Motorola debuts Special Edition RAZR2 in US

Motorola has announced a special edition of the new RAZR2, available in limited quantities, in time to celebrate the U.S. holiday season in style. The signature RAZR2 form factor has been re-imagined and reconfigured in the most luxurious materials — bathed in gold and clothed in snake-like skin, and includes a full suite of features and accessories for conscious consumers seeking a glamorous design.

The special edition RAZR2 has an elegant 18K gold-plated showcase with a luminous, black slate, vacuum metal finish; a soft-touch back, embossed with a sensual snake skin texture; ultra-slim design at 12.05 mm; and luxurious details such as elegant pin stripes on the CLI lens, an engraved diamond-cut pattern on the sideband and a linear etching on the navigation wheel.

In-demand features include Motorola’s patented CrystalTalk Technology and quad-band technology to make calls clearer, no matter where you are in the world, by automatically adjusting the audio controls to account for background noise; a large, colour external display that provides touch-sensitive music controls, picture caller ID, album art, self-portrait camera display; Opera Mobile Browser 8.5 enables easy and intuitive web surfing; and a 2.0 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom records the moment with high resolution pictures and also provides up to 2 hours of video capture and playback.

As regards the music experience, the special edition RAZR2 V8 has up to 2GB of on-board storage for up to 1,000 songs; a powerhouse processor for fast over-the-air downloads; Windows Media Player 11 to enable access to over 200 online music stores; and a large external screen to manage music and read and respond to texts without opening the flip.

The RAZR2 V8 Luxury Edition is expected to be available beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007 in select regions.
