Motorola may have put most of its efforts into its new Moto X, Moto G, and Moto 360 in recent months, but the company hasn’t forgotten about its Droid partnership with Verizon. In fact, the company reportedly has a new handset up its sleeve that’s set to arrive next month with a new rapid charging feature.

Verizon’s just started rolling out an over-the-air (OTA) update which transports a handful of new features and stability improvements, in addition to the much-anticipated Android 4.4.4 software build, to its carrier-branded variant of Samsung’s flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5.

HTC One M8 owners on Verizon, here is some news to cheer you up. HTC’s Vice President of Product Management, Mo Versi, has announced on Twitter that the Android 4.4.3 update for your handset will start rolling out from September 10th.

Verizon has today begun accepting pre-orders for the upcoming Moto 360 that ships with a stainless steel band. The device will be available in both silver and grey, and it will cost $299 with free shipping — that’s $50 more than the current leather-banded model, which went on sale just last week.

Motorola has confirmed that the new Moto X will not be available as a Developer Edition device on Verizon this time around. A GSM version is still expected for those on AT&T and T-Mobile, but those with a need for a CDMA version are out of luck.
