Over the last few weeks we have reported on some new Motorola devices ready to hit the market. One of the surprises has been the “budget phone” Motorola DROID RAZR M. At least, that is the name the device will go by in the U.S. Over in the UK, Motorola released the same device with an Intel Medfield chipset and a new name, the Motorola RAZRi.

Interested buyers can now get this Ice Cream Sandwich powered device from Phones4U for free, but you will have to sign up for at least a two year contract at £21.50 (about $35 USD) per month. To help entice early adopters, Phones4U is including a pair of MOTOROKR S305 wireless headphones to the first 500 people to place an online order.

Motorola RAZR HD and Maxx HD possibly delayed by external antenna issues

We all remember Antennagate: the loss of signal on the iPhone 4 caused by poor positioning of exterior antennae. It now it seems Motorola and Verizon’s latest flagship RAZRs are being held back because of a similar issue. According to a Howardforum post, “The signal drop is great enough to create a large amount of users to return the device“. This issue seems to be pretty severe, but hopefully is wont delay the highly anticipated phones for too long.

Unfortunately the post is pretty vague, only mentioning a “a huge problem with the external antenna’s that wrap around the device“, but hopefully Motorola will respond shortly as to either confirm or deny this rumor’s validity. This news only raises questions in my mind as to why this issue hasn’t been spotted on the Atrix HD and RAZR M?

Recently Motorola unveiled three new members of the RAZR family. The DROID RAZR HD and the DROID RAZR HD MAXX are nice editions, but it’s rare that the highlight of an event such as this would be the budget phone. The DROID RAZR M is much smaller than the original RAZR, but packs the same 4.3-inch display since it’s edge to edge. That’s not even the best part. The best part of it is that it’s priced at $99 on contract. Can the DROID RAZR M compete with the big boys? Hit the break to find out and you can also check out our initial hands on review.

Motorola has kept its promise and officially made the Droid RAZR M Developer Edition available to buy online. Unlike the original Droid RAZR M, the dev model features an unlocked bootloader, meaning custom ROMs and kernels can easily be loaded on the new hardware. You’ll still be getting the same specs however, including an “edge-to-edge” 4.3-inch qHD display, a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Be prepared to pay up, though, as the Droid RAZR M Developer Edition will set you back $549.99. Be sure to head to the source link below for the full list of deets.

DROID RAZR M unboxing and initial hands on review [Video]

Motorola is going after the budget market with the DROID RAZR M, but this isn’t a low-end phone. The highlight of this phone is that it features an edge to edge 4.3-inch display with barely any bezel. This means the phone itself is smaller, but still gives you decent screen real estate. Let me show you what I mean. The DROID X had the same display size, but the dimensions of the phone were 5.02-inches by 2.58-inches. The DROID RAZR M comes in at 4.82-inches by 2.04-inches, and it’s also 1.6mm thinner. Another example is the The DROID Incredible 4G LTE, which is the same size physical size as the RAZR M, but the display is only 4-inches.

The DROID RAZR M display happens to be qHD (960 x 540), which is a little bit of a bummer, but for $99 you can’t complain. The rest of the specs include a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, microSD for up to 32GB of additional storage, 8MP rear camera, VGA front-facing camera, NFC, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Motorola promised it will receive the Jelly Bean update by the end of the year.

Motorola Droid RAZR M to hit the UK with Intel chipset

While Motorola may have unveiled the Droid RAZR M earlier today in the Big Apple, it may not be the last time we see an announcement for the new hardware. A new report suggests Google-owned Motorola will be bringing the Droid RAZR M to the UK with a new chipset and a fresh name. A spokesperson at today’s event explained that despite the changes, “the form factor will remain the same.”

Motorola has already confirmed that it will be launching an Intel-powered smartphone on September 18th in London with an edge-to-edge display, which lines up nicely with the company’s statement. It seems more than likely that this is the handset in question, though it looks like we’ll have to wait a couple of weeks for an official announcement.

Motorola just announced the DROID RAZR M smartphone and we immediately got some hands-on time with it. As you can see, the device is incredibly compact while in hand, yet the display really pops out thanks to the enormous real-estate available on the phone’s 4.3-inch screen. Also highlighted is Motorola’s Quick Settings access function, which aims to simplify a user’s settings on the phone. The other highlight is Ice Cream Sandwich operating in smooth, buttery fashion that’s complimented with the now default Chrome Browser and Amazon apps pre-loaded. All of those features are literally crammed into a compact manner of Corning Glass and Kevlar goodness.
