Sure, you've had the oppertunity to get a Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX for Verizon from Amazon for just $199.99 since January. But what if for some reason you simply don't want to purchase it from the well known online retailer? What if you absolutely must get it from Verizon itself?

Well then, good news for you personally. Big Red(Verizon Wireless) has decided to cut the purchasing price of the DROID RAZR MAXX by $100 too, now finally matching Amazon's pricing. So yes, $199.99 is perhaps not you'll need to pay. You will need to pay the newly added $30 upgrade charge. Provided you agree to signing a brand new two-year contract, needless to say.

If you value life of the battery above the rest in a smartphone (including timely software updates), don't mind Verizon as the carrier, and would like to get a pretty high-end device too - the RAZR MAXX is it. It's the only it, actually, at this moment. And hopefully it's going to signify the start of a trend (of phone makers putting more focus on battery capacity), and won't be relegated to the history books as merely another niche offering. We'll see.
