Moto KRZR & RIZR: New Kids on Block

(Cellphone on the leftmost is KRAZR, RIZR is the second from right side and other two are technically advanced versions of RAZR)

Motorola has placed new kids on block, extending its range of slim clamshell phones. Company wants to repeat the RAZR success story (The company has shipped more than 50 million Razrs since their introduction in November 2004.). Two technically rich mobile phones, the RAZR XX and RAZR MAXX are extensions of RAZRs while the new ones are KRZR (read Crazer) and RIZR (read riser). KRZR is more than one centimetre narrower than the traditional RAZR plus a music player and a 2-megapixel camera with 8X digital zoom, while the RIZR is Motorola's first slide phone. KRZR comes in two versions, one is GSM and other is CDMA version for Sprint and Verizon. The sliding RIZR can be operated whether open or closed and can play music and video. Both models feature a 2-megapixel camera and storage can be expanded to 1GB.

The RAZR MAXX delivers the classic RAZR clamshell styling, but adds a front-mounted VGA camera for 3G video calling. RAZR MAXX can take photos up to 2-megapixels and can accommodate 2GB of MicroSD storage. MAXX aslo incorporates the HSDPA high-speed download system for data transfers of up to 3.6Mbps. Both 3G as well as EDGE are supported by RAZR XX and RAZR MAXX. As both support HSDPA (read super 3G), a fast internet connection upto 3.6Mbps can be achieved.

As KRZR is due in stores during the third quarter; the RZR in the fourth quarter so wait for that and meanwhile you can look up the gallery.
