Motorola Mobility and Verizon Wireless are expected to make a new DROID handset available for purchase in the near future, namely the Motorola DROID 4, which was leaked countless times before.

The handset was initially expected to arrive before the end of 2011 but that did not happen. The new targeted release date was said to be February 2nd.

Nothing was officially announced on the matter, but accessories for the device have already started to arrive in stores, pointing at a near release, Droid-life reports.

Moreover, DROID 4 demo units are also said to be landing at retail locations, which makes the said rumored release date something to look forward to. If the rumor pans out, we would not be surprised at all to see the handset made official at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas later this month.
