8 years ago, Motorola introduced the concept of thinness to mobiles in a big way. The 2004 RAZR was a clam-shell flip phone with stunning, razor-sharp design. 130 million units later, people discovered that the flip mechanism broke easily and that apart from look good and make calls, the RAZR didn’t do anything exceptional. The RAZR 2 came along in 2007, but the world had moved on.
Motorola’s mobile handset division was sold to Google in August 2011 for a respectable $12.5 Billion. Fans of this venerable American champion have been keen to see what Google will be able to release with Motorola in its own house. Unfortunately, the new Android powered RAZR smartphone will not be that device. That said, it’s still a mighty impressive unit, and offers a lot of promise for the year ahead.
