The relationship between Motorola and Verizon has been pretty successful, to the point that the Droid branding used by the two companies has reached almost Kleenex/Band-Aid ubiquity.

There’s plenty of buzz going on about the reported Sprint/HTC event happening in two weeks. On April 4, the big bosses of the two companies will present… something.
