Motorola Razr2

The Motorola Razr2, stylized as Motorola RAZR2, is a clamshell mobile phone designed and developed by Motorola, announced on May 16, 2007. The Razr2 is the second-generation Razr, succeeding the Motorola Razr V3 and its derivatives and also the Motorola Razr Maxx V6. The Razr2 was released in 2G EDGE (model no. V8), 3G HSDPA (V9) and 3G EV-DO (V9m) variants.

The most prominent feature in the Razr2 is the large external display with touch-sensitive buttons and haptic feedback. It allows users to use some functions of the phone without opening up the flip. Compared to the previous Razrs, Razr2 also has Motorola's CrystalTalk technology to improve call quality and help reduce background noise. While the Razr2 V9 and V9m run on Motorola's previous software platform called P2K (based on Versatile Real-Time Executive), the Razr2 V8 runs MotoMagx, based on the MontaVista Linux OS.

The GSM version of the Razr2, the Motorola Razr2 V8, was released in July 2007 around the world. As of October 15, 2007, T-Mobile US had offered the V8 model.

The 3G version, Motorola Razr2 V9, was released on September 1, 2007, and was exclusively made available through AT&T in the US. The V9 was also released in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. AT&T's device version did not have the same external screen capabilities as the International version.

An enhanced version of the V9, named the V9x, was released in December 2008 for AT&T (US), Rogers Wireless (Canada) and Telstra (Australia). This model has additional features such as GPS and microSDHC memory card support. AT&T's V9x also gained the same external screen features the International version of the V9 came with. It also came with "AT&T Navigator" GPS software.

The Motorola Razr2 V9m, which is the EV-DO version of the Razr2 series, was released through SK Telecom on June 29, 2007 in South Korea. Verizon Wireless released the V9m in the US on August 29, 2007, followed by Sprint, Alltel and other CDMA carriers.

A Luxury Edition version of the Razr2 V8 was released in time for the 2007 holiday season featuring 18k gold-plated accents and a soft snake-skin-like back.

A Ferrari Edition of the Razr2 V9 was released in June 2008 in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. It featured a Ferrari logo on the back of the phone, a Ferrari-branded leather case, and pre-loaded Ferrari wallpapers and ringtones.
