The DROID TURBO is a Moto X on steroids that comes in your choice of Verizon black or Verizon red. We've seen a previous leak showing that the carrier had a bluer variant on the way, and now it's here. Verizon Wireless announced today that the—wait for it—Sapphire Blue Ballistic Nylon DROID TURBO is ready for purchase.
The phone goes for $199.99 with new two-year activation or twenty-four $24.99 monthly payments with Verizon Edge. Customers who activate a phone with Edge or trade-in a device to get the DROID TURBO are eligible for a $100 bill credit.
As for how the phone looks, it's what happens when a Verizon employee takes the black Ballistic Nylon version, accidentally drops it in blue paint, and turns on a high-powered fan that manages to get most of it back off. The phone is dark blue, except for a bright ring around the camera lens.
That aside, it's the same phone as before. You can get it in stores or online from the Verizon Wireless website.
