Five Best Exercise Headphones
The best headphones for sitting at your computer or in your home listening to music may not be the best headphones to put in your ears while you're jogging around town. Activity will make them fall out and noise isolation or closed ear models will make it hard to hear your surroundings, but you still want good audio quality for your money. We asked you for the best headphones for those workout sessions at the gym, and here are the five best, based on your nominations.

T-Mobile UK offering Motorola RAZR i for £149 on £10 PAYG plan
Moving up to a £20 plan gets you a Philips SBT300 Bluetooth speaker as well
T-Mobile U.K. is offering a pretty sweet deal on one of Motorola's headline devices for the end of 2012, the RAZR i, for just £149.99 on a PAYG plan. You can nab this device at the aforementioned price with any PAYG plan of £10 or more, which will get you 100 minutes, 400 texts and 1GB of data for the month. There are a couple more popular plans at the £15 and £25 levels with more minutes, texts and 2GB or 3GB of data as well. If you bump up to a monthly topup of at least £20, T-Mobile will also throw in a Phillips SBT300 Bluetooth speaker, which makes the deal even sweeter.
Considering that the original PAYG price for the RAZR i hovered somewhere around £300 for most of its life, this is a pretty great deal if you're looking for a good device on a budget. The device seems to have just sold out on the T-Mobile U.K. website (at least at the moment), but you may still have a shot at picking one up from a local store.

This week’s sidebar poll: Are you waiting for Motorola before you buy a new phone this year?
With 2013 half over, is anyone still waiting for Motorola?
I was talking with Ben, a good friend and fellow Android nerd, the other night, and we the topic shifted to Motorola. Specifically, how we haven't seen or heard anything from them yet this year, and we're already halfway through. And that has to be making fans of Motorola and their incredible phone hardware a little antsy.
As Ben rightfully pointed out, it doesn't mean the same thing to us here at AC as it does to most folks. We go through phones pretty quickly around these parts, and we'll have a chance to use them all. But, if that weren't the case, I think I would have held off and waited to see what Motorola has to show us.
Don't get me wrong. I think HTC and Samsung, as well as folks like Sony and Huawei have pushed out some very nice gear. Maybe even far better than anything we'll see from Motorola. But part of me has this gut-feeling that Google and Moto have something big in store, and it would be worthwhile to see what it is if I were only planning on one smartphone purchase. Maybe it's spectacular hardware. Or spectacular pricing. Or both -- or neither. I just think it's something worth waiting for.
So what about you folks? Any of you guys hanging in there waiting to see what Motorola brings to the dance in 2013? Hit the break, or the sidebar to the right, and answer in the poll. Be sure to use the comments to tell us why you voted the way you did.

Droid RAZR M, RAZR HD get blue paint job
Mid-range and high-end RAZRs now available in new color option
Verizon Wireless has debuted a new color option for its Motorola Droid RAZR M and RAZR HD today. Both devices get an extra splash of color, with a new blue variant going on sale alongside the existing back and white models. You'll have to look closely to spot the changes to the RAZR HD, however, as only the power button and metallic trim have been colored.
Unfortunately it looks like there's no blue RAZR MAXX HD -- that phone is still only available in black.
The Droid RAZR M is currently free with a two-year plan, or $549.99 to buy on its own, while the RAZR HD is $99 on-contract or $599.99 outright. Check 'em out at the link below.

Five Best Android Phones: 2013 Edition
There are so many Android phones on the market that choosing the best one can mean a ton of research, price-checking, and waiting to see what's coming out in the next few weeks or months. Some are exclusive to specific carriers, some run stock Android, some are littered with bloatware but have powerful features. This week we wanted to know which you thought were the best of breed, not just because they round out a checklist of features or high-end hardware, but because you think they offer a great overall experience. Here's a look at the top five Android phones, based on your nominations.
