Droid Razr: Stunning, slim phone, but battery lacks

In the 2000's, one of the most popular phones had to be Motorola's flip phone, the Razr, but consumers quickly forgot about it as the smartphone market took off. It's back! The Droid Razr is an incredibly thin (just 0.28 inches thick!) new smartphone that runs on Verizon's superfast 4G LTE network. With a a stunning 4.3-inch touchscreen and Kevlar fiber on the back, The Droid Razr is $300 with a two-year contract agreement from Verizon and will be available Friday. Apparently, in its battery test, the Razr had mixed results. It only lasted 3 hours on a continuous video streaming test, but lasted from morning until early evening for texting, calling, app downloading and casual Web browsing. Furthermore, the battery is irremovable which might deter some people. Personally, I think the battery life will be just fine. Plenty of people said the HTC Thunderbolt's battery life was horrible and my fiance's last all day. You really just have to know how to extend the life of the battery; by turning off functions that aren't really needed, turning the brightness of your screen down, and having an app killer, you can make any phone last longer! I can't wait for this phone to come out!
