Motorola Droid 4 Review: This Keyboard Rocks, But That's About It

The Droid 4 doesn't look much like its other Droid siblings, but it does promise the same stellar keyboard and a solid construction. At $199 it won't break your wallet, but it will offer most of the same specs we're seeing go for $300, including a 4G LTE radio. If thin and light is important to…
