I had the exact same complaint about the RAZR...at 4.3" it just felt a bit too wide in my hands. But on my OG Droid, sometimes 3.5" seems a tad small. I think the 4" screen of the D4 will be the sweet spot, hopefully.Phone seems awesome, the only bad thing i ever heard about the razr is it just feels too big or wide in your hands (i never held one) is that the same with the droid 4?
Round 2 of questions:
1)The keyboard: How is it physically different? Does it have good 'feel' for touch typing? How is the tactile feedback from the keys?...
Physically the buttons are raised more than the D3, which people argue is the best keyboard they have had. The backlit keyboard is perfect in the dark, and the audio feedback you receive when pressing the button (click sound) is welcomed. Keyboard 10x better than the d3 – and I loved that keyboard.

I don't think there are any comparison photos but here is a comparison of some of the specs
The D4 won't have native screenshot ability until ICS.I don't recall the details, but some GB phones do have it already.
The RAZR width is 68.9mm while the D4 width (according to Trusstopher's source) is ~65.1mm. By comparison, the he OG Droid width is 60.5mm.i understand that but the dimensions he posted up there are almost the same as the razr which scares me now
Nopeis the battery removable?

The RAZR width is 68.9mm while the D4 width (according to Trusstopher's source) is ~65.1mm. By comparison, the he OG Droid width is 60.5mm.
So the D4 is ~7.5% wider than the D1 and ~5.5% narrower than the RAZR.
Nope
Definitely not AMOLED. Judging by this comparison, it's likely the same screen as the D3.Any word on the display itself? Is it a pentile like the D3 or an actual RGB stripe? Is it definitely an LCD or just shrunken version of the RAZR's AMOLED?
Still testing the battery...with the same as I mentioned before, i added...
-- Craigslist app surfing (30mins)
-- Google + messenger running for 1.5 hours for conversation
-- downloaded 2 full albums of music.
Battery at 50%.
So, then it does have a removable battery, or is the taking off of the back cover only show the sim(s) card slot and the microsd card slot? And just be 100% clear, this is really a global capable device?
Battery finally died after 5 hours 13 mins of usage. Honestly, that is exactly what I expected with that type of heavier usage. Download ~1.5 gigs worth of music in addition to everything else I did.
I know this doesn't answer all questions but here are the ones i can remember....
Yes the battery is in a soft pouch and it appears that with some minor surgery your could replace it yourself.
It may very well be the same screen as the D3 but this seems brighter and more vivid with colors when compared directly beside a D3.
Also the keyboard doesn't make an actual audio noise its just a gentle click from the design. Its nice because you know you're hitting a button instead of guessing
