RAZR Fashion Mobile Phone Makes a Comeback

Motorola’s sales are slumping, so what to do but go back to their most successful model, the original RAZR. But they can’t just put the old model back on the shelves. Practically at least one of everyone’s friends owns or has owned one. Since 2004, when the first RAZR was introduced, over 100 million cell phone users have called themselves from one time or another a RAZR owner. Yesterday, Motorola did the next best thing and announced RAZR2. There will be at least three versions of the RAZR2 to debut simultaneously. The V8 is a GSM phone, the V9 is a 3G phone with HSDPA and the EvDo CDMA V9m. There are some differences between the V8 and V9 version. The V8 is the slimmer model and 2mm thinner than the current RAZR. Both models share the external 2-inch touchscreen (with haptic tactile feedback) display. The internal screen doubles the resolution of the external one. It’s only slightly bigger at 2.2 inches. The RAZR2 has a 2.0MP onboard camera – Motorola will be crossing its fingers that this will be enough megapixels for popular use. Overall, the RAZR2 is a better phone and MP3 player with an entirely new user interface. It’s supposed to be ten times faster than the old RAZR and screen resolution should also be many times brighter. Other good points include a stainless steel internal frame, hardened glass exterior, aluminum hinge is super durable so flip this phone with peace of mind it won’t break. Calling quality should also be much better. Pre-orders are available online at motorola.com. Source
