The Motorola RAZR 2
Motorola has today officially unveiled the successor to one of the most iconic mobiles ever made, the RAZR 2. Available in 3.6Mbps HSDPA, EV-DO, and GSM / EDGE variants as the V9, V9m, and V8 respectively, the device comes in 2 millimeters slimmer than its predecessor and -- on some versions, anyway -- will be the second to use Motorola's new Linux-based platform (the first being the Z6). It includes something Moto is calling "Crystal Talk" technology that automatically adjusts volume and tone based on ambient noise. Other features include external music controls, haptics for tactile feedback when keys are pressed, a full HTML browser, 2 megapixel cam, the full suite of Bluetooth profiles, Windows Media Player synchronization, a 2-inch external display, and twice the screen resolution of the original RAZR. GSM versions start shipping in early July, with CDMA following up later in the summer.
















Now if the RAZR 2 had Windows Mobile on it....
That's one thing I miss, a MPx200-like smartphone....small, flip....
Ideal for those who really don't text/email so much but still like the capability of "seeing" their email and sync'ing contacts over the air via ActiveSync.
I have the Motorola Q now, great phone.....still a little too big though for what I need it for.
The Motorola RAZR is really quite a good choice. I have been using it for several years and I have only good impression of using it. Especially when using "sonomobile" appilcation installed on it, that allows integrate content of mobile phone with web part(internet server).

Looks absolutely beautiful....but the picture quality is not good.
I was quite disapointed. I have to be honest.

This was the biggest disappointment and biggest waste of money. I hate this phone with all my being. The original Razr was awesome, but this one just sucks.
I've been using a Linux Motorola phone for a year now. I have a build of mplayer on it and that's honestly the best thing about the phone. the fact it plays xvid 320x240@30fps. i use my v3xx for everything else (3G and dialpad rather than touchscreen). it's like mixing my two phones into one package. sweet!
@ shortfuse - that's the versatility that i look for in a phone. sounds like you have a cool setup. mPlayer is beauty.
This looks like a cool step in the right direction. wonder how much it will cost... 499 for a 20 gig version, 599 for... okay, joking.
And the dead horse is rolling into Motorola headquarters... BAI GAWD!! ED ZANDER IS BEATING IT WITH A BAG PHONE!! HAS HE NO SOUL????
are we getting it in the US?
thank
This reminds me of that South Park episode where they say "shit" 100+ times. Remember in the TV execs meeting where the new idea is to say "shit" twice on HBC?
Lame...
This is such a cool phone! Does anybody know what company in the US is getting this phone (verizon wireless, sprint, t mobile, cingular?) and when? and how much it will cost? If you have any information.. let me know!
A Verizon branded V9m prototype was for sale on Craigslist last week, so that carrier is all but assured. The V9 will have UMTS850/1900, and there's only one big carrier using that one, AT&T. The V8 is for carriers without 3G, so that one might be heading to T-Mobile.
But that's speculation.
