(CNET) Say hello to the new Motorola Mobility.
Motorola, which struggled as a standalone company competing in the cutthroat smartphone business, gets a second chance under Google (GOOG), a parent with loads of cash and even more patience.

Today’s announcement of not one, but three different Droid Razr smartphones — Motorola’s first as a part of Google — represents the first steps in its new direction. The company today unveiled the Droid Razr HD, the extra battery-packing Droid Razr Maxx HD, and the compact Droid Razr M, all three going to Verizon Wireless.
