This has definitely slipped under the radar since all the Android gossip has been about the upcoming Nexus Prime and when it will finally be available. Now though, Motorola has set a date for an event in New York on October 18th at 12pm, in which the company will be unveiling their latest smartphone, rumored to be the Motorola Spyder, or Droid HD / RAZR as it has also been known by, as reported from Droid-Life.

One thing that is confirmed is that this device will be heading to Verizon, meaning it will surely be a direct competitor to Google and Samsung’s Nexus Prime which is expected to be unveiled at any moment now. As usual though, Motorola are remaining silent on their new toy until their event lands on October 18th. However, they have released a teaser video, which gives a few possible hints on the design and maybe even the final name of the device as well.

If you check out the video below, you’ll see that Motorola drop quite a few hints on the device, most notably the ‘razor’ cutting through objects and the kevlar vest which alligns with previous rumors suggesting that the device would include kevlar material to strengthen its design. On this basis, don’t be suprised if the device actually gets announced as the Motorola RAZR rather than the Spyder, but it’s still up in the air at the moment.

The device will obviously be a 4G LTE device if it’s heading to Verizon, and we’re guessing that a decent dual-core 1.2Ghz mininum processor will come as standard though. Other than that, full specs of the device are still unknown.

So all eyes on Motorola’s announcement on the 18th then, do you believe that this phone will be better than the mighty Nexus Prime or not? It’s a win win situation for Verizon of course, so which handset are you going to opt for, and why?

One device that has now got a lunch date in the US is the Samsung Galaxy S II, and is a device that has sold really well in places it is already available. In the US the device will be getting LTE from the off, even though the technology is being added to in other areas next year. The device comes running Android Gingerbread powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor.

There is also an eight megapixel shooter, while the Sprint and T-mobile versions have a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED display and the AT&T model has 4.3-inch. Many consumers have been waiting for the much delayed Motorola Droid Bionic to finally hit the shelves, but it may be too late for this handset as the Motorola Droid HD has been spotted.

What is known of the device so far is a screen size of 4.5-inches with 1280 x 720 resolutions. This also has an eight megapixel camera and is also thought to be around the same thickness as the Galaxy S II. Although not an Android device the HTC Titan looks a fully featured cell phone. It is on the large side though with a huge 4.7-inch display and again is very thin at only 0.39 of an inch.

This is also powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and has 16GB of on board storage, and again an eight megapixel camera can be found, and will be running the latest Windows Phone Mango software. If you don’t want to own a tablet PC and a smartphone the recently announced Samsung Galaxy Note may be the device for you. This comes with a massive 5.3-inch Super AMOLED display, and is only slightly thicker than the Galaxy S II.

It is powered by a 1.4GHz dual-core processor running Android Gingerbread OS, and power is supplied via a hefty 2,500mA Li-on battery. Release dates have yet to be announced but there are rumors the device won’t be making it to the US. So if an iPhone is not your thing there are plenty of other choices available to you.

What smartphone will you be purchasing next?

There were many who were disappointed with the size of the Bionics display, but some images have appeared over at Engadget of the Droid Bionic that feature a handset with the name Droid HD alongside it. The Droid HD has what seems a 4.5-inch display that is thought to have at least a qHD display, and maybe even 1280×720 resolution as it is called the HD.

The handset seems to be running Android Gingerbread and has an 8-megapixel camera on the back with a LED flash, which has 1080p recording options. A Micro USB charging port and a Micro HDMI slot for showing content on your HDTV are also on the Droid HD. On the left hand side of the rather thin looking handset are slots for the SIM and MicroSD card, while on the other side there is the power and volume buttons

There are currently not many details of the device, but it will leave many potential Droid Bionic customers having even bigger second thoughts they may have already be having. The branding on the handset point to a Verizon handset, and although not quite as thin as the Galaxy S II it is not thought to have 4G compatibility.

As these images are from a possible tester in the wild the Droid HD could be set for release in the near future. This handset coupled alongside the likes of the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S II, and Droid Bionic is giving consumers the nice problem of being spoilt for choice. Use the link above for more images.
