High-Speed Downlink Packet Access ( HSDPA) is a 3G (third generation Mobile telephony Communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution ( EDGE) Enhanced GPRS ( EGPRS) or IMT Single Carrier ( IMT-SC) It is extremely similar in appearance to the compact V3i design, but incorporates an improved feature set with a 1. 3 megapixel camera in place of the 1. 23 megapixel, 50 MB of internal memory, support for microSD and Bluetooth A2DP. microSD is a format for removable Flash memory cards It is derived from SanDisk TransFlash and is used mainly in mobile Bluetooth is a wireless protocol utilizing short-range communications technology facilitating data transmission over short distances from fixed and/or mobile devices creating wireless A Bluetooth profile is a wireless interface specification for Bluetooth -based communication between devices Like the V3x, it is also equipped with a secondary screen and a higher resolution 240x320 pixel (QVGA) main screen. ^[11]. The V3xx was made available for purchase internationally on the Three network in November 2006, and is now available on at&t (formerly Cingular) for $149. 99 with a new 2-year contract. The secondary camera is not available in the USA. The built-in GPU, manufactured by Nvidia (model GoForce 4800) is capable of rendering 3D images through OpenGL ES. The multinational NVIDIA Corporation ( (ɪnˈvɪdiə specializes in the manufacture of graphics-processor technologies for Workstations The NVIDIA GoForce line of chipsets used mainly in handheld devices such as PDA and Mobile phones.

(All menuing delays common to the slower V3 platform are gone). With the new CPU available, the V3xx Phone now also includes a fast USB V2. 0 for downloading ringtones/images/mp3 files quickly. (older V3's were limited to USB V1. 1)

Unlike with the V3 and V3i (both of which were quad band GSM and thus worked equally well on any GSM network in the world) the V3xx comes in different variants depending on the local frequency bands used for GSM and UMTS/HSDPA. The North American V3xx is quad band (850 MHz/900 MHz/1800 MHz/1900 MHz) GSM and dual band (850 MHz/1900 MHz) UMTS/HSDPA, whereas the version sold in Europe and Asia is tri band (900 MHz/1800 MHz/1900 MHz) GSM and single band (2. 1 GHz) UMTS/HSDPA. This is likely due to the need to fit the internal components of the V3xx into a small casing; as of early 2007 global phones that support quad-band GSM and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA are considerably bulkier than the V3xx.

The Verizon Wireless version became available on April 24th, 2007.

The Verizon Wireless version, the RAZR maxx Ve, does not have the second camera on the inside of the phone. Instead, there is a shutter button for focusing and picture taking. The Ve will feature Verizon's menu system, but is said to support OBEX profiles, unlike Verizon's current RAZR V3m.

RAZR²

Main article: Motorola RAZR²

The new, more sleek and more stable design of the RAZR came out in North America in July 2007. The Motorola RAZR² is the successor to the popular RAZR. The new RAZR model comes in three almost identical models the V8 V9m and the V9 it is 2 mm thinner than its This new RAZR includes more features such as Crystal talk (a feature designed to improve telephone audio quality) and a touch sensitive external screen (used for replying to text messages, listening to music, and other features). Also, sturdier materials such as stainless steel will replace aluminum in the RAZR. The new models are the V8, the V9, and the V9m. ^[13]

Developments

The original V3 was intended to be a low-selling "halo product" to promote the Motorola brand. ^[14] The phone was comparable in functionality to other cell phones when first released, but due to advancements in the cell phone industry, is now of relatively limited functionality. It had only 5. 5 MB of usable memory capacity, upgradeable to an absolute maximum of about 10 MB by modding the phone (see below for details). Modding is a Slang expression that is derived from the verb " modify " Furthermore it had no storage expansion slot and a low camera resolution of 0. 3 megapixels (Resolution: 640x480 pixels). In Digital imaging, a pixel ( pict ure el ement is the smallest piece of information in an image Image resolution describes the detail an Image holds The term applies equally to Digital images film images and other types of images

The newer models (V3i and V3x) addressed these issues by increasing memory capacity to 30. 8 MB and 62. 8 respectively. Camera resolutions were increased to 1. 23 megapixels for the V3i, and 2. In Digital imaging, a pixel ( pict ure el ement is the smallest piece of information in an image 0 megapixels for the V3x. The hinge mechanism was also reinforced. For the V3x, Motorola slightly modified the keypad layout in response to complaints about it being difficult to use. The keys are bigger and more widely spaced, and rubber spacers have been added in between, instead of the laser-etchings on the metallic surface itself as seen previously.

Criticisms

According to a survey by Mobile, 78% of RAZR users would not buy another Motorola handset because of poor usability. This figure was even higher for first-time users. ^[15][16] One company ranked it 11th out of 13 for ease-of-use, when compared to competitors' products — the RAZR required extra steps and had poor usability, meaning that users had a 47% success rate for a given task. ^[17] Also, many people dislike the interaction with it, saying that it's "awful"^[18] and "slow". ^[19]

The software user interface (UI) is regarded as clumsy and ill-designed. The user interface (or Human Computer Interface) is the aggregate of means by which people&mdash the users '&mdash interact with the System For example, when composing a text message, the RAZR loses the entire message when the phone is flipped closed or if the user returns to the idle screen. Each message must be explicitly saved by the user before exiting the message editor. Other examples are when the battery is low: The RAZR emits a loud beep every few minutes, causing problems when people are sleeping or in business meetings. The beeping can only be disabled by putting the phone in silent mode, switching it off, or plugging it in for battery recharging.

Other criticisms are:

• The clock is obstructed from view during phone calls (however the V3xx model can display this)
• The UI is prone to frequent crashes and has slow response times when opening menus
• The main menu uses low quality 8-bit (256-color) icons. This is in contrast to the 32-bit anti-aliased icons used on newer phones such as the K800i from Sony Ericsson
• Postal addresses cannot be stored on a V3 but can be stored on a V3i and V3x
• The maximum size of a multimedia message is 100 KB, limiting the length of a video clip to approximately 3 or 4 seconds. The Sony Ericsson K800i, and its variant the Sony Ericsson K790, are mobile phones of their class from Sony Ericsson. Sony Ericsson is a Joint venture established in 2001 by the Japanese Consumer electronics Company Sony Corporation and the

Complaints were also made about dust accumulating between the V3's plastic screen and LCD glass, possibly through an external side button. Access to the dust requires peeling off the plastic cover, usually followed by a replacement cover. ^[20] Some of the RAZR's problems still exist on newer Motorola phones, causing analysts to assume a corporate innovation problem. ^[21]

U. S. network restrictions

Verizon intentionally restricts otherwise-available functionality in V3c and V3m models. Such phones are unable to transfer files via wireless Bluetooth (OBEX), forcing users to purchase ring tones and transfer photographs to home computers via Verizon's paid PixPlace service. OBEX (abbreviation of OBject EXchange, also termed IrOBEX) is a communications protocol that facilitates the exchange of binary objects between devices However, through certain unsanctioned modifications, some of these capabilities can be re-enabled. The V3c and V3m handsets sold through Sprint, US Cellular, and Alltel do not suffer from such limitations. Sprint Nextel Corporation ( is a Telecommunications company based in Overland Park, Kansas. United States Cellular Corporation, dba US Cellular ( owns and operates the sixth largest wireless telecommunications network in the United States serving 6 Alltel Corporation is the fifth largest Wireless Telecommunications company in the United States with 13

Due to many Sprint customers complaining about less than expected battery life, Motorola has begun to offer free high-capacity batteries to Sprint customers who contact Motorola's customer service line with battery life issues.

Cultural impact

The RAZR has been said to be the "iPod" of mobile phones. iPod is a popular brand of Portable media players designed and marketed by Apple Inc Being the slimmest phone during its release in 2004 , it easily stood out amongst other phone models. It has also been one of the most popular mobile phones since its first release, having been spotted in the hands of celebrities and businessmen alike, it is frequently seen in movies and TV shows and is also being used by the Dutch Prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende. The Netherlands ( Dutch:, ˈnedərlɑnt is the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which consists of the Netherlands the Netherlands Jan Peter Balkenende (pronounced ˈjɑn ˈpetər ˈbɑɫkənɛndə) (born 7 May 1956 is a Christian Democratic politician who has been the Prime Minister of the ^[22]

In popular culture

Since its release the RAZR has become identified as a 'fashion' product and an iconic cell phone. ^[23] The RAZR has since been used in several television shows and featured in several movies. Contestants on the NBC adventure reality show "Treasure Hunters" were given RAZRs for communication with the host and each other throughout the season. ^[24] The Product Red edition of the RAZR was launched by Oprah and Bono for charity. Product Red, styled as (PRODUCTRED, is a Brand licensed to partner companies such as Oprah Gail Winfrey (born January 29 1954 often referred to simply as Oprah, is an American ^[25] It's popularity has greatly faded though in recent years to newer models.
