The Motorola RAZR is the GSM version of the DROID RAZR, which proved that the company can still make sexy handsets, since it came as the thinnest smartphone around if we don't count the camera part. Kevlar, steel and aluminum accents fuse to create a handset that is a worthy successor to the extremely popular RAZR line. Add a 4.3" qHD Super AMOLED Advanced screen and a powerful dual-core chipset, and the Motorola DROID RAZR has successfully taken the RAZR paradigm to the new Android smartphone realities.
