Motorola, Inc. has invited the world to experience the evolution of the RAZR brand as it unveiled RAZR(2), the ultimate iconic feature phone. Available July 2007 in several markets, the next-generation device packs cutting-edge features such as CrystalTalk technology, up to 2GB of on-board memory, Web browsing, real-time point-to-point video and ultra-fast menu navigation, all packed into a slimmer, stronger, sleeker design.
“With the modern style and powerful performance of RAZR(2), Motorola is once again redefining the cell phone,” said Ed Zander, Motorola’s chairman and chief executive officer.
“This device takes the world’s best-selling feature- phone to the next level. Combining groundbreaking new features and an even slimmer exterior than the original icon, the RAZR(2) is capable of giving consumers the ultimate mobile experience.”
Â
— Slimmer yet stunning
Â
Thin is (still) in — Motorola made the RAZR(2) profile even sharper, shaving two millimeters from the original RAZR.
Big is beautiful — Greatly enhanced dual screens give consumers the largest-in-its class 2.0″ external screen for crisp picture caller ID3 and readable texts(5,4) and a 2.2″ internal screen with twice the resolution of the original RAZR.
Materials matter — To further beautify this sought-after icon, Motorola incorporated a seamless casing, a soft touch back and a stunning vacuum metal front finish.
Â
— Stronger yet sleeker
Â
Strong as steel — At the core of RAZR(2) is a stainless steel internal frame to provide strength and durability.
Not even scratching the surface — The huge exterior lens is made with chemically hardened glass to be more scratch resistant.
An open and shut case — Motorola tested the cast aluminum hinge in more than 100,000 lab tests to help ensure that every time a customer flips open the device, it will work perfectly.
Â
— Smarter yet simpler

Going global, the RAZR(2) family’s three new handsets — V9 (3G HSDPA), V9m (EVDO CDMA) and V8 (GSM) — will be available to users of all three major technology networks.
Some versions of RAZR(2) will run Linux/Java, giving Motorola entry to the next generation of mobile architecture.
The RAZR(2) V8 has a completely redesigned User Interface (UI) so consumers can search contacts even faster. This eliminates duplicate entries for the same person while allowing contacts to have multiple numbers. The main menu is customizable, so consumers are never more than 2-3 clicks away from favorite applications, and even messaging is easier; RAZR(2) automatically recognizes what type of message consumers are sending.
With the new ARM 11 processor, processing speed is 10 times faster than the original RAZR and with high-speed USB 2.0 it only takes 2-3 seconds to transfer a song.
Motorola’s innovative CrystalTalk technology on the RAZR(2) automatically adjusts audio to ensure clear calls even in a noisy environment, while the RAZR(2) V8 “talks” to consumers by speaking the interactive menu, contact lists, emails and messages aloud — a feature developed for people with visual impairments, but convenient for in-car use or when you are on the go.
With up to 2GB of memory, the new RAZR(2) rocks with stereo Bluetooth wireless technology and enough storage for approximately 1,000 songs.
Debuting on the RAZR(2) family of devices, Motorola has incorporated Google’s powerful new mobile search experience, which helps users quickly and easily get the information they need, bringing them highly relevant results with an absolute minimum of clicks and enabling them to add frequently accessed content to their Google homepage.
 The multi-shot feature on the handset’s 2.0 megapixel camera automatically snaps up to eight new pictures so users can choose the best image from a complete series of pictures.
A new real-time point-to-point video feature allows another wireless customer to “See What I See” while a voice call is in progress. Consumers can also store up to 2 hours of video footage on the device.
Expected to launch in July, consumers can pre-order RAZR(2) at http://www.motorola.com and be among the first in the world to experience the next RAZR.
