Verizon now taking online orders for the Motorola DROID ULTRA and Motorola DROID MAXX

Verizon's website is now ready to ring up your orders for the Motorola DROID ULTRA and the Motorola DROID MAXX. The former comes equipped with a 5 inch AMOLED screen offering a resolution of 720 x 1280. That adds up to a pixel density of 294ppi. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.7GHz Motorola X8 processor and 2GB of RAM is on board. 16GB of native storage comes with the phone, but there is no microSD slot available. The 10MP camera on back captures video in 1080 x 1920 at 60fps, and there is a front-facing 2MP camera for self-portraits and video chats. A 2130mAh battery keeps the lights on and Android 4.2.2 is pre-installed.

The Motorola DROID MAXX, as you might imagine, has basically the same specs although its dimensions are a little bigger to make room for the larger 3500mAh capacity battery that keeps the power going for two days, according to the manufacturer. In addition, the DROID MAXX comes with 32GB of native storage, although there is no microSD slot here either. The Motorola DROID ULTRA is $199.99 with a two-year contract while the DROID MAXX is priced at $299.99 with the signed pact. Both phones will ship no later than August 27th.

Verizon reps should plan on being busy in the next few weeks with the HTC One coming August 22nd followed by the Motorola Moto X. Speculation has the Moto X coming as soon as August 23rd. Both phones should be priced at $199.99 with a signed two-year contract.
