Is anyone willing to do a teardown on the XT910?

There's a lot of speculation in the community that the XT910 and the XT912 (DROID RAZR) have similar or identical hardware. If someone were willing to do a teardown, we could definitively answer that.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The only real hardware differences you'll find, probably, are all going to be connectivity related. The XT910 is the developer edition with an unlockable bootloader that supports quad band GSM and CDMA without LTE.

Unfortunately, as the ifixit teardown, that you helped write, of the XT912 shows, the Motorola developer pages are not the absolute source of truth as to the hardware contained within these devices.

If you were to believe the Motorola documents, the XT910 is GSM quad band and UMTS (W-CDMA) capable while the XT912 is CDMA and LTE capable. However, as shown by the teardown and Verizon's recent press release regarding the Android 4.0.4 update, the XT912 also has GSM quad band through a Gobi MDM6600.

So, the more specific question is, did Motorola do something smart and use the same Gobi card in all RAZR handsets? And, did Motorola also put the special LTE chipset on the XT910, or is that chip the only note-able difference in the hardware?
