Long rumored based on guesses and bits of information from Motorola and Google, the “Shadow” could be Verizon’s Droid part two or another smartphone entirely.

Speculation is the foundation of many web forums. At Howard Forums, the pictured “manual” is being bantered about. Photographs like these are 5-minute Photoshop jobs, so I would remain skeptical unless there is more concrete evidence. Anyway, the supposed Shadow looks like the lovechild of the HTC Incredible/Evo 4G and a soupcon of the Motorola Droid and has the following supposed specs:

- 4.1″ TFT WVGA screen
- Texas Instruments OMAP 3630 45nm Processor clocked at 720 MHz
- 8Gb Storage
- Android 2.2 by launch possible, otherwise Android 2.1 with Moto BLUR
- 8 MP camera
- 720p recording
- 1080p output via HDMI port
- ~9mm thick
- Releasing in July
