Motorola DROID RAZR,11-11-11

It should be no surprise to you at this point that the DROID RAZR is about to be one big gigantic deal for both Verizon and Motorola what with its slick nature and LTE connectivity, and here’s another reason to get excited: a brand new double-data plan. Verizon will be starting a promotion on November 8th, 2011, in which both existing and new customers are eligible for double data plans. Those people getting a 2GB data plan now for $30 will soon be getting a 4GB data plan for that same $30. Sound like a pretty good deal to attach to your brand spanking new LTE device?

This information comes aside the news that the DROID RAZR will be available on 11-11-11 at Verizon Stores nationwide. These stores will be opening at 11:11 AM local time and the DROID RAZR will go on sale then, November 11, 2011. Then once again note, this plan will allow customers subscribing to a Verizon 4G smartphone data plan to receive double the amount of data they’d normally get for the same monthly fee. BONUS: for customers who would at this point like a smaller data plan, you’ll be able to add a 300 MB data plan to your Verizon Wireless smartphone or basic phone (aka feature phone) for $20 per month added to a voice plan. 1.

Form-factor. It is insanely thin (7.1mm), which makes the iPhone 4S and Droid Bionic run crying to Jenny Craig. There's virtually no bezel around the front anymore, and the camera area looks stronger (which is good, since that glass cracked on my Bionic). 2. It's appreciably faster. The RAZR consistently booted up between 12 and 20 seconds faster than the Bionic, and it benchmarked better, too, averaging 2693 vs. 2413 Quadrant Standard. No surprise: It has a 1.2GHz processor vs. the Bionic's 1GHz chip. 3. The screen. We ragged on the Bionic's screen pretty hard. The RAZR's is a lot better. The new Droid's screen is Super AMOLED Advanced. "Advanced" aside, its Super AMOLEDness delivers deep blacks and vivid, accurate colors.

There's still some pixilation, though. There's a slick new unlock screen that allows you to easily switch to vibrate mode or fire up the camera directly. Moto has also somehow managed to squeeze a slightly bigger battery in there—1780 mAH vs 1735 mAH on the Bionic, which, coupled with the less energy-hungry Super AMOLED, should give you a small (and it will be small) boost in battery life. THIN. The Droid Bionic used to be the best* phone on Verizon. Less than two months after its release, the Droid RAZR has snatched that title away. Literally, the only reason to buy the Bionic over the RAZR is if you want to save 50 bucks. The original RAZR practically saved Motorola's bacon; the new RAZR is worthy of its inherited name—it's easily the most exciting phone form-factor of 2011. It looks like the Motorola RAZR – known in the US as the Droid RAZR – will be finally released tomorrow in the UK (initially, it was expected to be launched there last week, on November 1).

Clove will sell the new RAZR unlocked for £454.80 – about €530 or $728.
The Moto RAZR runs Android Gingerbread (upgradeable to Android ICS), it’s only 7.1mm thin, it’s slash resistant, and features a 4.3 inch qHD Super AMOLED Advanced screen, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 8MP rear camera with 1080p video recording, and 16GB of on-board memory.

The Droid RAZR for Verizon is no doubt a beastly little phone.
There’s one thing to be said for the Droid RAZR’s design before all else: it’s crazy thin. Then there’s the matter of weight. The lightest gadgets are usually the cheaper gadgets, made of plastic and thus easily damaged. The Droid RAZR teeters on that line pretty nicely, but I have to admit that at times it felt a bit lighter than I wanted it to. Design-wise, I’m pretty much infatuated with the RAZR. Android devices tend to all blend in together, and when you venture deeper into the category of Motorola-branded Android devices it only gets worse. If anything shines on the Droid RAZR at first glance, it’s the screen.
