Motorola RAZR (pronounced "razor", IPA:/ɹeɪzə(ɹ)/) is a thin clamshell mobile/cellular camera phone designed and manufactured by Motorola. The phone was initially regarded as an exclusive fashion phone,[1] with a high price of $500 with service agreement and $800 without. However, in 2005 the phone entered the mass-market as a mid-priced phone.

As of September 2006, the phone was available in the UK from £70 from Tesco, in Australia for $200 from Optus and Telstra, in Mexico for MXN$2,399 from Telcel, in Canada for $449.99 (49.99 with a 3-year contract),in Ireland for €149.99 from Lidl and can be obtained free in the United States after rebate (from T-Mobile and Cingular Wireless, the original US carrier for the RAZR), making it an upper-end budget phone. In 2005, PC World put the RAZR at #12 in The 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years.[2]

History

Product development began in July 2003[3] with sales starting the following year. By July 2005, Motorola reported to analysts that the RAZR V3 was the most popular clamshell, something that it owes almost entirely to its distinctive looks and small size.

Motorola released a CDMA version of the RAZR for Verizon Wireless, US Cellular, and ALLTEL on November 21, 2005, called the RAZR V3c. The V3c was adopted by Canadian carriers Bell Mobility and TELUS Mobility in February 2006. Changes in the CDMA version include a slightly thicker form factor (primarily due to a "bulge" around the camera lens), more internal memory (30 MB), a higher resolution 1.3 megapixel camera, and CDMA20001xEV-DO support. However, the V3c only supports 16-bit color, and its weight has increased from 95g to 99g.

Motorola announced the V1150, which was renamed as the RAZR V3x, a 3G phone with two cameras and support for microSD memory cards. Motorola has confirmed that the phone is not intended as the successor to the RAZR, and that "RAZR V3x" is simply a new name for the existing V1150. It has also been confirmed that the phone will be released in Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand — but not the US.

On March 10, 2006, the companies Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile USA temporarily stopped selling the RAZR, due to a technical glitch that caused the phone to drop calls or shut down. The glitch was reportedly resolved two months later.[4]

On July 18, 2006 Motorola announced it had shipped the 50 millionth RAZR, making it the most popular cell phone of any kind.[5]

On October 3, 2006, Sprint announced that they are going to start selling RAZR's, along with the SLVR and the new KRZR.[6]

Modding

As a result of the overwhelming popularity of the RAZR, the modding community has been phenomenally successful in cracking the phones' underlying structures and developing "mods" that users can implement on their own handsets.

By modding the V3 RAZR it is possible to unlock special features not available on the stock phone. The most common mods include adding video recording support, uploading Java games from a PC, changing the HI image on the outer LCD screen (the "cl.gif", which normally displays the carrier's logo), getting rid of the service provider lock, getting rid of the date and time display on the main menu screen, adding new "skins", altering the text and menu items, and much more.

The V3c, on the Verizon Wireless network, has a unique Verizon-designed GUI, which is the case with nearly all Verizon Wireless phones, which is more cumbersome than the standard Motorola GUI. Many of the phone's features are also crippled. Wired News suggested this was done intentionally so that users of the phone would have to pay data rate charges to send images and other files over the network instead of just using a USB cable connected to their computer.[7] Through modding, the Verizon interface can be replaced by ALLTEL's, giving it the original Motorola user interface, a faster button response time, and a few additional features. Another mod for the Verizon RAZR's is called tethering, in which the phone acts like a modem for a computer, letting the computer go online through Verizon's broadband network and it only costs minutes, not cell phone internet fees.

On later October 2006, Sprint released their carrier branded version of the RAZR V3m. The Sprint version has all functions enabled that were crippled in the release by Verizon, and it uses a Sprint designed GUI that is regarded as a more efficient implementation than that of Verizon.[8]

2G Models

V3

The original RAZR V3 GPRS phone is carried by Cingular, Cincinnati Bell, T-Mobile, and Centennial Wireless in the USA, Rogers Wireless and Fido in Canada, Telcel in Mexico, Optus and Telstra in Australia, Vodafone in New Zealand and Australia, Oi, TIM in Brazil and by many companies in other countries.

Matte Black version

A black version was produced for distribution in the 77th Academy Awards gift bags,[9] and was released in early May 2005. As of September 2005, the black version is available in the USA only from Cingular, Canada only from Fido Solutions or Rogers Wireless and in many other countries from Movistar and Claro (Telcel).

The black V3 is the standard version of the phone in the United Kingdom and Peru so it does not have many of the features of the more advanced RAZRs like a video recording capability.

Hot Pink versions

The first pink version was released in October 2005, and as of June 2006, is available in the USA from T-Mobile (as RAZR V3 Magenta, after the T-Mobile—and its parent, Deutsche Telekom's—corporate color, but called RAZR V3 Pink in other countries, including other T-Mobile networks), Verizon and Cingular Wireless (each in a different shade, currently exclusive to the US). It is available in Canada from Bell, Rogers Wireless and Telus, and in the United Kingdom from T-Mobile and the Carphone Warehouse. $25 of sales from the Rogers pink V3 go to Rethink Breast Cancer. It is also available in all Movistar-serviced countries and Claro (Telcel).

Blue version

The blue version was released in the United Kingdom. It is called the RAZR V3 Light Blue but it is actually mostly silver with a light shade of blue. It is available from T-Mobile in the UK and Movistar in Peru. A darker "Cosmic Blue" Version is also available from Rogers Wireless in Canada, and Virgin Mobile in the United Kingdom. Now Cincinnati Bell, a local wireless service provider in Cincinnati, offers a navy blue RAZR V3. As of June 2006, Cingular also offers a model which is blue on the exterior with silver interior (i.e. when phone is open, exposed surfaces are silver). As of July 2006, Australian Telecommunications giant Telstra is offering the V3x Blue (as well as Pink) version for $0 upfront on a $20 plan.

The dark blue version available from Tesco in the UK is a V3r with no memory slot or iTunes, (and more difficult to unlock).

Miami Ink Collection

As of October 30, 2006 through T-Mobile in the United States, Motorola offered a version with laser-etched tattoo-inspired designs created by Ami James of the TLC reality television show, Miami Ink.[10]

The successor to the RAZR is the RAZR V3i. It addresses some of the faults of the original RAZR V3 including a better (1.23 megapixel) camera with 8x digital zoom, an improved external display and support for up to 1 GB of microSD cards. The V3i comes in two versions: one with iTunes and one with Motorola's Digital Audio Player (DAP).[11] The iTunes version of the phone has a 50 or 100 song limit restriction ("cap") depending on where the phone model was made.[12] The Motorola DAP does not suffer from this cap; however, it takes considerably longer time to load and uses the V3's battery at a much faster rate than iTunes does[citation needed]. The phone's looks have also been subtly changed. It was announced on December 8, 2005 that Motorola had teamed up with Dolce & Gabbana to produce a Special Edition Gold RAZR V3i. Only 1000 of these have been made and sold for a premium price. Many of them can now be seen on eBay. On June 1, 2006, Motorola and Dolce & Gabbana once again released their limited edition gold phone. This model includes a D&G cell phone holder, a signature leather pouch, Bluetooth headphone, and FM earphones. It is available from all major Motorola retailers and select D&G boutiques. The V3i is available in the following colors:

  • Silver Quartz (main color)
  • Gunmetal Grey
  • Gold Plate (special edition DG version only, see above)
  • Dark Blue
  • Maroon
  • Violet
  • Orchid
  • Black for (PRODUCT)RED (special edition to tie in with the (PRODUCT) RED initiative

The Motorola RAZR V3i was released to most worldwide markets in the Q4 of 2005-2006. In the U.S. the phone was released through Cingular Wireless on September 6, 2006, with a new activation price of $299.

V3r/V3t

The V3r and V3t are models sold by Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile, respectively. These models are virtually identical to the V3i, except they use Motorola's Digital Audio Player instead of iTunes for music playback. The V3t, sold by T-Mobile, comes equipped with software that supports T-Mobile's "MyFaves" rate plan. Canada's Rogers Wireless also carries them for a reduced price compared to the original Razrs.

V3im

The V3im is a version of the RAZR V3i available in the UK market with a 100 song cap on iTunes.[13]

MS500

Another version of this phone was released in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) on June 1, 2005. This version has the similar physical appearance as the original V3 but instead of GSM, it is a CDMA phone for SK Telecom. It is the first CDMA version of the RAZR without the expandable memory, Bluetooth and SIM card, since Motorola Korea's system was able to produce its own model before worldwide GSM format release. It has a 1.3 megapixel camera, video recording, 80MB of internal memory and a variety of UI features, such as mobile blog, Yoga graphic book, Diet diary and Lotto number generator for Wellness theme. It also comes in colors other than those mentioned above. Black, pink, and lime models are seen around Korea. In February 8, 2006 Motorola Korea released its own slide-phone model for the RAZR named Z model name MS600.

Also, as the add-on to the MS600, MS500 Lime RAZR has been in circulation in South Korea since October 2006 along with the Motorola KRZR Black and Motorola KRZR Fire (Red).

3G Models

V3c

On November 21, 2005, a CDMA version of the RAZR, known as the RAZR V3c, became available to Alltel Wireless users. Verizon Wireless followed suit on December 7, 2005. Unlike models for Alltel and other carriers, Verizon's V3c features a proprietary interface and disabled Bluetooth file transfer (OBEX), although it is supported in firmware version .02 and some releases of .04. In January 2006, Canadian TELUS, Bell Mobility and Aliant Mobility, Venezuelan carriers Movistar and Movilnet, and Brazilian Vivo began carrying the V3c. In April 2006 Cricket Communications began selling the V3c. The RAZR V3c supports CDMA 2000 1xRTT and 1xEVDO third generation wireless technologies. This is the technology Verizon Wireless uses to provide their V CAST multimedia service. The coverage of this feature, however, may not be available everywhere. US Cellular and Alaska Communications Systems, Alaska's CDMA provider, also carry the V3c. It also has approximately 41.2 MB of internal memory, although only 32.8 MB are available for use. The V3c does not support an expandable memory card.

The original version of the V3c was charcoal gray, and a light pink version called Satin Pink (different from the GSM Magenta/Pink and the Cingular Cotton Candy versions) was released by Verizon Wireless in January 2006. TELUS Mobility, Bell, Aliant, and Vivo also carry pink versions of the V3c.

V3m

V3m is a new CDMA version of the RAZR. As an upgrade to the V3c, it features a microSD card slot for up to 2 GB of memory expansion, a longer lasting battery, and 40MB of internal memory. The V3m presently comes in silver and pink, although the original release as well as models currently available on the Sprint CDMA network featured the gunmetal gray color of the V3c. This is not available in the UK, although the V3x is on sale there.
It should be noted that the V3m is artificially crippled by Verizon Wireless. Verizon has disabled the ability to transfer data to and from the phone via usb or Bluetooth, forcing you to pay for the transfer through their network. The equivalent models offered by competitors (such as the V3t by T-Mobile) are not crippled in this manner. This has led to many Verizon Wireless users to resort to using their own artificial means of reverting their phones back to the original Motorola condition, or to that of a Verizon phone that has some of the disabled features enabled.[citation needed]


V3m File:Productred.gif

Partnering with Motorola, US Cellular and Sprint released a special Product Red RAZR and Bluetooth H500 headset to help support Global Fund programs which positively impact the lives of women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. Also in the UK there is a Product Red V3i, SLVR, and Bluetooth H3 headset.

V3x

Announced in March 2005, the RAZR V3x was formerly known as the Motorola V1150. Externally, it appears to be a larger RAZR V3, albeit with enhancements such as a 2.0 Megapixel camera. Internally, it is quite different, utilizing a different microprocessor, chipset, an nVidia GoForce GPU, and radio ICs. As a 3G product, its feature set is closer to that of phones such as the Motorola V980, e.g., two cameras instead of the single camera typical on GSM or CDMA products. However one of the main attractions of the RAZR V3, the fact that it is very thin, is no longer present in the V3x; although it is the smallest phone available in the UK on the "3" network, compared to other clamshells, it is only an average-sized phone. It won the "Best 3GSM handset" at the 2006 3GSM World Congress.[14]

M702iS

In Japan, a 3G(WCDMA) NTT DoCoMo version of the V3x was released in late August 2006. This version does not have GSM. A WCDMA+GSM version known as M702iG was also released.[15]

V3xx

Announced in July 2006, the V3xx is a 3G HSDPA and EDGE supported handset. It is extremely similar in appearance to the compact V3i design, but incorporates an improved feature set with a 1.3 megapixel camera in place of the 1.23 megapixel, 50 MB of memory, support for microSD and Bluetooth A2DP. Like the V3x, it is also equipped with a secondary camera and a higher resolution 240x320 pixel main screen.[16] The V3xx was made available for purchase internationally on the Three network in November 2006, and is now available on Cingular Wireless for $79.99 with a new 2-year contract. The Cingular version of the phone omits the secondary camera, as video calling is not currently offered on that network. The built-in GPU, manufactured by NVIDIA Corporation (model GoForce® 4800) is capable of rendering 3D images through OpenGL ES.

RAZR maxx

The RAZR maxx is a newly announced 3G HSDPA and EDGE handset predated by the RAZR V3x. Initially known as the "MAXX V6," it is set for release in Europe by the end of 2006. Additionally Motorola has released pictures on its website of the Verizon version. It has a 2.0 Megapixel camera, a QVGA display and 50 megabytes of storage.[17] While gaining a significantly improved featureset, it will maintain the same thin profile of the original RAZR V3. Key to its design are a glass fascia with external touch-sensitive controls for MP3s. (Click for RAZR maxx pictures [1][2][3][4][5][6])

This phone can currently be bought on a pay-monthly contract on the Motorola website in the UK[18] on Orange

Developments

The original V3 was a pinnacle of functionality when it was first released, but compared to recent "copycats" and further advancements in the cell phone industry, is now of relatively limited functionality. It has only 5.5 MB of usable memory capacity, upgradable to an absolute maximum of about 10 MB by modding the phone (see below for details). Furthermore it has no storage expansion slot and a low camera resolution of 0.3 megapixels (Resolution: 640x480 pixels).

The newer models (V3i and V3x) address these issues by increasing memory capacity to 30.8 MB and 62.8 respectively. Camera resolutions have been upgraded to 1.23 megapixels for the V3i, and 2.0 megapixels for the V3x. The hinge mechanism has also been reinforced.

For the V3x, Motorola slightly modified the keypad layout in response to complaints about it being difficult to use. The keys are bigger and more widely spaced, and rubber spacers have been added in between, instead of the laser-etchings on the metallic surface itself as seen previously.

A variant of the RAZR, called the "KRZR K1", boasts a 2 megapixel camera and a flashy new look. This phone has been released in September 2006 in some countries.

Criticisms

In practice, the GSM RAZR V3 can only support packet-switched data transfer speeds of about 40kbit/s using GPRS technology. Many GSM phones can support an enhanced version of GPRS called EDGE which supports much higher data transfer speeds.[19]

Original models of the RAZR are said to be very fragile and easily breakable if dropped. Newer models are sturdier, but dropping may result in a scratch on the camera lens, which results in all images taken thereafter being distorted.

Functionality was restricted in the Verizon-branded V3c and V3m versions to disable OBEX file transfer, thus allowing only ring tones and other files to be purchased instead of loaded using OBEX as in other RAZR versions. However, through certain modifications some of these capabilities can be re-enabled. The V3c and V3m handsets sold through Sprint, US Cellular and Alltel do not share this limitation.

The V3 is also criticized for being too wide despite its thinness.

The V3 Keypad is sometimes hard for new users to press.

The V3 has always suffered from an issue where the earpiece speaker volume is set too quietly at the factory; the V3i suffers from the same problem.

The down-arrow key must be used more than any other while viewing and sending photos and videos and browsing the internet. As frequent use may cause wear-and-tear, making the key less functional, when this occurs, the device may lose some of its capabilities.

Numerous complaints have risen about dust accumulating between the V3's plastic screen and LCD glass, possibly through an external side button. Access to the dust requires peeling off the plastic cover, usually followed by a replacement cover. [7] [8]

User interface

The start-up time of the RAZR V3 is slower than competitor phones and some have reported that this model has a generally slow and unresponsive feel. The V3c, however, is quite responsive (except for phones running the heavily modified Verizon firmware, which was brutally slow in the .02 and .03 versions, and somewhat improved in the .04 version).

The main menu screen and the menu lists use low quality 8-bit (256-color) icons with 1-bit transparency. This is in contrast to the 32-bit anti-aliased icons used on some newer phones such as Sony Ericsson's K800i.

Postal addresses cannot be stored on a V3, but can be stored on a V3c, V3i and V3x.

When writing text messages, original RAZR V3 models will lose the entire message if the phone is flipped closed or if the user returns to the idle screen. Each message must be explicitly saved by the user before leaving the message editing area.

While longer videos can be taken, the maximum size of a multimedia message that is sent is 100kb, limiting the length of a video clip to about 3 or 4 seconds. Longer videos must be transferred by USB cable.

When the battery is low, the RAZR will emit a loud reminder beep every few minutes. This can only be disabled by putting the phone in vibrate or silent mode, switching it off, or plugging the phone in for battery recharging.

During phone calls, the clock is obstructed from view, regardless of whether displayed as analog or digital. The V3xx model displays time & date (and a user option for call length time) during calls.

When pictures are opened individually at the lowest level, there is no 'Rename' option in the contextual menu.

Cultural impact

The RAZR has been said to be the "iPod" of Mobile Phones. Being the slimmest phone during its release in 2004, it easily stands out amongst other phone models. It has also been one of the most popular mobile phones since its first release, having been spotted in the hands of celebrities and businessmen alike. The RAZR V3 is also being used by the Dutch Prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende.[20]
