Motorola RAZR2 V8 mobile phone deals

The Motorola RAZR2 V8 is the successor to the incredibly popular RAZR V3. Unlike the V3i and V3x, which were lukewarm updates, the RAZR2 is a true next-generation RAZR phone with looks and style to match its impressive list of features. Available in two forms, the V8 is a quad band GSM phone and the V9 also adds 3G and HSDPA. Apart from the addition of 3G and a microSD slot on the RAZR2 V9, they are more or less identical.

The RAZR2 is instantly recognisable as a MOTORAZR phone, it has the usual metallic finish with hardened glass to protect the new 2 inch exterior display. Flick it open and on the inside is a smart new keypad with an even larger, 2.2 inch display with a 240x320 pixel resolution. The camera on the RAZR2 is a 2 megapixel job, which unfortunately doesn't have autofocus. Motorola appear to be pitching the RAZR2 as more of a music phone, it has stereo Bluetooth, a new media player with MPEG4 video playback and dedicated touch-sensitive music keys beneath the front display. The V8 comes with 420MB of internal memory while the V9 has only 45MB but has the addition of a microSD memory card slot.
