hopefully there'll be a Droid 5 in the near future. if they do it right i might would trade my MAXX HD for one.

Do you not like your Maxx hd?

Like he said, if the Droid 5 is just right, he would be willing to ditch the DRMHD for the D5.

Motorola really needs to hurry up with the Droid 5 already. I would have probably picked up that Motorola one that Sprint offers if it was on Verizon when I was still with them.

I would LOVE to have a 4.3 inch color boost 720p display, 5 row moto slideout keyboard, quad core s4 pro processor, 2 gbs of ram, and with jellybean.

Those specs I mentioned aren't going to happen anytime soon, maybe sometime in 2013 but we can dream can't we?

i doubt the S4 Pro or the addition of an extra GB of RAM because i don't think Motorola would want to 1-Up their Flagship Razr HD devices with something like a Droid 5.

the specs i would expect are...
a 4.3"-4.5" Edge to Edge 720p Colorboost Display
a regular 1.5GHz S4
1GB of RAM
5 Row Edge Lit Keyboard
a battery size between 2000mAh & 2530mAh
8MP Camera Rear Camera & a 1.3MP FFC
all being powered by at least Android 4.1.2 and the device will probably have a sleeker design.

the design is probably the leverage they'll use with the Droid 5. i'd hope for more of course but this is along the lines of what i'll expect.

or it may very well have an OMAP5. we'll just have to see.
i'd imagine we'll see it at CES when Verizon typically does their after holiday device announcements.

But the touch screen is very accurate and stock keyboard is quite good, swift key a little better.

same hear for some reason thats all people want is the cheap keyboard phones and then turn around and never use the keyboard lol.

And a larger display and higher screen resolution. The Q has a 4.3 inch qHD display at 4.3 inches.

a more accurate comparison would be to the Relay 4G for T-Mobile.
i can about promise you Motorola's 5-Row Keyboards will blow the keyboard on this thing away.

My younger sister has one, she hates it. For a mid-range phone it sucks.

She has major battery drainage, heating issues, random reboots and call quality just failed. She is on her third one since we upgraded her in DEC '11.

Plan to just speak to CS and get a different replacement, she doesnt want a keyboard anymore as its too bulky for her to carry around.
Will try to get a RAZR for her at least.

if you are selling a lot of stratosphere's you must work for a reseller & not a corporate location, which means you don't have to deal w/the backlash of the multitude of issues w/this phone seen at the corporate outlets. stratosphere is not a good phone by any means...along w/the samsung stellar.

When Google got rid of the menu button with the release of ICS, some OEMs kept it & restyled it into the three dots.
