Did any of you own a Motorola RAZR? I’m sure you did. Back in 2005 it was the coolest phone to own.

It was skinny. It was light. It had cool glowy blue buttons. It was on all the carriers. It was the phone to have. At least if you were a tech-crazed high schooler, like myself back then.

It seems that Motorola may not have done it again with the newest addition to the RAZR, but the new Motorola Droid RAZR, as it’s being dubbed, is still a really neat phone.

Sporting 4G, a 1.2 GhZ dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 32 GB of storage, 12.5 hours of talk time, an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p recording, a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display strengthened with Gorilla Glass and Kevlar fiber, and at only 7.1mm thick, the Droid RAZR is now the thinnest 4G phone on Verizon. And because of the kevlar, the phone will be protected against spills and other nasty accidents.

You know what else is made of kevlar? The Batsuit. I’m officially calling this one the Batphone. This thing is cool.

The phone will also be compatible with the rest of Motorola’s line of devices, including the Moto Webtop and the brand new MOTOACTIV, a pretty nifty fitness watch that was also announced today. Only downside to this phone seems to be that it’s running Gingerbread, and not the upcoming version of Android, dubbed Ice Cream Sandwich.

Motorola’s announcement comes just hours before Samsung announces their newest version of their Nexus line, which will be exclusive to Verizon AND will have Ice Cream Sandwich. So the Motorola Droid RAZR certainly has some competition.

You’ll be able to pick up your very own Batphone, I mean Motorola Droid RAZR, in early November exclusively for Verizon Wireless.

If you were carrying around an unreleased, brand-new version of an incredibly popular cell phone, wouldn’t you be a little more careful with it? That’s the question everyone was asking when Apple’s next version of the iPhone was found abandoned in a bar last month. Today, Gizmodo reports a similar scenario where the newest version of Motorola’s Android device, the Motorola Droid Shadow, was found and photographed at a Verizon corporate gym.

Before the phone was remotely locked, the Verizon employee who discovered the phone uncovered a text stating that the phone was most definitely “unreleased”, so we know this phone is a legit find. Exclusive to Verizon Wireless, the Motorola Droid Shadow will feature an 8 MP camera capable of shooting at 720p video, a 4.3 inch screen, and is expected to run Android’s newest software, Android Froyo.

The phone will also feature 16 GB of internal storage, a Snapdragon processor, and an HDMI out port, all confirmed by the Verizon employee who found the phone. The Motorola Droid Shadow will be out sometime in June or July.

If you’re anxious to get your hands on the Shadow, keep your eyes peeled because someone else might just casually leave one around for you to find. Or, you could always pick up HTC’s Droid Incredible or the original Motorola Droid, two awesome devices exclusive to the Verizon network.

If you were one of the many people waiting for Google’s Android powered Nexus One smartphone to hit Verizon so you could finally get your hands on one, you’re not going to be very happy after reading this post. Sadly, it seems, Verizon has decided to get out of the Nexus One business and instead, will stick with HTC and the pending release of the DROID Incredible.

While this move may not come as a surprise to some, particularly the folks over at Tech Crunch, it did seem to come out of left field a little. After all, up until the last few days, the release of the Nexus One was trumpeted as coming soon by Google at the site where they sell the phone. Now it directs potential customers back to Verizon’s website to buy a competing product in the Incredible? Again, seems a bit out of left field.

As highlighted over at Tech Crunch, it seems Verizon is choosing to offer the latest and greatest device to its customers and doesn’t seem to think the Nexus One is that device. When it came out, it was the best Android phone on the market. Then, Motorola released the DROID, which has reigned supreme. Now, the Incredible looks to be the top Android phone, at least for now.

Competition is a good thing and often leads to great innovations as companies strive to come to market with better and cheaper products. I the end we may not understand Verizon or Google’s reasons for making certain decisions, but in this case at least, it looks like Verizon’s decision will benefit consumers who want the best Android phone they can get.

Verizon Wireless is finally getting a smartphone equipped with Google’s Android software, in the form of the Motorola “DROID.”

The phone has 3.7″ WVGA capacitive display, sliding QWERTY keypad, 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and dual-LED flash, 720×480 video capture at 24 fps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Exchange support, 6.4 hours of talk time and a pre-installed 16GB memory card. The phone also the first device to feature Google Maps Navigation which provides free turn-by-turn voice navigation.

The “DROID” looks a lot like T-Mobile’s Android, but because it’s on Verizon and with an amazing new screen, this phone looks like a worthy addition to the smartphone game.

You can get your hands on the Motorola “DROID” on November 6th, for $199.99 with a two-year contract.
