Motorola Droid Turbo will soon have new "limited edition" metallic colors

Verizon and Motorola today announced that, starting later this month, the Motorola Droid Turbo will be available in new, limited edition metallic colors. More exactly, the handset will have a gray ballistic nylon variant with three different accents: metallic blue, metallic orange, and metallic violet. All three will be released on May 28, starting at $99 on contract, or $499.99 off contract. Alternatively, you can get the smartphone by paying $20.83 per month for 24 months with Verizon Edge.

Currently available in colors like black, blue, and red, the Droid Turbo has been around since October 2014. It's still one of Motorola's flagship smartphones, offering features like a 5.2-inch Quad HD display, 20.7 MP rear camera, 3 GB of RAM, and a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor. One of the main selling points of the handset is its large 3900 mAh battery with turbo charging.

While the Droid Turbo is still running Android 4.4 KitKat, Verizon and Motorola are reassuring us that it will "soon" be updated to Android 5.1 Lollipop. Would you buy a Droid Turbo at this time, or do you think there are better options out there for $500?
