Motorola RAZR V3 Bestowed Mobile Phone of the Year

Motorola received two outstanding accolades at the Asian MobileNews Awards 2005 ceremony June 15th. It received the Best Mobile Phone Design and beat five other competitors to clinch the most prestigious Mobile Phone of the Year Award.

The Motorola RAZR V3 epitomizes Motorola’s design philosophy for its iconic mobile devices where it inspires to engage users emotionally and rationally through strong, iconic forms.

The Motorola RAZR V3 cell phone is a classic example of the rectangle silhouette which features design that centers on chiseled, super-thin, targeted, defined looks. Its distinctive silhouette has been designed to give the product character and personality, and the stark contrast in shape creates intrigue and evokes an emotional response from consumers.

“Motorola’s design mission of ‘Purity with Purpose’ aims to stay true to the design form and yet not compromise on functionality,” said Allen Burnes, VP, Mobile Devices, High Growth Markets, Motorola. “Motorola’s design mission which is clearly communicated in the RAZR V3 devotes attention to creating products that humanize technology and put the user at the heart of it all; resulting in un-compromised beauty based on the strength of minimalism and functionality.”

Riding on the success of RAZR V3, Motorola has since launched the RAZR V3 Special Edition Black, a strong iconic mobile device that underscore the design ethos of the brand. Additionally, Motorola plans to launch the new Motorola SLVR V8, PEBL V6 and RAZR V3, inspirational handsets that are expected to win over a new legion of Motorola fans.

In conjunction with Asia’s leading magazine for mobile telecoms operators, the Asian MobileNews Awards 2005 will once again recognize the achievements of companies and business people as industry leaders. Independent and democratic, a Mobie (as the Asian MobileNews Award is affectionately called) is the only accolade that credits outstanding companies and individuals and is peer-selected.

"It hardly came as a surprise to us when our readers voted the Motorola RAZR V3 as the Mobile Phone of the Year as well as the terminal with the Best Mobile Phone Design. With the RAZR V3, Motorola has redefined our perception of mobile handset design," said Angela McFeeters, Deputy Publisher and Editor, Charlton Media Group

The Motorola RAZR V3 has won numerous awards worldwide in recognition for its break-though design, such as the Most Innovative Product in the United Kingdom’s mobile phone industry’s most prestigious award show - Mobile News Awards 2005.

Motorola’s cell phones keep getting better

Article by Peter Rojas

Motorola has been on a hot streak lately with its stylish RAZR, SLVR, ROKR and PEBL mobiles. What could possibly be next? An exclusive preview of its new lineup reveals that was just the beginning:

Removing any doubt as to the level of commitment it has to the iDEN network in the wake of the Nextel acquisition by Sprint PCS, Motorola has two groundbreaking iDEN phones in the queue — the OVER and the NEVR. Both handsets prepare customers for the eventual shutting down of iDEN by offering push-to-talk-to-yourself technology. According to Motorola CEO Ed ZANDR, the former handset should appear long before the high-concept later one. “Lots of people think that iDEN is disappearing faster than Starr Jones. But when people ask me about the current state of iDEN technology, I simply tell them it’s OVER. When they ask me when we’ll see the next generation of iDEN, I tell them it’s NEVR.”

Nextel is not the only fading carrier that Motorola will support. In helping Cingular deal with the poor customer service reputation of the former AT&T Wireless, the “new Cingular” will offer the sleek Motorola WYNR. Dialing the customer service number from this mobile will play a series of timed recorded loops that include “I’m so sorry for that inconvenience,” “We really value your business,” and “I’ll speak to my manager about crediting your account.”

Seeking to capitalize on the current trend of breaking into celebrities’ cell phones, Motorola will release the HAKR, which provides easy access to personal data for would-be snoopers. Motorola first designed something so small it was wearable, but company anthropological researchers determined that Paris Hilton is often averse to wearables, including clothing. A version of the HAKR customized for singer Jessica Simpson is simply being described as the industry’s first not-very-smartphone.

Danger Research defended its market share lead in hackable phones. The developers of the Sidekick II responded, “Ms. Hilton could have easily prevented the hacking of her cell phone by using symbols in her password. The design defect that we engineered into the Sidekick II keyboard prevents symbols from being backlit, so hackers would have no way of entering those characters in the dark.” Danger also announced that, while it sees no threat from Motorola, it will be changing its name to DANJR.

Working closely with Apple, Motorola will also show the second generation of its iTunes-compatible phones. Unlike the ROKR, this phone will look exactly like an iPod photo and even include trademark white earbuds. It will be dubbed the POZR.

Digging deeper into younger demographics will be a host of phones aimed at young urban hipsters (SLAKR), college students (KEGR, now with BRETHLYZR technology), image-conscious high school students (LUZR, which includes a handy SPELCHEKR) and pre-schoolers (REKR). There will even be a phone for parents of colicky newborns (SUFR).

Industry reaction to the new mobile lineup was positive. A Microsoft spokesperson said, “Motorola is obviously on to something with these catchy names. That’s why we’re delighted they’ve chosen to support Microsoft Windows Compact Embedded Mobile Smartphone Edition 2006.” Panatoshysung CEO Akira Steurenberger said, “Hey, I’m just a fictional character from your column about the fake CES press conference. You better not be using me for a cheap link...”

Consumer reaction to the phones was also strong. A snarky Engadget comment poster cowering behind an anonymous e-mail address said, “I’m somehow compelled to announce that don’t get the point of this article. Is he arguing that Apple is acting like a monopolist?”

Beyond this lineup, rumors continue to swirl that Motorola will enter the rapidly growing market beyond humans with the ROVR, its first cell phone for canines. Using Bowlingual technology, humans will be able to carry on conversations with dogs as part of “man’s best friends and family” plans offered by carriers. Bowlingual’s accuracy has been verified by the industry’s most respected pet psychics.
