very sexy Moto phone V3 Razor
Gizmodo just posted info on a very small, thin Moto phone. It's very impressive looking. It's not a mockup either. I'm posting since I've never heard of this phone before.

Unfortunately, it's not a really practical phone as the battery life is pathetic. Can you say "movie star phone?"
Still impressive.

Yes - I agree it's very cool. It's interesting to note the shift in "coolness" from Nokia to Motorola. Who would have imagined it a year ago?

Moto is impressing me as of late. The engineers are working overtime.
Bengalboy (known for getting the MPx engineering samples) also has had the V3 for some time now to play with. He's got detailed shots of it. The keypad is just too cool! Others have said it has a Tron feel. Again, not a very practical phone for those who are on it all the time, but sexy nevertheless.

The review link I posted previously should be live by 9AM tomorrow.
Moto also had a technoloy presentation today. Watch it!

Why am I not surprised? He's become a demigod in HoFo. Darn the lucky dude. :P

I still prefer Nokia. The Motorola menu system is horrible. But agreed that it looks damn sexy!

Decision decision ... mpx220 or v3 ...

I think the credit should go more to the marketing/design guys.
Without them, motorola phones will still be just so-so looking devices with lots of features.

I have no clue on how R&D works at Moto or design company for that matter, but if the designers draw something cool, the engineers still have to figure out how to cram all the cool stuff into the package the ID folks drew up. So both get the credit and everyone is happy! 
Did I mention the packaging is sexy too!?
