Aaron unboxes and does an early review of Verizon's Motorola DROID 4 smartphone.  Announced at CES 2012, the DROID 4 is the newest iteration of the original DROID line and offers a 1.2 GHz dual-core TI OMAP processor, 4-inch qHD display (540x960 pixels), 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video capture, a non-removable 1,785 mAh battery, and Android 2.3.5 with Motorola's custom UI.  It's the first QWERTY DROID to have 4G LTE capabilities, and it's available on February 10th for $199.99.

It's nice to see the original DROID brand get upgraded with a new design and 4G LTE support, but it goes up against the LG Spectrum, HTC's Rezound, the Motorola DROID RAZR, and the RAZR MAXX.  Does the QWERTY keyboard and future global roaming capabilities (once Verizon enables the feature) make it worth a look?
