We have been live blogging the event this morning and Motorola have just posted up the official press release and specs for the device. It is basically the RAZR M with Intel insides. But it is jolly nice looking, shame they couldn’t get Jelly Bean on it. Strange that, especially when Google OWN Motorola..
Anyways, here’s all the details live from London.
Motorola RAZR i: The Full-Screen Phone
Introducing the powerful new Motorola RAZR i with Intel Inside®. With power, speed, and an edge-to-edge display, in an impossibly compact design, it’s everything you want in the palm of your hand.
Intel Inside® boosts the performance of your browser, Google Apps™ and camera while delivering great battery life. Motorola RAZR i’s instant-launch 8-megapixel camera can capture 10 pictures in less than a second – making sure you never miss a moment. Stay mobile for longer with its impressive up to 20 hours of mixed usage time1 and maximize every last ounce of power with Motorola’s unique SMARTACTIONS™ app. And because RAZR i is part of the Motorola RAZR family, it’s built with premium protective materials like Corning® Gorilla® Glass, DuPont™ KEVLAR® fibre2 and a splash-guard coating, which protects even the electrical boards inside.

Can someone explain edge to edge, since I can see space at the edges?
I liked the look of this, thin, light, powerful, then you get to the screen. 4.3″ and only 540×960, very poor. In this day and age you need 720p resolution in a screen this size to compete. Sony are making 3.7″ screens with this resolution.
Apple fanbois will have a field day with this, Motorola are making a big thing about a bigger screen in the same sized chassis, well thats as maybe but bigger isn’t better if the resolution is less.
LTE is no biggie to miss at this time in the UK, what with just EE having it.
