DF's member nagmier found a hot tip/pic over at HoFo that appears to be the highly anticipated Motorola Shadow running 2.1 w/MotoBlur.

With the rumored July release of the Shadow and no solid information as to when Froyo will hit current VZW Android devices it's anybody's guess what the Shadow will ship with.

The little that has been said about this device is that it will be quite an astonishing piece of hardware.

We'll be watching this one closely.

*UPDATE 5/23/2010 wnrussell has reported that the Shadow won't be released until late August due to a hardware change.*

UPDATE 5/25/2010 Specs: 4.1" screen, OMAP 3630, 8 GB Internal, 8 GB MMC, 8MP camera and HDMI out.

Updated OP with rumored specs...

These specs have been talked about extensively and have not been debunked.

I do not think it will have a keyboard though.

As always these things can change but that OMAP 3630 will fly.

CK you bum! You beat me to it! :) I just saw this as I was leaving the store and was gonna post it up. Engadget has it up as well

Mystery Motorola Droid (Shadow?) spotted with Verizon branding, set to be starting somethin' -- Engadget
Ha...gotta be handy with the steel. Earn your keep..

You will happy to know it will more than likely be sporting that OMAP 3630....

Wow

The 3630 is a nice an excellent SoC but not a big enough step up from an OC'ed 3430 in the Droid for me to justify a switch. The next device I get will have to be a Cortex A-9 based handset. Hoping that by this time next year my wish will come true.

I think one of the neatest things is the HDMI port.

It has a Purty Screen it looks. It looks way too much like the droid though? (Not that it's a bad thing, was hoping for some unique design flair)

the only thing that was not included in the 2.1 update for the droid was the homescreens and 3d launcher, verizon is not blocking any thing, what ever app pops up in the market you can download it to the droid as long as it supports the phone, verizon has not blocked on single app but has warned that if you use any app that tampers with your contract you will be charged for example wifi tether. if your so unhappy with verizon then quit whining and put your money where your mouth is and get a carrier that works for you, after all just like the droid, the shadow will more than likly be GSM too
