When the Motorola Droid RAZR first arrived, it cut through the competition with the slimmest profile of any 4G smartphone ever designed. The technical specs and hardware on board also immediately compared it favorably to any and all other 4G competitors. As you can imagine, the price tag accompanying this powerful, super-skinny and alluring looking Kevlar and aluminum 4G smartphone running on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network was commensurate to its abilities and massive advertising campaign. But good news just arrived for those Motorola Droid RAZR shoppers with tight budgets.
The Motorola Droid RAZR recently received a retail price drop to $169 at select Verizon authorized retailers with a standard two-year activation and data plan, while still running on the Verizon Wireless LTE network which was independently tested as the fastest and most reliable in the United States. Independent reviewer of wireless systems RootMetrics tested all the four major LTE wireless systems in the US, and found the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network much faster and much more consistently delivering LTE speeds than the other three major 4G LTE networks.
