Although there has been no word from Verizon news releases as to the exact release date for the Droid RAZR, last night a commercial began airing that shows 11/11/11. We can expect a spectacular marketing campaign and some freebies from DroidLanding on Twitter as well as the DrioidDoes website.
Shown below the YouTube video description of the latest Droid RAZR commercial is "The DROID RAZR by Motorola. Only at Verizon. Arriving 11.11.11. 11.11AM." A Droid RAZR slices through a street scene cutting signs, a parking meter and a lamp post (video appears below).
Verizon is currently taking preorders for Droid RAZR which showed that it would ship by November 10. Meanwhile, the DroidLanding Twitter account has been reactivated with clues posted every few hours. There may not be a physical Droid hunt this time the Twitter page warns "Be advised: missions involve no physical drop locations." We called one of the special numbers and there was a commando sounding voice that said "You know what to do."
