What always surprised me is how numbers-oriented this marketplace has become. Do you really care, if it's only a dual-core and not a quad? The mere presence of hardware qwerty on the unit positions it for business sector, so one would think that the more appropriate slant would be to keep the processing power, increase storage and possibly RAM, upgrade connectivity and work on power consumption and battery life.
Sure, I don't want it to go so bad as to look like Philips, where having a 3600 battery comes with an all-too-modest spec with not "yummy" business features. But somewhere along those lines would be nice. Hey, after all, Philips does not cost like Motorola either.

Seriously...they need to get with the times. No quad-core cpu? No 2GB RAM? The Droid 4 had 2012-current specs (1.2 GHz dual-core cpu + 1GB RAM). How can they possibly expect a phone to survive in 2014 with 2-year-old specs?

Why even make this phone if you are not going to release it out of the US? In the US, everyone buys iPhones. In the rest of the world, everyone buys Androids. Release this in a market that you have at least a chance...

Ale_012, 18 Sep 2013Hi, check this page and you will get amazed..
http://shop.... moreOkay, not bad, not bad at all.
Perhaps at some stage - or in a newer model - they might be able to get the keyboard to use the phone's battery.
When that happens, man, it'll be a fantastic device.
Thanks for the info.

Common_636, 10 Sep 2013Your so bias its not even funny. why stop at Samsung alone,... moreMy Samsung Corby Pro has a brilliant keyboard, has lasted me three years and has been dropped a million times. It isn't a smartphone however, but it is my favourite phone I have owned because of all the testing I get up to with work. Wish they had continued with that model but it was never popular...

AnonD-186984, 15 Sep 201318 month old 32 bit CPU design. Same 1 GB of RAM as my DROI... moreYeah, we just take what we're given for QWERTY phones.
I understand those things you've mentioned will be important to most - but I just want a good keyboard.
The rest to me is superfluous.
Well, more than just a good keyboard - I want it to be available outside the US also.

I LOVE my keyboard but suddenly an Apple 5S with a bluetooth keyboard is looking better. 64 bit processor. More RAM. A working finger print login ability.
Sure it will cost more money but keyboard people deserve top tier phones, not obsolete retreads. Motorola needs to ramp up the ram and choose a real CPU, a 64 bit CPU. Perhaps take another stab at finger print device activation.

I had a Droid 3 also, and I really liked the form factor. 4.5" or above would be great though.
I didn't click too well with Android though (personal preference), which is why I'm probably not likely to pick up the Droid 5.

I love hardware keys. My next phone will probably sport a keyboard. Nowadays, there aren't many options for hardware keys phones. The tactile feedback from hardware keys are just amazing, maybe i will buy it or the Xperia Mini pro.

"Then again, the return of hardware QWERTY might be just enough to do the trick." To me, it certainly does! It's a shame that the best Android phone with physical keyboard in Europe (and, I believe, in everywhere non-USA) is still the Xperia Pro, with only Android 4.0.4, a single-core CPU, 512 MB RAM and no user-accessible internal storage...

Yes yes yesssss. I'd love to get my hands on this. Have been waiting for a good Android QWERTY since a while.
I'm going to buy it the moment I can.
