14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has just cut the price tag of its Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX smartphone by $100.
The carrier has been rumored recently to plan reducing the cost for this device, and it appears that it has done so today.
A banner on the main Verizon Wireless website shows the new offer, and clicking on it will get you to the phone’s webpage, which displays the same contract cost.
Also included in the deal is a Color app to enable DROID RAZR MAXX users to stay close to their friends and family at all times.
Apparently, Verizon is teaming up with Motorola, Color for Facebook and Saturday Night Live for delivering live backstage footage during the May 19th show. Those who would like to receive the footage would have to install the app on their phones and “like” Verizon or SNL on Facebook.
Launched on Big Red’s network this year, the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX features a 4.3” Super AMOLED Advanced touchscreen display capable of delivering a qHD resolution (960 x 540).
The handset packs a dual-core 1.2 GHz application processor complemented by 1 GB of LP DDR2 RAM and sports 16GB of internal memory, and a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of external storage space (a 16GB card pre-installed).
On the back, the mobile phone features an 8-megapixel photo snapper with support for HD video recording, complemented by a 1.3MP front camera for video calling.
The smartphone is powered by a 3300 mAH Li–Ion battery and features support for Verizon’s CDMA and LTE networks, as well as for WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity.
At the moment, the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX runs under Google’s Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) platform, but Verizon promised an update to the newer Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform for the near future.
Those who would like to purchase the smartphone at the reduced $199 price (with a two-year contract agreement) should head over to this page on Verizon’s website.
