14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola unveiled these days a new edition of its RAZR2 popular clamshell, all dressed in silver/pink metallic shades. The phone was released in South Korea, via SK Telecom, the largest mobile operator in the country (more than 22 million customers).
With the new look, the RAZR2 looks quite nice (for a girl/woman) and it could actually pass as a luxury device. We're not sure whether the new silver-pink RAZR2 is the V8 or the V9 version, as the phones look alike and they even have about the same specs. Anyway, since we're talking about South Korea, where handsets without 3G capabilities hardly exist, it's most likely that the new Moto is the RAZR V9, because out of the two RAZRs it's the only one to feature 3G connectivity.
As in most cases when a mobile phone goes through a change of look, the features of the girly RAZR2 stayed the same as on the original device. Therefore, young Korean girls will get an internal 2.2 inch display with 240 x 320 pixels and 256K colors, a similar external display (but with 0.2 inch smaller), HSDPA for data transfer speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps, Music player with MP3, AAC and AAC+ support, a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording, secondary video-call camera, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, miniUSB, email, Instant Messaging, Web browsers (Opera 8 and WAP 2.0) microSD card support and so on. All this is packed in a sleek case that weighs 125 grams and measures 103 x 53 x 13.3 millimeters (when closed).
The silver-pink RAZR2 will probably not be released anywhere else except South Korea, but I don't think anyone will mind that. We're still waiting for something really new to come from Motorola, like the rumored high-end, good looking and touchscreen-enabled ROKR E10.
