Motorola Razr for CDMA Users
Motorola is marketing different phones for men and women. Moto’s
newest line of pink and blue Razr offspring seems to assume
that there are men who will prefer blue and women who will want
the pink one. They’re probably right!
The classic Silver Motorola Razr captured the lion’s share
of new cell phone buying over the past year or so, causing Motorola
to encroach on Nokia’s enviable leading position.
Motorola is planning to cash in on its huge success with the
razor thin look and feel of the original Razr v3. The NPD Group,
a leading cellular market researcher, found that Motorola cell
phone sales accounted for 30% of the 31.6 million cell phones
sold in the third quarter of 2005. The Motorola V3i with iTunes
software and the Pink and Blue cell phones promise to give Motorola
an ever-increasing share of the cell phone market.
People who care about how they look or want to make a statement,
will be the first to get their Motorola Razr fix. These Razr
thin phones are ceating a lot of attention - making them must-haves
in some circles.
Mazal Tov!The Motorola Razor family is growing by four new
members; Motorola RAZR Pink (RAZR PNK?) and Razr Blue, (RAZR
BLU?) plus two new versions - Motorola CDMA RAZR for Verizon
with EVDO and Motorola RAZR V3i (with iTunes). The new Razr
phones include all the great features as the original models.
The Blue and Pink versions are really style updates designed
to make your cell phone an accessory - like a stylish watch.
The new CDMA version of Razr (for Verizon) will satisfy the
appetite of Verizon Wireless subscribers who have long ogled
over Cingular and T-Mobile’s Razr offerings. The Razr V3i aims
to redeem Motorola’s slightly tarnished reputation when it comes
to MP3 phones. Unlike the Rocker which had only music going
for it, with the Razr V3i the MP3 capability is essentially
an add-on.
The Motorola has not made a statement about the chosen carrier
for the Motorola v3i many are speculating that Cingular is the
choice. Besides being Razr thin like the original Razr v3 the
new v3i has added appeal with the inclusion of the Apple i-Tunes
software like on the Motorola ROKR released in September in
by Cingular, Apple and Motorola. Cingular just slashed the price
of the Motorola ROKR by 40% and several leading cell phone dealers
like AmericanCell and YouNeverCall now have the Motorola phone
available for free with the purchase of a new Cingular plan.
Until now the Motorola Rokr is the only cell phone around that
plays tunes from the iTunes Music Store. Another new addition
to the ever increasing Motorola Razr family is new Razr VC which
operates on networks of CDMA standard wireless EVDO. Christmas
holiday season shopping has now been enhanced with the inclusion
of the Razr V3i which sports a 1.23-megapixel digital camera
with 8x digital zoom, video capture and a full-screen viewfinder.
Additional features include a hot plugging memory card, a display
with sixty-five K color support and built-in Bluetooth. For
the late summer-early fall season Motorola earned a profit of
$1.75 billion on revenue of $9.42 billion. Motorola stated that
its monetary gains for this period were all due to the tremendous
success of the Motorola Razr v3. Now Motorola is hoping to further
push its financial gains for the next quarter! We’ll wait and
see.
