The last few weeks have been a flurry of leaks about the Motorola DROID Turbo. We got our hands on some legitimate images of the actual device, saw the users manual, caught various renders and seemingly caught all the specs for the next DROID. There really wasn’t much left to be told, except for its official release date and pricing. This morning Motorola made the announcement via their blog and now we know when and just how much.
The Motorola DROID Turbo will be landing in Verizon stores and online on October 30th. It will be offered in two storage options, a 32GB and a 64GB. The 32GB variant will be offered in Metallic Black, Metallic REd or Ballistic Nylon where as the 64GB variant will only be offered in Ballistic Nylon. Price wise, the 32GB will set you back $199 on a two-year contract and the 64GB model will cost you $249. If you go for the Edge program, Verizon shows the 32GB at $599.99 for $24.99 a month. No specifics on the 64 GB Variant.

Need I say more? This is a serious piece of hardware and one that I am sure will thrive in the market quite nicely. Verizon doesn’t have the device up on their site in any pre-order capacity. However, they do have a sign-up page to get notifications about the device.
