Man – is Motorola just giving out new, unannounced handsets to everyone they see carrying a camera? Between the Droid Xtreme, and the Droid 2 , the number of leaks is starting to get silly . With that said, keep’em coming! Today’s latest batch of leaked goods comes in the form of gloriously sharp shots of the Droid 2’s keyboard-less brother, the Droid Xtreme.

If it all rings true, the Droid Xtreme ought to come packing a 4.3″ screen, HDMI Out, Android 2.1, a brand spankin’ new version of Motoblur, and a 750Mhz OMAP processor — and as the pictures so blatantly proclaim, this one’s headed for Verizon.
