Blurry image leak shows new Motorola handset on Verizon

A few images of a new Motorola handset were leaked online and there is good reason to believe it will join the Droid lineup of Android smartphones on Verizon. The picture above confirms a few things: one it will launch as a Droid phone, two it features a slide-out portrait QWERTY keyboard, and three it will be a mid-range phone on the Verizon network. The familiar red-eye depicted on the phone is the brand commonly associated with Verizon Wireless’ Droid. For those familiar with Verizon smartphones, it has a similar appearance to the Palm Pre Plus in terms of a slide-out keyboard. Given the relatively small screen size, the unknown Motorola phone will most likely be an entry-level device on the Verizon network. Since Verizon already boasts the Droid, Droid X, Droid Incredible, and the upcoming Motorola Droid 2, a mid-range device should work well. Maybe this device is the Motorola WX445 we saw a little over a week ago?
