The Motorola Razr V3, popularly called simply the Razr (pronounced /ˈreɪzər/ like "razor"), is a clamshell style cell phone developed by Motorola and initially released in November 2004, the first device using the RAZR moniker, which at the time was also marketed as MOTORAZR. With its unique and then-thin aluminium body, coupled with a high price, the Razr V3 was initially positioned as a desirable premium phone; following price reductions, it then became extremely successful. In the United States the V3 (and its variants) was the most popular cell phone in 2005, 2006 and 2007[1] and remained best-selling until November 2008.[2][3]
The Motorola Razr has become an icon of mid-2000s popular culture.[4][5] The Razr's design would strongly influence Motorola's later mobile phone products, and the V3 itself received several updates to form the RAZR line: the V3i, V3x, V3xx and MAXX, which included changes such as improved cameras, expandable memory, and some added 3G cellular connectivity as opposed to the original's 2G. The Razr series was succeeded in July 2007 by the Motorola Razr2 series.
