Motorola DROID RAZR Reviews

Phandroid
"The Motorola DROID RAZR is the latest smartphone by the manufacturer for Verizon. Borrowing its name from the iconic feature phone series, the DROID RAZR revisits old roots while still enjoying new ones."
CNET
"With its razor-thin design, jam-packed features, and blazing speed, the Motorola Droid Razr is easily one of the year's top Android smartphones."
Engadget
The RAZR brand has a long and storied history, starting in the halcyon days of 2004. Back then it was a premium line -- set apart from the crowd by its extremely thin profile and aluminum construction.
The Verge
"The Droid RAZR is one of those rare phones that qualifies as a leap forward in hardware design and engineering."
Android Central
"Yet another "best-of" phone for Verizon. But the Droid RAZR's size could be a bit much for some, and we've got real concerns about not being able to swap out the battery for a fresh one when needed."
Android Community
"This month will mark the release of both Motorola and Verizon’s new flagship device, the DROID RAZR, and what we’ve got here is a full review of this device, complete with the whole explosive handful of features and accessories."
BGR
The Motorola DROID RAZR is arguably the most exciting Android device to come across my desk in some time, but all the hype in the world doesn’t necessarily mean it deserves to carry the iconic RAZR name.
Slash Gear
"Motorola’s DROID RAZR has a lot to live up to – and a clear warning around how to drop the ball in mobile strategy."
Geek
"So now, the hope is that by combining old school design concepts and new smartphone tech, the Motorola Droid RAZR will become the smartphone to buy this holiday season."
Tech Crunch
"The Droid RAZR has been one highly anticipated phone, but can its performance keep up with the hype?"
Gizmodo
"A month and a half goes by and here comes Droid RAZR, which is similar to the Bionic, but better in virtually every way."
Laptop Mag
"The Motorola Droid RAZR is the slimmest smartphone yet, and it offers a gorgeous Super AMOLED screen along with screaming 4G speeds."
Phone Arena
"Combining two of the most memorable brand names in phone history, the Motorola DROID RAZR is bent on establishing itself as the poster child of tomorrow's next-generation Android smartphone selection."
