The new Motorola Razr 2

Motorola’s thinner, faster, multimedia-packed version of its popular Razr phone is part of the company’s new strategy.

The new Razr 2, due this July, was showcased for the first time at Motorola’s “Mobile Experience” event held in New York City on Tuesday. CEO Ed Zander took the stage holding the Razr 2 in his hand and called it the “ultimate multimedia device.” It does come with many significant enhancements that show the evolution of feature phones, meaning those that don’t have a mobile operating system like smartphones.

Motorola has recently officially announced the RAZR 2, the successor to its most iconic handset ever. The RAZR 2 comes in 3.6Mbps HSDPA, EV-DO, and GSM / EDGE variants. It is slimmer than the original by 2 mm. Select versions will be using Motorola’s Linux-based platform. It also features Motorola’s “Crystal Talk” technology, which automatically adjusts volume and tone based on ambient noise. The RAZR 2 also features external music controls, haptics for tactile feedback upon key presses, a full HTML browser, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Windows Media Player Synchronization, a 2-inch external display and 2 times the display resolution of the original RAZR. Shipping starts in July for GSM versions while the CDMA versions will follow sometime later.
