Motorola is back with another Android smartphone for Verizon’s 4G LTE network. Adding another DROID to their ever-growing list of phones. Some might say they’ve released too many too fast lately on big red but the new RAZR MAXX is a bit special — and available today. This phone features a standard, built-in 3,300 mAh battery. Something no other LTE handset can even come close to touching. See more after the break.
While Verizon and Motorola assure us that the back of the DROID RAZR by Motorola is not meant to be removed and that the battery is certainly not meant to be replaceable, the folks at iFixit never ever take no for an answer, starting their traditional teardown process with no less than the traditional Japanese saw known as the Dozuki. Of course there was no real need for this since there actually is a fingernail hole at the top of the device and snaps all around the edges that a non-terrifying instrument like your finger could work apart, but the glue between the battery and the back will make for a more difficult take-apart process for you. Then take note of the Kevlar, and be sure to remember that Kevlar in this state is both flexible and definitely not bulletproof - iFixit reminds us that bulletproof Kevlar is actually layers and layers of similar material backed up with a ceramic plate -- in other words, no bullets please!

Motorola’s DROID RAZR has a lot to live up to – and a clear warning around how to drop the ball in mobile strategy. Named after the slimline clamshell handset that changed Motorola’s fortunes in 2004, this new dual-core Android promises to be the world’s thinnest smartphone with power and performance to match. Thing is, Motorola quickly milked the original RAZR to death, pushing out special edition variant after variant while the market left its underwhelming specifications behind. Is this new DROID worthy of the RAZR name? Read on for the full SlashGear review.
Believe it or not, all you lovers of both hacking of Androids and updating of Androids, Motorola has today offered clarification of its future with unlockable bootloaders and updates for its products to no less than Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It is Motorola itself that today speaks to the world saying that “without a doubt” the two “hottest topics in [their] world right now” are Ice Cream Sandwich and bootloaders. Imagine that! Having just spoken with Sanjay Jha this past week, I can tell you firsthand that it wasn’t the first (and it certainly wasn’t the last) time he’d spoken with someone about Motorola’s bootloaders and their unlockability as a hot topic.
We already know enough about the Motorola RAZR Android smartphone to be able to figure out the thing is pretty darn cool. We had hoped it would land running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich right out of the box, but that didn’t work out. If you are wondering, when exactly the Android 4.0 update would come to the smartphone Motorola has now offered up that detail.

Earlier today we were given a few more clues as to what we’ll be seeing at the big Motorola news conference tomorrow in New York City – a device by the name of DROID RAZR now seems rather likely, a new crowned king of Verizon LTE devices, soon to be in our hands. But what have we gathered as far as specifications go? How big is the display, what’s going on with the camera, and what sort of processor is inside? And most importantly, will the full package equal a device that’s going to entice those who also have had the choice of picking up a dual-core smartphone from Motorola since early this year with the original Atrix, the USA’s first dual-core smartphone?
We're less than a day away from a Motorola event taking place in New York City that'll be the place where the newest handset from the manufacturer will be revealed. What we know at the moment is limited, but given the brand new teaser site released today, we're getting a pretty clear idea of what it COULD mean to see this next generation "Faster. Thinner. Smarter. Stronger" device. The first clue is a square image that shows off two bits of information - one, that the back or side of the device will be rounded ever so slightly - two, that the back of the device will have a rather nice hump on it - is it on the top or is it on the bottom?
