Motorola has announced three hot new slim phones to the market that are sure to wow you with their sleek designs and fancy features. Check out our line show of the latest successors to the Motorola RAZR.
The instant the superthin Motorola RAZR V3 swept into the mobile world almost two years ago, it sparked a mobile phone design revolution that created millions of fans, several successors and a host of imitators. So if you write about mobile phones as much as we do, you might be getting a bit tired of talking about the RAZR. It's not that it's a bad phone, we're just amazed that Motorola has managed to ride the wave of hype for so long. And now to our further surprise, that wave shows no sign of cresting. Motorola has announced three new phones coming to Australia that follow in the RAZR's thin footsteps and one handset styled after the candy bar Motorola SLVR.
First identified as the Canary earlier this year, the Motorola KRZR K1 has a premium assortment of features, including Bluetooth, high-resolution camera, MicroSD card slot and a digital music player, but the real story, as was the case with the RAZR, is its design. Rather than wearing a boring coat of flimsy plastic, the KRZR K1 is finished in polished chrome and a plate of hardened glass.
The Motorola RIZR resembles the SLVR at first glance, but a closer look reveals that it has a slider form factor. Features include world phone support, a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a digital music player. Finally, there's the Motorola RAZR MAXX. As an HSDPA version of the original RAZR, it also promises a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a digital music player.

I work in Australia, 120km out to sea off the Victorian NSW Border. My RAZR MAXX has worked perfectly the whole time in all sorts of weather. The most powerful phone i have owned. Well done Motorola.
