Product Detail

	DESIGN: THINNEST SMARTPHONE DROID RAZR is so thin, it makes microchips feel flabby. The thinnest smartphone, it can get you out of the tightest of situations while letting you keep your cool. CONSTRUCTION: DROID STRONG, RAZR SHARP DROID RAZR proves that thin no longer equals frail. It’s made strong with KEVLAR® fiber, while Corning® Gorilla® Glass defends the screen against scrapes and scratches. A force field of water-repellent nanoparticles shields the phone against water attacks — even the electrical boards inside. NETWORK SPEED: DOMINATE AT WARP SPEED Unleash the fierce power of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, piloted by a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor. Blast your music and check the score, while email reloads — all at the same time, without delay. The 1 GB of RAM keeps you rocketing through. MOTOCAST™: INFINITE ACCESS TO LIMITLESS LIBRARIES The free MotoCast app from Motorola lets DROID RAZR stream your music, pictures and documents from your home or work computers — virtually anytime, anywhere — so your content is always within reach. No uploading to a third party means no wasted time, and everything stays protected, right on your computer. DISPLAY: OBLITERATE VISUAL BOREDOM Take your eyes to a new plane of reality with the cutting-edge visuals of DROID RAZR. A 4.3” Super AMOLED Advanced display dishes out hyper-vibrant colors and smooth action, so on-the-go movies and TV shows are never a blur, whether you stream from Netflix1 or download from Android Market™ DUAL CAMERAS: LIFE HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER Create some cinematic awesomeness of your own with an 8MP rear camera and 1080p HD video recording. Ready for all conditions, DROID RAZR has image stabilization technology for less blurry video. SMART ACTIONS: UNLOAD YOUR WORKLOAD DROID RAZR is ready to do your bidding. Always kill the ringer at work? Or tweak your Bluetooth® settings at home to save battery? The Smart Actions app understands. It exterminates the mundane tasks from your to-do list, so you’re free to focus on otherworldly pursuits. WEBTOP: COMMAND MORE Connect your DROID RAZR to a webtop-enabled accessory (sold separately) and instantly, our revolutionary webtop app displays your phone’s interface on a monitor or HDTV. Whip through documents and the web on a full Firefox® browser, make a call, send a text — all at the same time, while the phone charges. SECURITY: YOUR SECRETS ARE SAFE DROID RAZR may know a lot about you, but it also knows how to keep a secret. Government-grade encryption protects your email, contacts and calendar, so you can feel secure knowing your data — and your company's data — is secure.

Ok the issue here is the Razr has a non-removable battery so how can it have an extended battery.


The other issues you will run into is that we are on cdma and lte so why pay 800 plus for a phone that would not be able to work on our network. As the holidays are approaching and hot electronics are being released be very careful where you order online.

May just have to bump it every now and then so people can see it

Sticky?

 

[SFGate]

Please sticky this. Never would have noticed these points. Guess it is best to avoid online purchases if one is not that knowledgeable.

 

[dezymond]

Site doesn't seem that legit either lol

 

[MissionImprobable]

Yeah, but when people are looking, especially for the holidays, sometimes all they need to see is "in stock" and any site will do.

 

[techyholic]

Thanks for the heads up, this is very helpful especially holidays is coming. Many imitation and on line scams are just waiting for someone to be their victim. More info please
