Motorola Release Thin Cell Phones
Motorola released two new cell phones inspired by the Razr. The Krzr, a narrower Razr with removable memory and a metallic gloss finish. The handset is slightly thicker than the Razr, however, due to its 2-megapixel camera.
But that wasn't all, one corny name went to another, the Rizr, which combines a sliding form factor with a 2-megapixel camera and can be turned sideways for landscape-style photographs.
Both phones offer built-in music players and improved navigation and contacts software, according to a research note from Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. The Rizr is a GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset while the Krzr will support both CDMA2000 1x EV-DO and GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks.
The devices are expected to sell in the $200 to $300 range.
Motorola also released three phones for HSDPA networks, showcasing the Razr XX and Razr Maxx, which are designed for high-speed streaming audio and video. Last, but not least, Motorola showed off the Slvr L7c, a candybar phone EV-DO compatible.
