Last week we heard about a new variant on the Motorola Droid RAZR that was set to arrive, and this time not just one with a larger battery. We learned that Verizon was going to start selling limited edition versions of the phone , both the original and the RAZR Maxx, as part of a numbered series and featuring a nice-looking red pattern on the phone’s rear.
The chipmakers at Qualcomm have today let loose information on their fifth generation of Gobi reference platforms, complete with support for high-speed networks like LTE.

Verizon’s in a good mood for some reason. Perhaps it’s due to the fact that they just finished one of their best quarters ever last year.
If a new smartphone is in your near future, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a screaming good deal on one. Not only does Amazon drop prices the minute new phones are released, but even Verizon is doing their best to get in on the low-pricing scheme.
