Its Verizon brand. Both Verizon and the company in question have to want a phone to have the droid badge. Usually, the droid phones do not have close counter parts on other carriers. Similar but not very close. Every phone sold with the droid name has royalties given to Verizon and Lucas film or arts or whatever.
Why the original "droid" was named as such is kind of weird. I am assuming that is was Verizon that actually commissioned the phone more than moto willed its existence. Maybe it was Verizon that pulled the plug?
