Not really surprised, August would be a one-year turnaround from last year's debut of the D2. I do hope that they treat it better in the D3 iteration. Seems like between the locked-bootloader and the D2/R2D2/D2G dilution of the form factor the developer community never really went with it. For me personally I will stick with the keyboard, I love it and I need it, haha.

I would love it if the Droid 3 has a bigger screen.
It would be nice to see a 4-inch screen on the droid 3
Agreed on the screen size. And edge-to-edge display (or close to it) should allow for a larger size that keeps the phone at the same size. With the improvements in chips I think it wouldn't be farfetched to see a slightly slimmer D3 either. I don't think I've quite pushed this phone beyond its limits to the degree at which I would say "darn, I need something better and faster" but I think so far I've travelled that line quite well.
I'm not hoping for a superphone ala One Phone To Rule Them All ... but realistically I expect it to be the best Android offering with a keyboard regardless of where the non-keyboarded brethen might be.
Here's how I'd bump specs:
5MP Camera to 8MP Camera
DVD 30FPS video to HD 30FPS video
3.7" (480x854) to 4.0" (540x960)
Single Core to Multiple Core
1400mAh battery to 1930mAh battery
512MB RAM to 768MB RAM
Android 2.2 to Android 2.3 (with guaranteed Ice Cream upgrade)
And lastly 4.58"x2.38"x0.54" dimension with 169g weight to
4.50"x2.30"x0.50" dimension with 140g weight.
It'd be interesting for them to throwback to the original D1 industrial hard-line look.

To be honest, no 4g? I wont buy it. Everything will be cool I bet, but I have a two year upgrade plan and will wait it out since we all know a Droid 4 will have 4g an come a year later.
4G hasn't really proved itself yet. So to demand it in a D3 would be more for the "new-ness" of it I guess. I got my Droid 2 last August/September so I'm not really due for a new phone for another year and a half. So I'm on that same boat where for me the Droid-4 or fourth generation of this particular Android with Physical keyboard iteration.
