The Motorola Droid 3 just hit the shelves four days ago, but that didn’t stop the guys from iFixIt from doing what they do best: tearing out its inner bits and splaying them out for all to ogle.

Most gadget teardowns come with a surprise or two — an unused FM radio here, or an extra bit of untapped processor speed there. Alas, the Droid 3 is about as unsurprising as they come; outside of the addition of a SIM card slot (as the Droid 3 is a world phone) and keyboard keys that are said to “feel cheaper”, this thing’s insides are put together just like the Droid 1 and 2.
