With all of the talk about the Motorola DROID Bionic, the Targa and the DROID X^2, the Motorola DROID 3 has been conspicuous by its absence. But today, a picture of the phone was leaked. Actually, what was photographed was screen and top half kits by a OEM parts retailer called Global Redirects Parts.
The parts retailer might have made a slip-up when it mistakenly called the phone in the photo the Motorola Targa. As you know, the Targa-quite possibly to be named the DROID Bionic before launch-bares a strong resemblance to the DROID X. The code name for the DROID 3 is Solana.
While so far the Motorola DROID 3 does not exist according to Verizon and Motorola, the pictures do strongly show a phone that would be everything you would expect the DROID 3 to be with a front-facing camera and a slightly bigger 4 inch screen than the 3.7 inch display from the first two Motorola DROID models.
The Motorola DROID 3 will feature a front-facing camera
The Motorola DROID 3 appears to have a slightly increased 4 inch screen, up from the 3.7 inch display from the first two DROID models
The bump on the back of the DROID 3's slider proves the existance of the front-facing camera
