Motorola DROID RAZR officially up for pre-order at Verizon

Soon as Motorola ended their presentation that showed off the new DROID RAZR, the countdown began to the day in which the flagship smartphone could be had and today we are all one step closer as Verizon has begun taking pre-orders.

You have probably heard all that there is to hear about the Motorola DROID RAZR by now. It has a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display and is powered by a zippy 1.2GHz dual-core processor as well as 1GB of RAM. The back of the DROID RAZR houses an 8 megapixel camera that can record video in full 1080p HD. Around the front side of the smartphone is a 1.3 megapixel shooter to help you in all of your video chatting needs over Verizon’s impressively fast 4G LTE network.

The back of the DROID RAZR is made of Kevlar and the front has a splash-guard screen that is also made of gorilla glass. The body of the device is made out of stainless steel core which will make this device feel quite solid to hold. The RAZR moniker is a very fitting one as Motorola claims it is the thinnest smartphone in the world, measuring at only 7.1mm. However, the trade off to the ultra-slim body is a sealed battery that cannot be removed by the user.

While this handset is shipping with Android Gingerbread on-board, Motorola made it clear that it will update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in the near future. They are promising some extravagant battery life so if their claims of 12.5 hours of talk time are anywhere close to being accurate then this device is truly the total package. Hurry on over to Verizon before the pre-orders are gone. You can pick yourself up a Motorola DROID RAZR for the price of $299.99 with a two-year agreement.
