The Series
Motorola Razr V3
The Motorola RAZR V3 was one of the most talked-about phones of 2004. The RAZR V3 was the original superslim phone, and is still a great-looking handset. The V3 has a basic camera, MP3 ringtones and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, but is missing more advanced features such as a music player, video camera and memory card. Still, it's available incredibly cheaply now, so if you want a basic phone that's slim and good-looking, the RAZR is still a good bet
Motorola Razr2
The latest series comes in two flavors, the V8 and V9. the Razr2 V8 still doesn't break out of that familiar Razr shell, but it scores points for beauty and a slimmer profile. Although the V8 is 2mm slimmer than the original Razr V3. The quadband Razr2 V8 runs on the new Linux/Java platfor
m similar to the ROKR Z6. According to Motorola, there are two versions of the Razr2 V8 worldwide. One is the 512MB (approximately 420MB are available to the user) version which we have right now for testing and the other is a 2GB model.
Motorola Razr-Maxx
The Razr Maxx Ve is different from most of its Razr family. The Razr Maxx Ve a slightly more durable feel in the hand. What's more, the bottom end has a more tapered design than that of previous Razrs. That makes the phone slip into a pocket or bag that much easier.
The Motorola RAZR MAXX is an eye catching clamshell 3G mobile phone which comes with the fastest & latest technologies. The handset comes in a hard metal casing & has chemically hardened glass displays which provides the user with a hard wearing handset. The handset is easy to open with its well designed clamshell opening system & comes with external controls & display.
