The sequels keep on coming: Verizon releases the DROID 4 smartphone, aimed at the QWERTY keyboard lovers

DROID 4 features a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, plus a five-row QWERTY keyboard for those who don’t like typing on a touchscreen.
It has edge-lit keys for fast, precise typing, even in the dark. It is powered by Verizon’s 4G network.
