Got a new DROID RAZR M BY MOTOROLA? Lucky you.

Now if you spend any time behind the wheel, you’ll want to invest $39.99 on a Vehicle Navigation Dock for DROID RAZR M.

While unlocking a bootloader isn’t for everyone, for some people, it’s a must-have.  Which is why we’re so happy to announce that a special Developer Edition of the DROID RAZR M is now available (or available for pre-order, depending on when this is posted). The device comes packed with all the same features and specs as the DROID RAZR M while also offering  the infinite customization possibilities offered by an unlockable bootloader.

Additionally, the DROID RAZR HD will also soon be available as a Developer Edition. For a full list of devices that come with an unlockable bootloader, check out the motorola.com/unlockbootloader page.  There, you’ll also find step-by-step instructions to unlock the bootloader on your device.  Contact @MotorolaSupport on Twitter, or the Owners’ Forum for questions you may have.

You should only unlock their bootloader only if you’re comfortable with the process and know exactly what you’re doing, since you will be voiding the warranty and risking data and functionality loss.
Make sure to pick up your Developer Edition of DROID RAZR M and tinker to your heart’s content!
