DAMN THE RAZR, I AINT HERD ABOUT THAT IN WHILE The Motorola Droid Razr ($300) sports a shockingly-thin 7.1 mm thin body, and boasts a Kevlar build and Gorilla Glass for added strength, and water repellent nanocoating all over — including the internal components — for protection against spills.

Available early next month.
