The Motorola RAZR V3 mobile phone

Motorola RAZR V3 mobile phone is a thin clamshell mobile/cellular camera phone designed and manufactured by Motorola. The mobile phone was initially regarded as an exclusive fashion phone, with a high price of $600 with service agreement and $800 without. However, in 2005 the mobile phone entered the mass-market as a mid-priced phone. In 2005, PC World put the RAZR at #12 in The 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years.
