Motorola recently announced a device called the MT917 for the Chinese market. It is basically the RAZR, but with a larger 4.5 inch screen that also boasts a full 720p resolution, 13 megapixel camera, and what we are assuming to be a larger battery. With a total of 8.5 mm thick. We argued that the MT917 should have been what Americans received instead of what is currently out on the market.

A photo have appeared on the internet that were taken with a device that has the model name RAZRMAX within the EXIF data. The photo is only 6 megapixels, so we cannot tell if the RAZRMAX is the MT917 or just another RAZR.

Today we have some official images of the handset and a specification chart, courtesy of Droid Life. These images show us that the new DROID 4 does look strikingly similar to the DROID RAZR as long as it is closed. Even the back has a similar look with a bump at the top that has become common on the DROID handsets.

Under the display is a spacious looking full QWERTY keypad with a white backlight that shines through the gaps between the keys.

As for the specifications, the DROID 4 has a 4.0-inch qHD display with Gorilla Glass protection, dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 8 megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, HD front facing camera, 4G LTE connectivity and a 1,785mAh battery.

According to a leaked screenshot from verizon inventory system, December 8th may not only be the rumored release date of the Galaxy Nexus, but also the potential launch date for Motorola Droid 4. Well, the 8th of December is certainly gearing up to be an exciting day for Android Smartphones in the US.

For all of you out there late to the Android party this month, The Droid 4, which was leaked in early-build photos, is expected to have a four-inch Super AMOLED Advanced display, slightly smaller than the similarly-looking Razr 4.3-inch panel that uses the same display technology. The housing also takes its overall shape from the Razr, with the exception of the physical keyboard. Other features should include dual cameras, HDMI output and full-HD 1080p video recording.

The Droid RAZR source code has been released on sourceforge and while it is not much use to anyone aside from developers that is not really the point. Point is, it is there it is available for all whom wish to view it.

he release of the source code should start to bear fruit in the following days and weeks when various tweaks and low-level software customizations for the Droid RAZR should start popping up.
