I'll remember to bring it back from the 5th page at Noon.

 

[YuriLowell]

Droid Razer announcement.

 

[tino]

RAZR = Droid X 3

 

[DrFunk]

RAZR = Droid X 3

pretty much

 

[Pctx]

I feel like they should've delayed this announcement due to Apple's earnings call.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Ah brings back high school memories when the RAZR was hot shit.

 

[Pein]

no ICS would make this totally irrelevant. Who would bother getting a gingerbread phone on verizon when the prime is out.

Ah brings back high school memories when the RAZR was hot shit.

yep, razr used to be the ''it'' phone.

 

[brotkasten]

Here's the TIMN live blog for the event.

I don't get why they're doing an event for this. It's not like there are any surprises left and I doubt the press actually cares.

 

[blame space]

who's being sued by apple

CELL PHONES

I got my first razr in 7th grade when I was 13.

 

[HammerOfThor]

HAHA YEAH! That phone was the shit back in the day!! Then I got a Blackjack, then a BlackBerry(forgot which one), then Droid, now Droid X. Now that I think about it, its amazing how far phones have come in about 7 years.

 

[Jme]

I got my first razr in 7th grade when I was 13.

Fun fact, we're not all the same age as you so that means nothing to anyone but you. For all I know you are still a 13yo 7th grader.

 

[Pein]

lol, I'm 20 now so that was 7 years ago.

 

[kehs]

Twenty minutes guys


I hope TIMN and Engadget's servers can handle the load.

Who is skipping work/school for the event?

 

[R2D4]

I hope they call it the DRAZR

 

[andycapps]

This should be interesting

 

[Pyrokai]

I hope they call it the DRAZR

Holy shit. This was the name of my town in Animal Crossing, spelled Drazer. No joke.

 

[kehs]

What do you think guys, will they introduce some crazy like.....a built in switchblade?

 

[Amagon]

so google bought motorola

who is having a verizon "event"

before google has an "event" with samsung

who's being sued by apple

CELL PHONES

But who is phone?

 

[Oozer3993]

They'll also probably be introducing the Xoom 2 at this event.

 

[Sky Chief]

Pure speculation here but I think we will see a Xoom 2 here running ICS and then Nexus Prime tonight also running ICS.

 

[andycapps]

New flip phone.

 

[kehs]

New flip phone.

Flip phone that doubles as an electric razor?

actually, they're probably gonna show off their new docktop as well.

 

[Souldriver]

So many phone threads on the front page. Any reason why there's such a big amount of phone reveals/announcements now?

Nearing end of the year. Gotta get stuff to the masses before the new year begins

 

[Doopliss]

Holy shit. This was the name of my town in Animal Crossing, spelled Drazer. No joke.

Perhaps we can expect some sort of Wii Speak functionality built in? Friend codes required for all communications.

 

[specialguy]

Holy shit. This was the name of my town in Animal Crossing, spelled Drazer. No joke.

Wow. That's incredible.


...

 

[kehs]

Didn't this guy use to wear suits and shit?

Google hivemind.

edit: Erich Schmidt in the building? Bigger event than thought?

 

[andycapps]

Here we go. Flip phones with attached razors coming.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Ah brings back high school memories when the RAZR was hot shit.

Was it really though? I recall them being pretty easy to break too.

Two events in one day! Woohoo! Let's do it!

 

[The Faceless Master]

"Smartphones have become incredibly personal devices. 1 in 4 people told us they were more prepared to share their toothbrush than share a smartphone." The other three people were seemingly normal, we suppose.

[kehs]

what's a toothbrush after you've been rimmin each other all night?

But my apps....oh well no...not my apps.

 

[DrFunk]

"Motoactv"

gotta love moto's names

 

[planar1280]

holy shit they copied the NANO!

 

[andycapps]

12:04 pm "We can change way you work out. Introducing Moto Active."

Interesting.

Edit:Beaten.

 

[brotkasten]

Ahahaha .. ha. Ha.

I always wanted the ultimate fitness device from Motorola.

No ICS on the Activ, no sale buddy!

 

[Rur0ni]

Neat thing.

 

[tfur]

OMG little squares patented too?

 

[andycapps]

Okay Motorolla. How much? $99 and I'm in for this Christmas.

NM just saw the bluetooth headphones. Probably $150 or $200.

 

[Subliminal]

Is the activ a phone? or just a nano that I can buy without giving money to apple?

 

[Zozz]

Pretty cool stuff.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I was 6 when jurassic park came out. I'm still 6.

 

[crazy monkey]

sweat proof lol. I wish the phone was built in so we can talk while we walk in the bluetooth james bond style.

It's not a nano, it's the ultimate fitness device, okay?
