The picture above shows off the Droid 3 and its beautiful QWERTY and was exposed within a pretty lengthy Droid 3 Pre Release thread at HowardForums. The scoop which was given to TechnoBuffalo by an anonymous tipster lays out some goodies. Firstly and presumably most notable is the return of the dedicated numbers row.
