Sleeker Outside, More Powerful Inside, the Next Iconic Device Delivers the
Ultimate Mobile Experience
NEW YORK, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT)
today 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(TM)(1) technology, up to 2GB of on-board memory, Web
browsing(3), real-time point-to-point video(3) 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."
Slimmer yet stunning
-- Thin is (still) in -- Motorola made the RAZR(2) profile even sharper,
shaving two millimeters from the original RAZR. (4)
-- 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(4) 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.
Stronger yet sleeker
-- 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.
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.
-- Software smarts -- Some versions of RAZR(2) will run Linux/Java(TM)(5),
giving Motorola entry to the next generation of mobile architecture.
-- More intelligent interface -- 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.
-- Speed thrills -- With the new ARM 11 processor(1), 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.
-- Now hear this -- Motorola's innovative CrystalTalk(TM)(1) technology on
the RAZR(2) automatically adjusts audio to ensure clear calls even in a
noisy environment.
-- It answers back -- 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(6) or when you are on the go.
-- Tempting texts -- Without even opening the phone, RAZR(2) users can
rely on the large external screen to read messages and reply with pre-
programmed text messages(5).
-- Play on -- With up to 2GB of memory(4), the new RAZR(2) rocks with
stereo Bluetooth(R) wireless technology(7) and enough storage for
approximately 1,000 songs(8).
-- Manage with ease -- Microsoft Windows(R) Media Player 11 compatibility
helps consumers easily purchase, synchronize and transfer their music
library to their RAZR(2) in only a few minutes. In some models music
can be downloaded over the air at near-broadband-like wireless data
speeds.(4)
-- Good vibrations -- The external display incorporates Motorola's
breakthrough "haptics" technology, which provides users with vibrating
feedback in response to their finger taps. This, combined with the
virtual music keys, allows the user to effortlessly control their
music.
-- Just browsing -- The Web-browsing experience, including a full HTML
browser(1), in the new RAZR takes advantage of its stellar internal
display and high-speed wireless data connections for faster, bigger and
richer surfing. Built-in email functionality gives easy, PC-like
access to both personal and corporate email accounts(3).
-- Better mobile search -- Debuting on the RAZR(2) family of devices,
Motorola has incorporated Google's powerful new mobile search
experience(3), 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.
-- Picture this ... and this -- The multi-shot feature(5) 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.
-- Watch this, real-time -- A new real-time point-to-point video feature
allows another wireless customer to "See What I See"(9) while a voice
call is in progress. Consumers can also store up to 2 hours of
video(4) footage on the device.
