DROID RAZR

Time for a new smartphone? Head on over to Best Buy, where – for a limited time – you can save $50 on select Motorola smartphones across all major carries (Verizon Wireless, Sprint, AT&T) just by trading in your old mobile phone. In addition, you can get up to $200 in trade-in value (in the form of a Best Buy gift card). The offer is valid now through May 5, 2012 at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores (in store only).

This offer to save $50 is available on three Motorola smartphones:

• Motorola Atrix 2 (4G speeds) Mobile Phone - (AT&T)
• Motorola Photon 4G Mobile Phone - (Sprint)
• DROID RAZR by Motorola 4G LTE Mobile Phone with 16GB Memory - (Verizon Wireless)

The Motorola DROID RAZR is being touted as the latest flagship phone from Verizon, and for good reason. The company is claiming that it is the thinnest smartphone to date, and we can't argue with that. This thing is wafer-thin, but that does not slow down its performance or features. In fact, this sucker is very robust, durable and just plain cool.

The DROID RAZR is a descendant from the RAZR family introduced back in 2004. But this ain't your grandmother's phone. It runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with lightning speed, has a very good battery life, and if you drop it, the Kevlar back panel will protect its internals.

Star Rating:
Cost: $111 to $299 on contract
