Motorola RAZR 2 on a diet

With much fanfare across the tech and gadget blog world, the Motorola RAZR 2 was launched on Tuesday. The new version of the incredibly popular (almost 100 million sold worldwide) yet highly criticized RAZR has had a complete redesign of its UI and has slimmed down a further 2mm (GSM and CDMA versions). It can handle up to 2GB of memory to hold your tunes and the touchscreen UI incorporates ‘haptics’ technology - the internal display vibrates in response to finger taps.

The RAZR 2 boasts two displays, a 2 inch external and a 2.2 inch internal, operates Motorola’s Linux-based platform JUIX and will sync with Windows Media Player. All in all a smart little cookie. But how much of a dent will it make in your wallet? Motorola decided to keep quiet on that statistic but the rumors are around $500. If that’s true it’s probably not a iPhone beater but it’ll still sell well on the back of the original’s reputation alone. As an aside Motorola shares closed down at $17.92 a drop of 1.3 percent after the launch.
