Here's a live blog for anyone that's interested.

They already announced MotoACTV, it's a new device that tracks your workouts, stores music, serves as a watch, has a built in heart rate monitor, and even allows you to make phone calls with a bluetooth headset.

Droid RAZR
Stainless steel, Gorilla Glass, Kevlar, 1.2GHz processor, 1Gb RAM, 4.3 inch display, 8MP camera, and extended battery life on this thing. Looking good.

I see it has motoblur installed.
Fuck it.

It looks like they had the "business" user in mind when launching the RAZR, especially with all the accessories you can buy for it.

Big Red, you dirty dog!

It was inevitable that the question is the bootloader locked? would pop up within minutes of Moto's RAZR announcement. The answer should come as a shocker to no one: Yes. According to Moto's Twitter, the bootloader will indeed be locked. It's not necessarily Motorola's choice, though, as the tweet specifically states that "the bootloader was locked per the carrier" Oh snap -- it was all Verizon's fault.

What does this mean for future Big Red devices? Who knows -- perhaps they'll be putting the smack down on manufactures moving forward. Then again, that statement may be Moto trying to dodge a few bullets. I guess only time will tell.

So, are they like bringing back the RAZR, except making it cooler?

I remember when those things were popular. They were pretty expensive and everyone had to have it. Then phone technology advanced, and they ended up becoming a free upgrade phone.

Yes that are but it's not a flip phone, it's a touch screen phone on the android platform.

That watch is pretty cool... would be nice to be able to write programs for it.

I am pretty sure I will be moving carriers for this phone.

I want to see what the Galaxy Nexus actually comes with spec wise before I make my decision.

God creates Google,

Google creates Android,

Android take over the world,

Google buys Motorola,

...this is going to be a bucket of win.

I've always wondered how Apple is going to damage control the added agility of all these anti-nazi organizations that throw new tech into their phones. There is no possible way for Apple to keep up, not with their tiny engineering team and release cycle.

I'll be honest, after having an Android based phone, I can't see myself ever going to Apple for a phone.
