Motorola debuts RAZR2 V8 Luxury edition

The Motorola RAZR2 sports a new outfit for this holiday season, with a limited series of handsets coming with a gold-plated body and soft snake-skin-like back. The new bling-bling style would most definitely magnetize fashionistas.

The Motorola RAZR2 V8 Luxury Edition has the same functionality as the original Moto RAZR2 V8 (expect our review next week) but just as a spoiler, we would mention the slim 12.05 mm body and the main 2.2" QVGA TFT display, as well as the external 2" QVGA TFT display with touch sensitive keys. A 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth and up to 2GB of integrated memory complete the set of features. Unfortunately, there is no 3G or HSDPA support, nor memory card slot.



The device has some stunning accessories though, such as the Motorola H680 Bluetooth headset with 18 carat gold-plated accents and a matching patent leather carrying case.

The Motorola RAZR2 V8 Luxury Edition is expected to start shipping just before the holiday shopping, but there is no pricing information yet.

Motorola announced a handful of budget handsets, too. The new models are W156/W160, W175/W180, W206/W213, and W377. The handsets are presented in couples - every couple consists of two identical models, each with dual-band support. The first one in every pair is the American model with 850/1900 MHz support, while the second is compatible with the 900/1800 MHz band.

The W160, W180, W213 and W377 (those are the European ones) feature FM radio but, strangely enough, headphones are not included in the package. However, the situation is remedied by the presence of a standard 2.5 mm audio jack. Additionally, all of the new handsets, except for the W377, will feature Motorola’s proprietary CrystalTalk technology, which automatically adjusts audio to ensure clear calls even in noisy environments
