I was browsing the Google books list for Android relates books and came across a book called Android for Work. The cover caught my eye. It says "Droid X 4G Made Simple". I'm sorry if this phone was already announced, but I haven't heard anything about the Droid X 4G before this book, so I figured some of you may be interested.

Bump. Is this old news?
I know Gingerbread is on everyone's mind and all, but I can't believe no one cares about this. I'm pretty sure this is news, because I searched Google, and the only mentions of "Droid X" and "4G" are comparisons of the Droid X to the Evo and someone asking a forum if the Droid X would support 4G. If I'm mistaken and this is old, I apologize, but I can't find any references to a "Droid X 4G" anywhere else.
Im curious about this now... Id switch to a droid x if it had 4g
Last bump. If no one else cares, I'm done with this. But don't act all surprised if it's real. I really thought more people would be interested in this.
Just from the blurb in the screenshot, it seems much more likely that that book was put together by a marketing hack unfamiliar with technology than it is that someone has figured out how to hack a 4G radio into the Droid X.
I was assuming that the Droid X 4G would be a new phone entirely.
I figured someone associated the wrong cover image for the book. The description doesn't seem to match the title.
My thought was that having the cover ready meant a book for developing for that phone might be published eventually, and why would they bother writing and publishing such a book if the phone wasn't already planned for production?

Motorola Droid 3 Coming On July 7?
engadget said:
The Motorola Droid 3 already appeared in Best Buy's computer system back at the beginning of May but so far we don't know anything exact regarding its release date, though it shouldn't be far off.
According to Droid-life sources, the Motorola Droid 3 is being targetted by Verizon for a July 7 announcement date. While this still belongs in the Rumor category though, popular smartphone game producer Gameloft has added the phone as the "Motorola XT862 Droid 3" to their list of compatible devices. The codename fits as the Droid 3 surfaced with the same numbering on NenaMark's website a month ago.

Nice, but can i haz unlocked bootloaders?
Global radio connectivity (as in a worldphone) would be sweet too.
Half of me hopes it is, half of me hopes its not...I just got the X2 yesterday and my next upgrade isn't until August D:
Locked down + pentile display = no thx
Great.
I hope they include a Tegra 2
Is it 4g LTE?

Unlocked bootloader?
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
TI OMAP4 4430 and now that TI's OMAP4's support Netflix HD the Droid 3 has a bit more game in it. Yeah I know no 4G, NOT everyone lives in a 4G Market so why would they buy a 4G phone and have the batter life suck while the phone searches for a 4G signal.

I am trying to sum the content of link up, but i CAN´T speak or read chinese so its translated by google:
Price: it says something about 2600TWD. But that just can´t be the price for the phone. That would be around 62EUR.
Cpu: 1,2Ghz or 1,5Ghz.. i am not sure if that should be dualcore or not.
Screen: Resolution of 480*854, but no word on size.
The picture in the Link:

I don´t know if any of these information are correct. Don´t blame me for any wrong info.

update: i just realised that the phones in the picture are the Milestone 2 and the Droid X. So the specs should be clear.
I guess a chinese carrier is rebranding them and selling them with miui.

It's dualcore and the phone in the picture is just a concept of M1.
The phone is OEM by Motorola,so why there are Milestone 2 and the Droid X.And the price is about 400USD.

Lol...cause manufacturers only have to produce accessories for 1 device, rather than the (insert number here) Android devices that are on the market.
I don't believe that there is a bluetooth keyboard like that created for the Inspire/DesireHD. You could get any old bluetooth keyboard, but it won't work if you're running a Sense ROM (they don't contain the proper bluetooth stack), which is probably why no one's bothered to manufacture something like this, because it would only be useful to rooted users
DOH! Sence has a weakness... bluetooth stack... they rele need to fix it asap! lol the case reminded me alot of my old Tilt2 thats y i was interested.
I do wish that they had some sort of keyboard case.. This was my first smartphone and so I didn't care about having a keyboard or not, but I really really really miss a keyboard now. I guess the next time that I get a phone, it's going to be one with a keyboard.
So the shift has been out for a little bit now... and Im starting to grow bored. Some of the ICS Sense Roms around the board on other phones are looking pretty sweet, and my interest has been slowly fading. So onto my question, where exactly is our next Android slider? Hopefully CES brings something. The D4 going to verizon looks sick. Im not deadset on HTC and Sense, but Ive had HTC phones since the VX6700 several years ago, just kept buying them lol. If Verizon didnt have crappy plans in my opinion Id switch for the D4. However I dont believe anyone can touch sprints pricing, since they include text/data in their plans.
Well as far as I know, the only two phones for sprint at CES are the Galaxy Nexus, and the LG Viper. Unfortunately, no sliders (yet hopefully). I'm just praying that the next slider has a spring.
Wrong section for one but Sprint shows off most of their phones at MWC next month
Im not tired of my shift yet but i am ready for an upgrade. That being said i really hope the next slider does have a spring.
Good things come to those who wait.
i think slider is not important.

Oh wait you meant Sprint... send an email to Dan Hesse about it.
maybe its because i havnt used motoblur personally, but i would probably rather root re-rom and run asop with a launcher or something over the Droid UI, but it is a very nice looking phone.
So I'm sure this has been asked before, but why is there no section for the Lumia 710? Either world or TMo version...orboth? It's a popular phone, maybe not as popular as some of the others...but it is.
Mostly all discussion is done in the WP section anyway.

If there are ever sales numbers released, or more than two ( 2 ) people raise Cane for a forum section....you'll see it happen.
Look at just how slow the wp7 GENERAL section proceeds. There is very little action in the entire section compared to some other phone models, let alone other os's.
For instance, there is a 3 hour pause in postings as seen in this screen shot, some phone model subsections don't even pause 3 minutes.

I think part of the problem is that it hasn't shown itself to be a very popular phone, and even if it is, its marketed toward first-time smartphone buyers, who really won't want to do anything with their phone, or know how to do it (let alone know what XDA even is).
Had it been a higher end phone, I'm sure it would have seen a board, but unfortunately, until it gains some ground or some kind of awesome Lumia 710/Nokia breakthrough is made, you probably won't see it here.
