If beating dead horses was a competition, Motorola will surely emerge as the runaway winner. Alltell has picked up yet another RAZR variant called the MOTORAZR VE20 which recently passed through the FCC. This clamshell has a 2-megapixel camera with video recording, GPS, a memory slot, and a 3.5mm jack for easy listening to music with any headphones you care to use. The upper part of the flipper has an external display and touch-sensitive buttons providing easy access to recent calls, music, and messages. Alltell has thrown in many of its network-oriented applications including Alltell Search, Aricent Celltop, Alltell Navigation, and City ID. Touted to be the lightest ever RAZR at only 3.17 oz, the VE20 is capable of providing 250 minutes of talktime and 360 hours of standby time.

The MOTORAZR can be preordered starting today at Alltell’s website for $99.99 after a 50 mail-in rebate with retail availability from September 25th.

Here’s a better Motorola RAZR like phone. The Motorola RAZR 2 V9x is an improved, better version of what we had so far when it comes to Motorola clamshell phones. Or is it the same old trick we’ve seen before? That’s for you to decide in the future. This version is supposed to be launched by AT&T very soon according to rumors.

This quad-band will have HSDPA support, Bluetooth and GPS. You have the usual 2 megapixels camera, the microSD card slot and the USB port. Being a clamshell phone, this RAZR has two LCD screens but the external one has gotten bigger. You can follow GPS directions easily on the new screen.

The AT&T Navigator service is also rumored to be available from AT&T once the V9x is released. We’re going to wait for the official release for prices and plans.

If I was to choose between the Asus-Lamborghini ZX1 PDA or the RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition from Motorola I’d have a hard time choosing. I prefer the Ferrari logos, racing car ringtones over Lamborghini but I’d choose Asus’s PDA over a RAZR2 V9 any day.

Motorola Executives promised to break the company out of its trend of “one-hit-wonders” and successfully release a series of innovative cellphones that will have continuity and success in the market. Motorola has been notorious for releasing products that becomes a big hit but later on fail to continue. An example for this of course is the RAZR, which up until now, has not been followed by another product.

They had no new products to unveil at the company’s annual analyst meeting in New York, however, they are promising some announcements next month. On the defensive after a year of turmoil and subpar sales, Motorola’s leaders said they were continuing to cut costs even with its share of the world handset market down to 14.6 percent from 21.9 percent a year ago, according to Gartner Inc. Motorola’s handset unit, its largest, has been struggling after more than two years of phenomenal Razr sales that fell off sharply starting late last year. Earlier this year, the Schaumburg, Illinois-based company warned the cellphone segment would be unprofitable until at least next year.

But it has yet to come up with a worthy successor to the Razr in a market now dominated by Apple Inc’s iPhone. Motorola is in the process of introducing the Razr 2, although it is not expected to come anywhere near the

success of the original phone.
