Droid 5 Release Date 2013/ 2014

No Droid 5 in 2013 does not mean the Droid 5 phone will never come out, but Motorola requires time to plans, prepare and bring it out.

Verizon is also not expected to drop the DROID brand off, and if its has to go with the Droids the line-up must be refreshed with a new flagship device coming to it.
