The Rock Solid Moto Razr2

After the success of the RAZR series of phones, Motorola is back (and killing it too!) with the RAZR2 V8. Globally – and I'm quoting official company sources here – the phone has sold around 100 million RAZRs already.
My impression of the phone wasn’t far from the general gasps I got from friends and people around me.

The phone does take the design bit to the next level, with a sturdy form factor and a beautiful, good-to-look-at and shiny exterior. If you watch a lot of TV, you must have already seen the phone being used sort of like a mini-Blackjack in the ad. For once, it’s not really an exaggeration. It’s rock solid, and can be used as a weapon. (Girls, pay attention!)

The clamshell form factor includes a stainless steel frame with metal and glass housing, all put together with a chemically hardened glass. At 103 x 53 x 11.9 mm, it’s really slim, so if you're out to make a style statement, consider it done!!

It’s surprising that the company saw fit to keep the screen so compact, when the body itself is big enough to accommodate a larger screen. However, it’s a 256K color screen capable of supporting 240 x 320 pixels. The external screen is a 2-inch display, and the bottom portion works as a touchscreen while playing music. For the buttons, diamond-cut technology has apparently been employed, what with metal hinges to make the flip action that much more reliable and long-lasting. You may need to establish your own rhythm, as the groove between the fold requires one to lodge the tip of the finger to yank it open. There’s just no other way!
