MOTORAZR2 Debuts With U.S. Wireless CarriersSleeker outside and more powerful inside, the next-generation MOTORAZR will soon be available to U.S. consumers from coast-to-coast
SCHAUMBURG, Il – 10 August 2007 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT)’s much-anticipated MOTORAZR2 is ready for its North American debut. Today, major U.S wireless carriers began announcing pricing and availability dates for the blade-thin device.
The MOTORAZR2 will be available from Alltel, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile USA, US Cellular, and Verizon Wireless, with availability from certain carriers within 14 days. Consumers should check with their wireless carrier for specific availability dates.
“The Motorola RAZR2 delivers the sharpest mobile experiences available – and customers of every national carrier in the U.S can now own one,” said Stu Reed, Executive Vice President, Motorola, Inc. and President, Mobile Devices Business. “With smart features available such as blazing-fast 3G wireless broadband, and modern style that’s slimmer and stronger than the original, the Motorola RAZR2 is the ultimate iconic feature phone.”
The MOTORAZR2 family – V9 (3G HSDPA), V9m (3G EVDO CDMA) and V8 (GSM) – will be available to users of all three major technology networks. The product features a larger internal screen for full HTML web browsing1 and a best-in-class external screen that enables viewing media, music and/or messaging without opening the flip.
Consumers will also receive touch feedback on the external screen through “haptic” key technology. The product also features Motorola CrystalTalk™ 3 for better voice quality, up to 2GB of on-board memory 4, real-time point-to-point video1 and ultra-fast menu navigation.
A great multimedia device, MOTORAZR2 also supports the most popular music formats and media services. With built-in stereo Bluetooth® wireless technology5, users can enjoy a wire-free music experience when paired with the compatible lightweight ROKR™ S9 Bluetooth stereo headphones.
