when does the motorola razr 4 come out
Motorola Razr - Wikipedia Motorola Razr Jump to : navigation , search The RAZR V3i was sold during the height of the popularity of the Razr series . The Motorola Razr ( styled RAZR , pronounced `` razor '' ; sometimes also Siliqua ) was a series of mobile phones by Motorola , part of the 4LTR line . They were first developed in July 2003 and were released in the market in the third quarter of 2004 . The V3 was the first phone released in the series , followed soon thereafter by the much improved V3i with a collaboration with Apple for iTunes to be built - in . Because of its striking appearance and thin profile , it was initially marketed as an exclusive fashion phone , but within a year , its price was lowered and it was wildly successful , selling over 50 million units by July 2006 . Over the Razr 's four - year run , the V3 model sold more than 130 million units , becoming the best - selling clamshell phone in the world to date . The Razr series was marketed until July 2007 , when the succeeding Motorola Razr2 series was released . Marketed as a more sleek and more stable design of the Razr , the Razr 2 included more features , improved telephone audio quality , and a touch sensitive external screen . The new models were the V8 , the V9 , and the V9m . However , Razr sales were not as good as the original , with consumers moving to competing products . Because Motorola relied so long upon the Razr and its derivatives and was slow to develop new products in the growing market for feature - rich touchscreen and 3G phones , the Razr appeal declined , leading Motorola to eventually drop behind Samsung and LG in market share for mobile phones . Motorola 's strategy of grabbing market share by selling tens of millions of low - cost Razrs cut into margins and resulted in heavy losses in the cellular division . In October 2011 , Motorola resurrected the Razr brand for a line of Android smartphones ; the Droid Razr for Verizon Wireless , otherwise also known simply as `` Motorola RAZR '' on other networks , improved variant Droid Razr Maxx . The new `` Razr '' line shares the trademark thinness as well as stylized tapered corners with the original .

The team of the V3 put together a number of design choices that set the device apart from the competition . The phone had the thinnest profile at the time on a clamshell set , sported an electroluminescent keypad made out of a single metal wafer and used an industry standard mini USB port for data , battery charger and headphones , all in an aluminum body with an external glass screen . It sold 130 million units during its lifespan , being the best selling clamshell phone to date . Complaints were made about dust accumulating between the V3 's plastic screen and LCD glass , possibly through an external side button . Access to the dust requires peeling off the plastic cover , usually followed by a replacement cover . Matte black version ( edit ) A black version was produced for distribution in the 77th Academy Awards gift bags , and was released in early May 2005 . While distribution was initially limited to specific carriers in North America , the black V3 was widely available elsewhere . Hot pink versions ( edit ) The first pink version was released in October 2005 , and as of June 2006 , was available in the USA from T - Mobile ( as Razr V3 Magenta , after the T - Mobile -- and its parent , Deutsche Telekom 's -- corporate color , but called Razr V3 Pink in other countries , including other T - Mobile networks ) , Verizon , Cingular Wireless , Suncom Wireless , Cellular One from Dobson Cellular Systems ( each in a different shade ) . It was available in Canada from Bell , Rogers Wireless and Telus , and in the United Kingdom from T - Mobile and the Carphone Warehouse. $25 of sales from the Rogers pink V3 went to Rethink Breast Cancer . It was also available in all Movistar - serviced countries and Claro ( Telcel ) . MS500 ( edit ) Another version of this phone was released in the Republic of Korea ( South Korea ) on June 1 , 2005 . This version has the similar physical appearance as the original V3 but instead of GSM , it is a CDMA phone for SK Telecom . It is the first CDMA version of the Razr without the expandable memory , Bluetooth and SIM card , since Motorola Korea 's system was able to produce its own model before worldwide GSM format release . It has a 1.3 - megapixel camera , video recording , 80 MB of internal memory and a variety of UI features , such as mobile blog , Yoga graphic book , Diet diary and lottery number generator for Wellness theme . It also comes in colors other than those mentioned above . Black , pink , and lime models are seen around Korea . On February 8 , 2006 Motorola Korea released its own slide - phone model for the Razr named Z model name MS600 . Unlike most other versions , the MS500 version is packaged with a charging dock and has three metal terminals on the back side immediately under the battery cover . Also , as the add - on to the MS600 , MS500 Lime Razr has been in circulation in South Korea since October 2006 along with the Motorola KRZR Black and Motorola KRZR Fire ( Red ) . V3re ( edit ) The Razr V3re ( also known as V3_06 ) is a GSM model that has been updated to support EDGE and Crystal Talk technology . It is nearly identical to the original V3 , having no memory card slot and with a VGA 4x zoom camera . It can be identified by a slightly larger notch under the Motorola logo when closed , a black matte Motorola logo in the battery cover instead the metallic silver logo in the V3 and a software version starting with R3442A . It is available in North America from T - Mobile , AT&T in the US , Rogers / Fido in Canada and Vivo in Brazil ( using both 850 MHz frequency and 1800 MHz . This one with the old - named Telemig Celular , a Vivo company ) It is also available in three colors ; Orchid Pink , Silver , and Stone Grey . Contents in the box include quick start manuals and its charger . V3r / V3t ( edit ) The V3r and V3t are models sold by T - Mobile , AT&T ( formerly Cingular ) , and Canadian cellular services such as Rogers Wireless . These models are virtually identical to the V3 and V3i , except they use Motorola 's Digital Audio Player instead of iTunes k . T - Mobile 's V3r offers a Voice Notes feature which permits forwarding your audio recordings to voicemail as the only storage method . However , a publicly available SEEM edit permits users to enable the hidden Voice Records feature . Voice Records allows you to save voice recordings locally to phone memory . Currently , Voice Records is limited to less than two minutes of audio recording and stores the resulting records as . avr format files on the a partition within phone memory . In contrast , currently available SEEM edits can expand the maximum size of video recordings . T - Mobile V3t phone memory is 10.0 MB total , including all system files . This space is divided unevenly into a and c partitions . Memory on partition a is larger than 2 MB and contains system files , including some of the branding images for the phone carrier . Partition a also contains the avr structure for the hidden Voice Records feature . Partition c is larger than 5.5 MB and stores user data , including images , sounds , videos , text notes , calendar entries , phone book entries , Java applets and web cache . V3r and V3t phones sold by T - Mobile come equipped with Java - based software that supports T - Mobile 's `` MyFaves '' rate plan . Publicly available third party tools can remove this Java software and other system or locked files to free memory for other uses . Canada 's Rogers Wireless also carries them for a reduced price compared to the original Razrs . V3i ( edit ) Motorola Razr V3i <Td_colspan="2"> Series Motorola Razr Compatible networks GSM Quad band First released November 2005 Dimensions 53 x 98 x 13.9 mm ( 3.9 in x 2.1 in x 0.54 in ) Weight 3.5 oz ( 99.22 grams ) Memory 13.5 MB Internal Removable storage microSD expandable up to 512 MB ( 1 GB with the latest firmware ) Display Internal : 176 × 220 pixel ( 2.2 inch ) TFT LCD , 262,144 colors External : 96 × 80 pixel STN 65,536 colors Connectivity GPRS Class 10 ( 4 + 1 / 3 + 2 ) slots 32 - 48 kbit / s Bluetooth Class 1 v1. 0 mini-USB The V3i was announced in November 2005 , and addresses some of the faults of the original Razr V3 , including a better ( 1.23 - megapixel ) camera with 8x digital zoom , an improved external and internal display , also support for microSD cards of up to 512 Mb maximum . V3i is functionally very close to Motorola V635 model . The V3i comes in two versions : one with iTunes and one with Motorola 's Digital Audio Player ( DAP ) . The iTunes version of the phone has a 50 or 100 song limit restriction ( `` cap '' ) depending on where the phone model was made . The Motorola DAP does not suffer from this cap ; however , it takes considerably longer time to load and uses the V3 's battery at a much faster rate than iTunes does . The phone 's looks have also been subtly changed . It was announced on December 8 , 2005 that Motorola had teamed up with Dolce & Gabbana to produce a Special Edition Gold Razr V3t . Only 1,000 of these have been made and sold for a premium price . The launch of the V3i phone comes with the supplied battery a `` BR50 '' . Technology has since evolved ; Motorola has launched a much improved and longer - lasting battery , the `` BR56 '' . A recommended initial charge of the `` BR56 '' for over eight hours to obtain its benefits . On June 1 , 2006 , Motorola and Dolce & Gabbana once again released their limited edition gold phone . This model includes a D&G cell phone holder , a signature leather pouch , Bluetooth headphone , and FM earphones . It was available from all major Motorola retailers and select D&G boutiques . The V3i is available in the following colors : Silver Quartz ( main color ) Gunmetal Grey Gold Plate ( special edition DG version only , see above ) Dark Blue Maroon Violet Orchid Black for ( PRODUCT ) ( special edition to tie in with the ( PRODUCT ) RED initiative ) Platinum Red Chrome Green Chrome Purple Celery ( some companies call it Lime Green instead ) The Motorola Razr V3i was released to most worldwide markets in the Q4 of 2005 -- 2006 . In the U.S. the phone was released through Cingular Wireless on September 6 , 2006 , with a new activation price of $299 , while T - Mobile released the Dolce & Gabbana V3i exclusively in the United States . V3im ( edit ) The V3im is the iTunes version of the Razr V3i available in the UK market with a 100 song cap . V3c ( edit ) On November 21 , 2005 , a CDMA2000 version of the Razr , known as the Razr V3c , became available to Alltel and SaskTel users . Verizon Wireless followed suit on December 7 , 2005 . Unlike models for Alltel and other carriers , Verizon 's V3c features a proprietary user interface and disables , in software , Bluetooth file transfer capabilities ( called OBEX ) . ( Although OBEX is supported in Verizon 's V3c firmware version . 02 , and version . 04 if flash - upgraded directly from . 02 , skipping any install of . 03 . ) In January 2006 , Canadian Telus , Bell Mobility and Aliant Mobility , Venezuelan carriers Movistar and Movilnet , and Brazilian Vivo began carrying the V3c . In April 2006 Cricket Communications began selling the V3c . The handset was also made available for Metro PCS . The Razr V3c supports CDMA 2000 1xRTT and 1xEV - DO third generation wireless technologies . This is the technology Verizon Wireless uses to provide their V CAST multimedia service . The coverage of this feature , however , may not be available everywhere . US Cellular and Alaska Communications Systems , Alaska 's CDMA provider , also carry the V3c . It also has approximately 41.2 MB of internal memory , although only about 36 MB are available for use . The V3c does not support expansion with a memory card . The original version of the V3c was charcoal gray , and a light pink version called Satin Pink ( different from the GSM Magenta / Pink and the AT&T Cotton Candy versions ) was released by Verizon Wireless in January 2006 . Telus Mobility , Bell , Aliant , and Vivo also carry pink versions of the V3c . Type Specification Modes CDMA 850 / CDMA 1900 Weight 3.49 oz ( 99 g ) Dimensions 3.90 '' x 2.10 '' x 0.60 '' ( 99 x 53 x 15 mm ) Form Factor Clamshell Internal Antenna Battery Life Talk : 3.33 hours ( 200 minutes ) Standby : 215 hours ( 9 days ) Battery Type LiIon 740 mAh Display Type : LCD ( Color TFT / TFD ) Colors : 65,536 ( 16 - bit ) Size : 176 x 220 pixels Platform / OS Symbian / Verizon proprietary Memory 30 MB ( built - in , flash shared memory ) Phone Book Capacity 1000 FCC ID IHDT56FT1 ( Approved September 1 , 2005 ) V3m ( edit ) V3m is a CDMA version of the Razr . As an upgrade to the V3c , it features a microSD card slot for up to 2 GB of memory expansion , a longer - lasting battery , and 40 MB of internal memory . The V3m came in silver , pink and red although the original release as well as models that used to be available on the Sprint CDMA network featured the gunmetal gray color of the V3c . For a limited time Alltel and US Cellular offered a Fire Red color . This model is not available in the UK as they use GSM , not CDMA , although the V3x is on sale there . Due to many Sprint customers complaining about less than expected battery life , Motorola offered free high - capacity batteries to Sprint customers who contacted Motorola 's customer service line with battery life complaints . Verizon Wireless version ( edit ) The Verizon Wireless version of the Razr Verizon Wireless disabled certain features on the V3m including the ability to transfer data files to and from the phone via Bluetooth ( a specific protocol called OBEX ) . Verizon has also blocked the transfer of most data over USB , such as ringtones . These phones also run Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless ( BREW ) , which signs each application to the phones Electronic Serial Number , or ESN , thus preventing the use of free applications ( including Back Up Assistant ) . The equivalent models offered by competitors ( such as the V3t by T - Mobile ) still retain these features . The V3m on Verizon will play . WMA formatted music files placed in the my_music directory of the removable memory chip , but although the telephone will accept a 2 GB memory chip , only a portion ( ~ 600 Mbytes ) can be accessed by the music player . Stereo headphone playback can be achieved with a miniature USB to 3.5 mm phone jack adapter containing the appropriate interface circuitry ; adapters designed for hands - free handset operation may not work . Verizon also installs their own user interface instead of the default Motorola interface that they used to use in the past . This has led to many Verizon Wireless users to resort to using their own artificial means of reverting their phones back to an original Motorola condition , or to that of a Verizon phone that has some of the disabled features enabled . A newer Verizon version of the phone has been upgraded and features limitless video capture , easier laid out menu system and the ability to customize the external screen . The phone is still unable to sync to a computer via USB cable for anything other than charging , unless a software such as Bitpim is used to access files . Red V3m ( edit ) Partnering with Motorola , US Cellular and Sprint released a special Product Red Razr and Bluetooth H500 headset to help support Global Fund programs which positively impact the lives of women and children affected by HIV / AIDS in Africa . Also in the UK there is a Product Red V3i , SLVR , and Bluetooth H3 headset . V3x ( edit ) Motorola Razr V3x <Td_colspan="2"> Manufacturer Motorola Availability by country Q1 2005 Weight 125 Memory 64 MB Display QVGA , 2.2 inch , 262,144 colors , 320 × 240 Rear camera 2 megapixels ( 1600 × 1200 ) with LED flash Announced in March 2005 , the V3x was formerly known as the Motorola V1150 . Externally , it appears to be a larger V3 , albeit with enhancements such as a 2.0 - megapixel camera . Internally , it is quite different , utilizing a different microprocessor , chipset , an Nvidia GoForce 4200 GPU , and radio ICs . As a 3G product , its feature set is closer to that of phones such as the Motorola V980 , e.g. , two cameras instead of the single camera typical on GSM or CDMA products . However one of the main attractions of the Razr V3 , the fact that it is very thin , is no longer present in the V3x ; although it was the smallest phone available in the UK on the 3 network at the time of release , compared to other contemporary phones , it was only average - sized . It won the `` Best 3GSM handset '' at the 2006 3GSM World Congress . M702ig ( edit ) In Japan , a 3G ( W - CDMA ) NTT DoCoMo version of the V3x was released in late August 2006 . This version has IrDA . V3xx ( edit ) Announced in July 2006 , the V3xx is a 3G Category 5 / 6 ( 3.6 Mbit / s ) HSDPA and EDGE supported handset . It is extremely similar in appearance to the compact V3i design , but incorporates an improved feature set with a 1.3 - megapixel camera in place of the 1.23 - megapixel , 50 MB of internal memory , support for microSD and Bluetooth A2DP . Like the V3x , it is also equipped with a secondary screen and a higher resolution 240x320 pixel ( QVGA ) main screen . The V3xx was made available for purchase internationally on the 3 network in November 2006 , and is now available on AT&T ( formerly Cingular ) for free with a new 2 - year contract . The secondary camera is not available in the USA . The built - in GPU , manufactured by Nvidia ( model GoForce 4800 ) is capable of rendering 3D images through OpenGL ES . The phone includes a much faster CPU as well , making the performance of all features , including 3G / Data much more real - time . Menuing delays common to the slower V3 platform are gone . With the new CPU , the V3xx Phone also includes a fast USB V2. 0 for rapid ringtone / image / mp3 file downloading . Older V3 's were limited to USB V1. 1 . Unlike with the V3 and V3i which were both quad band GSM , and thus worked equally well on any GSM network in the world , the V3xx comes in different variants depending on the local frequency bands used for GSM and UMTS / HSDPA . The North American V3xx is Tri band ( 850 MHz / 1800 MHz / 1900 MHz ) GSM and dual band ( 850 MHz / 1900 MHz ) UMTS / HSDPA , whereas the version sold in Europe and Asia is tri band ( 900 MHz / 1800 MHz / 1900 MHz ) GSM and single band ( 2.1 GHz ) UMTS / HSDPA . This is likely due to the need to fit the internal components of the V3xx into a small casing ; as of early 2007 global phones that support quad - band GSM and tri-band UMTS / HSDPA are considerably bulkier than the V3xx . The M702iS version was released as the NTT DoCoMo version of the V3xx which does not have GSM , HSDPA but rather IrDA .

Key to its design are a glass fascia with external touch - sensitive controls for MP3s . This phone was available in Australia from Telstra on their 850 MHz Next G network . The Verizon Wireless version became available on April 24 , 2007 . The Verizon Wireless version , the Razr maxx Ve , did not have the second camera on the inside of the phone . Instead , there was a shutter button for focusing and picture taking . The Ve featured Verizon 's menu system , but is said to support OBEX profiles , unlike Verizon 's current Razr V3m . MS500W ( edit ) Like previous Model MS500 , Motorola Korea announced its Korean version of WCDMA Razr HSDPA , known as Razr Luk . The MS500W will upgrade its screen to 2.2 inch TFT QVGA , 1.3 - megapixel camera with bluetooth and microSDHC support .

It also featured an external screen with touch sensitive buttons which allowed users to use some of the phone features without opening the flip , and Motorola 's CrystalTalk technology to improve call quality and help reduce background noise . Different color variants were released , including a Luxury Edition and a Ferrari Edition . Razr3 ( V13 ) ( edit ) Main article : Motorola Razr3 Motorola Razr3 V13 ( Moto Klassic ) ( Code Name : Ruby ) <Td_colspan="2"> Manufacturer Motorola Availability by country November 2009 Weight 105 g CPU MSM6675 Memory 303 MB Internal Memory , Micro SD Card Display Internal Screen : 240x320 pixels , TFT LCD , 262K colours , 2.2 Inch / External screen : Touch screen , 240x320 pixels , TFT LCD , 262K colours , 2.0 Inch Rear camera 5.0 MP , Auto Focus , Flash Included The Razr3 consisted of one prototype model , the VE1 .

Cultural impact ( edit ) Being the slimmest phone during its release in 2004 , the Razr easily stood out amongst other phone models . It was one of the most popular mobile phones since its first release , having been spotted in the hands of celebrities and business people alike until the advent of smartphones , it is frequently seen in reruns of movies and TV shows . It was also a token piece in the popular modernized board game Monopoly Here & Now . In popular culture ( edit ) The Razr became identified as a `` fashion '' product and an iconic cell phone in the late 2000s . The Razr was used in several television shows and featured in several movies . In the 2006 film A Good Year , Russell Crowe 's character Max Skinner used a BlackBerry whilst working as a high - flying London financier , but chose a black Razr to accompany his later laid - back life in rural Provence . Notable TV occasions were the season three finale of the TV series Lost in which Jack Shephard used a Razr ( an important plot point which anchors the episode 's chronology ) , the HBO hit sitcom Entourage had characters specifically Ari Gold using it , and USA hit series Burn Notice in which Michael Westen used a Razr until 2009 . In Season 5 of 24 , President Charles Logan used a Razr as his personal cell phone . Contestants on the NBC adventure reality show `` Treasure Hunters '' were given Razrs for communication with the host and each other throughout the season . The Product Red edition of the Razr was launched by Oprah Winfrey and Bono for charity . A grey - coloured V3 was also used by Jeremy Clarkson on BBC 's Top Gear during outtakes when he got a call at the start of the show . Even in 2012 , the Razr was used as CIA - special agent Rex Matheson 's phone in the 4th season of Torchwood . It was popularised in South India through the movie Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu , in which Kamal Haasan was seen using the phone . In the computer game Counter-Strike : Source , the character Leet can be seen holding one . In Prison Break Series , Alexander Mahone used the Motorola V3 . Also , in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada , characters played by Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci used Moto Razr phones . In the 2017 Square Enix game Life is Strange : Before the Storm , the main character 's phone is a Motorola RAZR , decorated with stickers .
