We've got the full results from iFixit, and it looks like the answer is… lots and lots of glue. The Droid 4 apparently has some excellent hardware, but the average user is going to have trouble getting to it. The battery, for instance, isn't supposed to be user-removable - a major departure from previous numbered Droid models - and taking it out requires fighting through a layer of strong adhesive.

The teardown revealed a few nice pieces of design, like a glass display that's separate from its underlying LCD, meaning that both won't have …

The day's finally here. Following its announcement last month, and our first glimpse of it at CES, the Droid 4 is now available on Verizon. In case you haven't been following, the handset combines the sliding keyboard that made its predecessors so popular with a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, LTE, and a slightly larger 1785mAh battery. The styling's slightly updated too, sharing the chopped corners of the Droid RAZR.

We're already seeing a number of discounts on the handset - while you'll pay $199.99 direct from Verizon on a two-year contract, Wirefly will charge you $149.99 and Amazon Wireless is offering it for $99.99. That's a …

We know it's coming, but we still don't know when Motorola's Droid 4 will launch at Verizon. In the meantime, the Droid 3 remains your best bet for an Android phone with a keyboard at the carrier and Verizon's making it more enticing by dropping the price to $99.

The Motorola Droid 4 has been pictured, thoroughly detailed, and was rumored for a December 2011 release, but the device continues to elude store shelves. And now a little more teasing is in order - some new photos from TechnoBuffalo show what looks like a demo Droid 4 unit sitting alongside an iPhone 4S (hint: the Droid looks bigger).
