    Motorola announces the Moto Razr, coming to Verizon in November

    Motorola Droid RAZR unveiled: LTE, 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display, available November for $299
    http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/18/motorola-droid-razr-unveiled/
    As far as secrets go, this one was not well kept. After a series of leaks that treated us to early images of the device, Motorola finally spilled the LTE beans with a teaser page reveal just yesterday. Now, we have official confirmation that the itsy bitsy 4G Spyder's on its Big Red way. This newest addition to Verizon's Droid lineup boasts a Gorilla Glass coated, 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display -- a first for any mobile handset -- atop a dual-core 1.2GHz TI OMAP4430 processor. Although the RAZR may look like a Kevlar-wrapped, slightly warped Droid X with its 7.1mm skinny silhouette and familiar topside hump, the insides tell a different tale. Joining the list of well-heeled specs, are an 8 megapixel rear camera capable of 1080p HD video, 1GB RAM, 16GB of onboard storage with 16GB additional on the microSD card and an 1,800mAh battery. Moto's also included Lapdock 100 and 500 Pro compatibility, converting this latest red-eyed beastie into a power user's best friend. To help you squeeze the most productivity out of its 21st century RAZR, Moto's also thrown in what it's calling SmartActions software to manage your phone's battery life. These user-determined settings can be programmed to shut off Bluetooth when you return home or slow down the processor speed while you're on the phone -- whatever your energy needs, the company's intent you make the most of this handset. A new personal cloud feature comes bundled with the device, dubbed MotoCast. Video, photos, documents and music can be streamed from your laptop straight to the handheld. And for the IT departments of the world, the RAZR comes business ready with Citrix Receiver, Motorola Webtop and videoconferencing abilities. Of course, there are a slew of accessories you can pair up with that new Droid: two lapdocks, wireless keyboard options, HD docks and Bluetooth headsets. You can snatch up all the extra goods and, of course, that aluminum-accented smartphone on October 27th when Verizon begins accepting pre-orders. As for that hard street date, the network's being coy with a global release slated for November. Update: Motorola has also confirmed that the phone will be exclusive to Rogers in Canada, where it will simply be known as the Motorola RAZR. Still no word on an exact release date, but the phone is now available for pre-order at $150 on a three-year contract, and Motorola says it will launch "in time for the holidays." Unfortunately, Canadians will have to make do without LTE, as Rogers' version will only do HSPA up to 14.4Mbps.%Gallery-136854% %Gallery-136859%

        Remember when i said I didn't want to spend more than $200 on a phone? My company just started offering a $150 stipend for new phones for those of us who carry smartphones.

        Looks like I may be going with the Nexus Prime after all. Any thoughts from the event last night? It didn't seem like there were any major surprises.

        I'm also curious how long it will be before we see ICS on the Xoom and other tablets.

            ICS is going to be pretty damn awesome. I definitely want a Galaxy Nexus, but I'll probably have to hold off, I just hope the scene can port ICS to the Incredible while I wait.

                    ICS looks awesome, and the Galaxy Nexus looks even better, Hope it can make its way to sprint. if it does I'll be picking it up...

                        I'm definitely getting a Galaxy Nexus if it comes to Verizon.

                            Yeah, I agree. Though I would like to get official reviews/analysis of both the Galaxy Nexus and Droid Razr just compare and whatnot (battery life, camera, etc), but both sound awesome. I'm leaning towards ICS obviously, since it'll take Motorola at least 6 months to push out ICS to the Razr.

                            Plus there's the HTC Rezound (formerly HTC Vigor) that's been rumored to come out around now too... Good times to buy a phone!

                            It was hard keeping my OG Droid, but now I am soooooo glad not to have gotten a Bionic. I feel bad for people who just got one of those....

                                    I'm glad I held off on getting the Bionic as well. My phone is an LG Dare...I've been holding off for a while now. LOL.

                                                It already is.. Since the SII didn't come to Verizon, this was it's replacement..

                                                Samsung Galaxy Nexus leaks on official site, flashes Verizon affiliation
                                                http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/18/samsung-galaxy-nexus-leaks-on-official-site-flashes-verizon-aff/
                                                Guess what just showed up in searches on Samsung.com? That's right, the Galaxy Nexus. The official product page isn't live so there's not much to see beyond front, back, and side shots of the device. Wondering what happened to that Nexus Prime branding? Several readers have let us know searching for that also pulls up the same result on Samsung's suddenly leaky homepage. We've gotten familiar with the soft keys and rainbow background after many leaks, so check your local Verizon coverage map and come back here 'round 10PM ET for a big bite of Google's Ice Cream Sandwich.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

                                                            If it wasn't for ICS I think I would be strongly leaning towards getting the Razr. 8mp camera, HDMI port and Micro SDCard slot.
