and Verizon Wireless have just announced the newest version of their
epic line of Droid phones: the Motorola Droid 4. The duo are claiming
the device is the thinnest 4G LTE QWERTY Smartphone on the planet. If
that’s a tongue twister you can’t tie your noodle around, let me put it
in more basic terms: the Droid 4 is only half an inch thick and has a
full 5-row slide-out keyboard and 4G connectivity. Pretty impressive. Some quick Droid 4 Specs:
My opinion is torn with the Droid 4. I used to be a huge hardware keyboard proponent who couldn’t live without one. The Droid 4 performs what seems to be magic by cramming a full 5-row QWERTY Keyboard into a .5-inch thick frame with a solid set of alterior specs. But personally, with tremendous growth of touchscreen accuracy and performance, I’ve found my own interest in hardware keyboards to wane. I still see the huge benefit of them for different use cases, but for the average consumer I think 4.0-inch+ touchscreens and greatly improved display input and technology have pushed hardware keyboards onto their last leg in terms of mainstream mobile adoption. | |
