Motorola’s Planning a RAZR-Based Smartphone
"We just got some scoopage on a Motorola smartphone that is coming out next year. A source deep within the company has confirmed for us that they’re gunning for RIM with a smartphone, codenamed “RAZRberry” that’s just as thin and has the same styling as their RAZR V3 cellphone, but is wide enough to fit a QWERTY mini-keyboard. Our source couldn’t confirm the operating system, but the RAZRberry is likely to run on some flavor of Windows Mobile and come out sometime in the middle of 2005."Motorola has my attention now! I was really interested in the MPx220, but that's faded off with the release of the Audiovox/C500. However, I would love to see a Windows Mobile Smartphone based on the RAZR design.

Sounds sweet, but I doubt mid 2005 will happen unless they already had it in place and nearly done. The MPX220 took way too long to get done. Either way I will add that to my phone purchases next year and get the MPX220 next week.

That's why I'll be satisfied with my MPx200 for a few more months. There's always somethin new just around the corner! I'd rather wait for now.

this is what I am dreaming about for 2 years already: to have MS Smartphone that has attachable thumb-keyboard.
Keyboard in voq is unusable and it is too big device, so attachable thumb QWERTY keyboard or built-in QWERTY keyboard (without the hinge in the middle) would be super!
Oh, I keep dreaming... |

RAZR + Windows Mobile + BlackBerry = Wow 8O
All the right ingredients. Moto seems to have all the right ideas: MPx220, MPx and now this. But I am concerned about their execution skills.
As for the keyboard, they can go with the BlackBerry 7100 style keyboard. Two letters per key. Forgetting what it is called.

The keyboard would be a really cool option, and when you add the small footprint, and strong casing... Oh, If this is real, it's going to be amazing. 8)

I second that.
Moto seems to have a very good hardware engineering team. And also is good when it comes to being creative about product designs.
But the integration, software and testing is in the dumps! |
