RAZR-2: Atlast a successor to MotoRAZR !!

May 15th, 2007

Motorola has today officially unveiled the successor to one of the most iconic mobiles ever made, the RAZR 2. Proper sequel to the Motorola RAZR, one of the best-selling cellphones of all time.

Available in 3.6Mbps HSDPA, EV-DO, and GSM / EDGE variants as the V9, V9m, and V8 respectively, the GSM and CDMA versions of 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 (read: vibration) for tactile feedback when external touchscreen keys are pressed, a full HTML browser, 2 megapixel cam, the full suite of Bluetooth profiles, Windows Media Player sync, a 2-inch QVGA external display, 2.2-inch QVGA internal 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.
