What's that? I can't hear you—speak up. Oh, you're the ear piece, I see. Well, I'm sorry, you're going to have to come out too.

No leopard print on this ribbon cable, but that's ok. It's just the main speaker.

For those itching to reveal their love of Britney Spears new album or Justin Beiber's new hit solo, fret not, this tiny litte speaker packs enough power to resonate [tinny, muddled] music throughout the room.

Holy cannoli! Look at all 'em chips! To keep the design svelte, Motorola packed pretty much everything on one side of the mobo. Let's see what we're dealing with:

• Toshiba THGBM4G7D2GBAIE 16GB EMMC Flash Memory
• Samsung K3PE7E700M-XGC1 4Gb LPDDR2 RAM
• Qualcomm MDM6600 Dual-Mode Baseband/RF Transceiver
• Qualcomm PM8028 Power Management IC
• Avago ACPM-7868 Quad-Band Power Amplifier
• Motorola T6VP0XBG-0001 (believed to be the LCM 2.0 LTE baseband processor)
• Texas Instruments WL1285C Wilink 7 Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/GPS

So many chips…where's the dip?:

• Skyworks 77449 Power Amplifier Module for LTE/EUTRAN Bands XIII/XIV
• Toshiba Y9A0A111308LA Memory Stack
• ST Ericsson CPCAP 6556002
• Hynix H90H1GH51JMP (similar to other devices we've seen, this POP chip sits on top of the TI OMAP 4430 processor)
• Infineon 5726 SLU A1 H1118 3A126586
• Bosch 2133 C3H L1ABG accelerometer

And the back of the board? Even the PCB is stepped with a cavity to recess the flex wrap from back to front. Nothing spared in the pursuit of ultimate thinness.

Teardown update: We discovered some interesting chip changes inside a newer Droid Razr. They include:

SanDisk SDIN5C1-16G NAND flash that replaces the Toshiba THGBM4G7D2GBAIE unit

ELPIDA B8164B3PF-8D-F RAM takes place in the Samsung K3PE7E700M-XGC1 RAM location

Toshiba Y9AOA111418L8 replaces the Hynix H90H1GH51JMP chip that sits atop the TI OMAP 4430 processor

Motorola Droid RAZR Repairability Score: 4 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

• Once the battery and motherboard are within reach, replacement is easy—no soldering required.
• The "non-serviceable" back was a bit of a pain to remove.
• The front panel is adhered to the AMOLED display, so they must be replaced as one expensive unit.
• All plastic frames and casing proved to be incredibly tedious to remove, and felt like they would break at any moment.
• There are copious amounts of adhesive holding the phone together.
