feel the physical click of a button. Its not as easy to typo, and since the problems of the Droids 2 and 3s nasty keyboard experience were sorted in the Droid 4, the 5 should have been tweaked a that little more - close to perfect dam it.

Is this the last of the Motorola pre Google phones Larry Page wasn't too kind about ? If so then this could be the last of the Droid xyz we will ever see, and if it has the 'Droid' name then it will be Verizon exclusive in the US - which would 'suck'. The world needs to have at least one slide out keyboard Android.


There is no internet chatter regarding the Droid 5's release date or pricing -- or what carriers / networks that will offer the the device. Guessing this will remain in the US (as above) and won't make Europe either. - No further news but given that in-the-wild photos are already surfacing, it should only be a matter of time before more details come to pass.
