Motorola RIZR Review

The cleverly named Motorola RIZR (or MOTORIZR) originally codenamed the “Capri” is a RAZR-style sliding phone - Motorola’s first for Western markets.

Initial reports say that Motorola have spent a lot of time getting the sliding mechanism just right, resulting in a handset that feels as if it is very high quality. It’s certainly a distinctive looking device too, and Motorola have been clever in including many RAZR family features into the design of the Motorola RAZR.

Motorola A925 Review 3G Cell Phone

The Motorola A925 adds Bluetoothâ„¢ and Infrared wireless connectivity to the A920 3G smartphone, making it a superb business tool. Apart from these additions and a minor external makeover, the A925 is the same as the A920, and so much of this review repeats what has already been said about the A920.

As a 3G phone, the A925 supports all of 3’s video mobile services: video calling, video messaging & downloading video clips. It supports assisted GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) for enhanced location-based services. It also benefits from high-speed data transfer whilst on the 3G network. The screen format supports widescreen video.

Motorola ROKR E6 Review

Motorola ROKR E6 certainly is new and a little unexpected - it’s a very stylish Linux smartphone with very capable multimedia support. And thankfully it shares almost nothing in common with the original ROKR (we called it the FLOPR), even to the extent that the ROKR E6 doesn’t have iTunes support. The ROKR E2 was a iTunes-less Linux device too, but the ROKR E6 is hugely different.

Motorola MS600 RAZR Z CDMA

The Motorola MS600 RAZR Z is a CDMA device, not a GSM device, aimed at the Korean market. The MS600 RAZR Z is interesting though, because it’s a rare Motorola sliding phone and it’s quite possible that we’ll see a GSM version sometime during 2006.

At 110 grams and 104×51x14.8mm overall, the MS600 RAZR R isn’t as light or as compact as some sliders, and it doesn’t appear to come with any expandable memory (although we could be wrong).

Motorola V1100 3G Phone Preview

The Motorola V1100 is a RAZR-like 3G phone with HSDPA (3G broadband), exclusive to the Vodafone network, and due to be in the shops by Christmas.

From what we know of the V1100’s specifications, it’s almost exactly the same as the RAZR XX with a 1.3 megapixel camera and a slightly different case. We assume that it has a QVGA 240×320 pixel display.

Motorola W220 Review

The Motorola W220 is a RAZR-like clamshell phone with a 128×128 pixel CSTN display in 65,000 colours that weighs 93 grams. It has a long battery life giving up to 8 hours talktime and 12 days standby time, and there’s a built-in FM radio. And really that’s about it.. no camera, no Bluetooth, no MP3 player. It’s only a dual-band GSM device, but it does at least have GPRS and a WAP browser.

Motorola SLVR L7e Review

Motorola announced the Motorola SLVR L7e (also known as the MOTOSLVR L7e), yet another member of the interminable Motorola RAZR/SLVR series of attractive but incredibly tedious phones.

The Motorola SLVR L7e tweaks the design slightly with a keypad very similar to the Motorola KRZR K1 clamshell, and the result is very pleasing to look at. The SLVR L7e also boosts the camera resolution from a poor 0.3 megapixels to a just-about-adequate 1.3 megapixels. The display is still a 176×220 pixel panel, there’s microSD expandable memory, Bluetooth and an MP3 player.

Motorola RAZR V3i Gold Limited Edition

Just in case the original RAZR V3i wasn’t quite blingy enough for you, this gold version is limited to 1000 units and will be sold exclusively through Dolce & Gabbana outlets worldwide.

Perhaps it’s not to everyone’s tastes, but it’s certainly a good deal tamer than the rather mad RAZR V3 Unrath & Strano Edition.
