Motorola announced a major milestone today with the shipment of the 50 millionth Motorola RAZR V3 handset. By introducing the Motorola RAZR, the company once again raised the design benchmark for the industry and unleashed consumer frenzy for the ultra-sleek "must have" mobile handset.

To celebrate the 50-millionth-unit milestone, Motorola and U.S. Cellular are hosting a series of exciting events at the U.S. Cellular store located at 30 North La Salle Street in downtown Chicago. Consumers who visit the store can get a chance to win a variety of prizes, including a free Motorola RAZR. Every 50 seconds this morning between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Central Time, the U.S. Cellular store at 30 North LaSalle Street will give away a Motorola RAZR.

Noted by industry experts as a game-changing feat of design and engineering, the Motorola RAZR is just 13.9mm thin. The mobile handset's radical and revolutionary design transformed consumers' expectations for how a mobile handset should look and feel.

"The RAZR is Motorola's design philosophy made real: technology, design, and exceptional communication in one," said Ron Garriques, president, Mobile Devices, Motorola. "The development was a journey we took to find and express the soul of our company. This milestone proves Motorola's philosophy of engaging consumers and keeping them wanting more."
