Motorola Droid 4 launches February 10

Tweet Droid 4 comes to Verizon this Friday

The Verizon Motorola Droid 4 handset will launch on Friday, the carrier has confirmed.

The fourth iteration of the original classic Android handset will cost $200 on a two-year contract with Big Red from February 10th.

The Droid 4 boasts a slide-out qwerty keyboard and 4G LTE connectivity and, naturally, Motorola boasts that it's the thinnest-4G-device-with-a-slide-out-qwerty-keyboard at just half an inch thick.

With Android Gingerbread on board (upgradable to Ice Cream Sandwich), the device also packs a 4-inch LCD screen and a 1.2GHz dual-core processor.

Smart Actions

The camera checks-in at eight megapixels, while it will shoot video at full HD 1080p. There's also a front-facing snapper for 4G video chat goodness.

The Droid 4 also brings Motorola's new Smart Actions app, which promises to optimise battery life (handy considering the traditionally terrible battery life on 4G phones), while creating phone rules for certain times of the day.

Check out our hands-on with the Motorola Droid 4 from the recent CES expo, where the device was launched back in January.

1. I can't believe Motorola are still pulling this "release a phone with an old operating system and upgrade it later" trick.

HTC and Samsung (the just released Note to the US runs Gingerbread not ICS) have just about learnt their lesson here and Sony have.

Gingerbread is very old by smartphone operating system standards.
