LTE Targa, Droid 3 and Droid X 2 all caught on camera?

By Chris Parsons  | Mar 15 2011 | 7:44 am  | 49 Comments

Although we've seen plenty of the Droid X 2 so far to get a handle on in, some other devices have now appeared and are ready to be judged off the little information provided for them. First up, the above pictured Motorola Targa -- codename of course likely to change at launch -- is suggested to be packing LTE and most certainly headed to Verizon.

If you jump on past the break, you'll get a new look at the Droid X 2 as well as what is suggested to be the Motorola Droid 3. Again, aside from the images we don't have much to go off of but we expect to hear a lot more about each of these devices over the next little while. [Howard Forums (2), (3) via Phone Arena]

Fag, grow up. You are not cool if you post first.

Marked as spam, carry on.

balthuszar says:

and certain words in your post make you cool?

gracefulminutes says:

You've been marked as spam too. Us gays love us some Android, but not that word. :|

On-topic: everyone knows that phones usually stick to the adage "the sequel never surpasses the original"...annnd, this seems to hold true.

Targa & X2: practically twins IMO

D3: probably Blur'd to the nth degree and I no see no FFC.

Sad face.

BoNg420 says:

Sorry you made the wrong decision in life and choose to end the possibility of human reproduction. If everyone became gay, human life would cease to exist. I'm not religious, I hate religion, but butt sex is just wrong dude, noone deserves to have anything put in there, exit only sir.

gracefulminutes says:

I shouldn't even entertain this comment considering how much ignorance and hate is just dripping out of it. In the words of Rodney King... "Can't we all just get along?"

N05 says:

lol i cant even comprehend how retarded you are. obvious 14-year-old Christian is obvious.

BoNg420 says:

Maybe you should reread what I posted notice the part about hating religion. There is no god, the bible is fairy tales, heaven and hell don't exist, religion is for feeble minded people who can't accept the fact that when they die they are worm food. Gay people just are not right. My mom had her gay boss and his gay friends over like 8 years ago for dinner and all they were talking about was rimjobs and other gay sexual shit I did not want to hear. But hey I hear they are born that way, its all a mental thing, so I guess we don't need them producing more gays in this world anyways.

TuxDotKing says:

Trololo~

Richillion says:

I like how you believe ur intelligent enough to comprehend the universe and our existence in life. You single handily have all the answer and can disprove, thousands of years of civilizations, teachings, history, and un explain phenomenon . If you don't believe in something that is your right, but when you judge and act like you have figured out all the answers you sound like a closed minded idiot.

piusg#AC says:

You're either a blithering @$$#o1e or a troll. Either way, congratulations; you got exactly what you wanted--your daily dose of negative attention, you big insecure baby. While you're at it, you should go downtown and yell "fire" in a crowded theatre, too, you strand of anal hair.

Do the world a favor: cancel your Internet, mobile, and landline (if you have one) services--I'm having an extremely difficult time imaging circumstances under which anybody would want to interact with a pathetic piece of flotsam such as yourself.

Officerpolabear says:

Yeah I'm pretty sure that everyone is going to turn gay and stop making babies. I'm not gay, but I certainly don't see anything wrong about two people in love with each other.

diggity says:

anybody who thinks about butt sex enough to post about it on a cell phone enthusiast site must really be needing some butt sex... REALLY BAD. Hope you find what you're needing bub. In the meantime, feel free to call the rest of us gay folks 'fags'. We really don't give a shit what you call us.

briankurtz79 says:

Fag doesn't mean gay. It means loud obnoxious Harley rider!!

booboolala2000 says:

I take offense to that as a gay man with a Harley Davidson. Just talk about the phones people.

Seems like the X2 is a very bland redo. The Targa if dual core, and it says 4g or LTE on the back seems to be the winner here.

gracefulminutes says:

briankurtz79 - that made me chuckle a little...vroom vroom /seriously, not sarcasm

booboolala2000 - I totally understand, but that was a little bit funny, not mean-spirited.

Looking at the phones once again, I'm holding out hope that the D3 isn't Blur'd out like I said earlier on. I loved my Droid when I got it, and with my DX now, I miss the physical keyboard.

I hope Moto doesn't do away with the KBs and goes all touchscreen on us. Oh, and if they can make it so my Facebook/Twitter contacts don't sync with all 560 of my friends, that'd be cool too.

*goes to forums so as to not incite a riot*

briankurtz79 says:

It was a southpark episode

ravenlore says:

I'd don't care if it's Blur'ed beyond recognition...i just want a landscape slider with LTE :-/

Toxikhiro says:

Whereas YOU couldn't be cool with any amount of effort/money/surgery. Kill yourself.

rosser says:

Really?

bipoler#AC says:

really?..."FAG"....why is this world so damn ignorant watch your mouth you should be in jail for hate crimes with a mouth like that idiot

patchnauty says:

2nd woot why would you make an upgrade that looks the same?

knemchak says:

Exactly. I have the Droid X now. If I'm going to shell out $200-$250 for a new phone, it would be nice to feel like I'm getting something new.

AirSushi says:

One reason that the phone may look the same and is good for consumers like me who already have a Droid X is that all the accessories that I have purchased would fit the next model as well and therefore make it more likely that I would be brand loyal on my next purchase.

booboolala2000 says:

True. But they could have done a lot better than a screen upgrade and overclock by a measly .2ghz.

SanGo says:

People with complacency issues. Also makes it easier to discontinue the previous model if the new one is almost indistinguishable to the average consumer. Buyers are content with character-less black slabs because for whatever reason, it symbolizes "new high-end technology"

balthuszar says:

i dont understand all the hoopla about the "looks" of a phone...if the phone does what i want it to do, who cares what it looks like? make it bright pink and shaped like a heart...if it does what i want it to do i'll buy it

apostrafee says:

the outside may look the same but the inside is all new

VMdoug says:

Looking at the location of the Micro USB and HDMI ports on the Targa makes it appear that it may be an "atrix like" phone, hopefully compatible w/ the laptop dock. This could make me switch from Sprint to VZW...

bjs188 says:

thank you for making a relevant point unlike those above. I think that is a great pick up. that would make me very interested in this, as i currently am contemplating the Thunderbolt...

balthuszar says:

motorola released a statement not long ago about all their new phones are going to be compatible with a laptop dock

ka3yan says:

I see the Targa has the HDMI and Micro USB to fit the multimedia and laptop docks...just as Motorola had said all new devices would have.

edit: Dang ^ beat me to it. :-/

bjs188 says:

^ that's ok, I think that point is worth repeating. Good eyes!

yardie87 says:

For Targa I call..well done Photoshopped Iphone 3GS/ Nokia N / Droid X mashup! C'Mon Son! Getdafucouttaherewitdatbullshi#

bjs188 says:

my what a large hash tag you have

h0ruza#AC says:

The Droid 3 looks ok although isn't about time the 4mm edge was removed to give us more screen.
The same goes for the top of the phone where the logo and ear piece rest. Why not combine them, have the logo as a cut out for the speaker so there is less dead space on the from of the phone and more screen for the form factor.

Its these touches that make a product stand out.

IceDree says:

Interesting , if any of this true , most likely the Droid 3 will be the only one that have a GSM variant (as MileStone 3)

justflorin says:

sadly, unless they have plans to roll out variants of the laptop dock (and why wouldnt they with how hot they have been selling /sarcasm) the new targa will NOT fit the current atrix laptop dock...the micro usb and hdmi are upside down compared to the atrix....they are identical facing to the current dx and quite possibly the dx2...so maybe this will be the new moto 'standard'
...along with locking out/protecting/signing the bootloader, ie dx and atrix...

hmmm says:

That first pic is not a very good looking phone IMO.

cloud36426 says:

is it just me or does that first phone look to be in a case kinda like the lost I*hone? Looks like a x variant in a case to keep form factor and design hidden.

tim242 says:

Gay & Android proud! : )

thepattyrick says:

I don't see a volume rocker on the Targa?

ms.carmendiva says:

There are some idiots on this post. SMH,
and here I though android users were a lot
less of assholes & douches. Anyway, I love
you gays :) And the motorola targa looks
pretty cool!

vegeta_2123 says:

i cant find the post anywhere now but it was rumored that they were going to make most if not all new moto phones compatible with the laptop dock

RoboCD says:

If you look at the lettering by the camera, it looks like it could say either 5 MP or 9 MP. I'm guessing its supposed to say 9.

gafly says:

The "taga" pictured above is totally fake.

1) In the front facing pic the phone has 8 corners (4 iPhoneish corners and 4 Dorid X or EVO corners)
2) In the side pics the phone has the normal amount of corners.
3) The artist clearly forgot to Photoshop over half of the Verizon logo back in on the front facing pic.

I'm sure there are more issues with the pics but I have better things to do.

elvisofaces says:

Say you would think they would get rid of the damn keys on the bottom!! That is the only feature i dont like on my X. Make them flat and touch sensitive and we are set!

GQ50 says:

So Motorola states all their with dual cores phones will be able to dock with the laptop dock. Will the X2 I wonder? Spam filter is killing me..lol

Techrecycler says:

Want a Moto slider coming off my Droid1, just hoping for a new form factor. Hope D3 looks cooler in person...hmm. CM7 RC4 @ 1100mhz for now ain't so bad tho considering WinMo 6.1 was killing me till less than 2 yrs ago. The hardware drops should be interesting this yr...woot woot for Upgrade August :-)
