Verizon to get some Droid lovin'

Busy day for Verizon, isn’t it? Another handset they’ll be receiving this fall is the Motorola Scholes Tao Droid, the name hasn’t been confirmed yet. It will be a “with Google” phone — hopefully it’ll have a better soft keyboard than the MyTouch — so no MotoBlur or proprietary Verizon UI. Fortunately, it has a landscape hardware keyboard, a rarity for Android, and a push for the businessman demographic (and the nerds as well). The specs certainly target those groups as well. A 3.7 inch WVGA 854×480 touchscreen is sure to please the businessman (read: nerd) in all of us. Full specs below.

• 3.7″ screen
• 854×480 WVGA capacitive screen
• 5 megapixel camera
• ARM Cortex 500MHz CPU
• Facial recognition using the built-in camera (apparently you take a photo of someone and Google will pull in search results based on the image)
• Custom Motorola Interface/UI, no MOTOBLUR, no Verizon UI
• Available in black and titanium colors
