When Motorola’s original RAZR hit the scene it effectively took the world by storm. Consumers near-and-far were attracted to its sleek design despite it not featuring any ground breaking features.

Well here we are years later and the RAZR is still popular enough that Motorola has releases a LuK Hot Pink version for the South Korean market. Technology has progressed a bit, and so has this phone. The LuK Hot Pink RAZR will feature 7.2Mbps HSDPA, video call capabilities and Bluetooth.

Of course, it’s ~$400 price tag probably wouldn’t spurr up much interest here in the States but perhaps the Korean market will take to it better.

Motorola has decided to announce a new Razr phone, covered in gold. We’re looking for Moto to launch hot new phones and maybe it’s time the company decided to quit launching new Razr handsets. This one will not impress you with its specs but with that 18K white gold and with that gold plated keypad. Besides all that gold that you’ll have features like 3G, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 connectivity, better speakers and support for video calls and multimedia playback. The phone should arrive from SK Telecom in Korea but you’d have to check with your local carriers to see if Motorola will bring it to other markets too. And while you’re at it, ask for pricing details too!

RAZR phones from Motorola have been quite popular for a while in America. And it was the iPhone that managed to steal that top spot lately. Is that the reason for which the RAZR3 Ruby got canceled? The phone was supposed to arrive sometime in Q1 2009 but that won’t happen now. I hope Motorola is finally ready to move on and try to develop a new hit phone soon.

Apple’s iPhone did very good in the U.S. lately. In fact the iPhone 3G did so well in sales that it managed to grab that number one position held by Motorola’s RAZR. That all happened during the third quarter of the year. RAZR’s was holding that number one spot for about three years. Motorola fell on the second place and it’s followd by the BlackBerry Curve, the Rumor and the V2, both from LG.

Ross Rubin, director of industry analysis for NPD said:

The displacement of the RAZR by the iPhone 3G represents a watershed shift in handset design from fashion to fashionable functionality. Four of the five best-selling handsets in the third quarter were optimized for messaging and other advanced Internet features.

Well then, we’re waiting for Moto to get a new device at least as popular as the RAZR. Maybe an Android RAZR?

A new Motorola cellphone has been spotted at FCC, it is codenamed i9 and has the unique characteristic of being a iDEN handset. What is iDEN? Integrated Digital Enhanced Network, which basically provides more individual frequencies to the phone.

In case you haven’t noticed, the i9 is pretty similar to other Motorola devices, in this case the RAZR. It has Linux-Java as the operative system, and includes a 3-megapixel camera with auto-focus, a slot for microSD memory cards, and stereo Bluetooth for high-quality sound.

Extra features on Motorola i9: a navigation system also known as GPS, and a working mode similar to the iPhone:

The i9 comes with morphing icon keys on the front of the flip that will change depending on whether you are holding your phone in portrait or landscape mode.

There have been a couple of good RAZR2 V8 special editions, like the holidays edition, or that one cellphone boasting 412 diamonds and costing a lot, but Motorola has presented a cheaper model that still looks good.

Also known as Antique Rose version, this RAZR2 V8 has all the features (hardware) of the original model but in terms of dimensions, style, and weight, the details have changed.

In style there is a stainless steel internal frame that will please a lot of cellphone-junkies, while on the outside this V8 has tempered glass to make it scratch-resistant.

If beating dead horses was a competition, Motorola will surely emerge as the runaway winner.

Motorola has a new RAZR phone in the works. Apparently it’s going to be called RAZR 3 Vxx “Ruby” which is quite complicated for a name. It’s said it will include a metallic body and a slightly smaller size than the RAZR 2 V9.
