Motorola RIZR struggles to RIZE above the competition

Motorola RIZR mobile phone Motorola have also announced the Motorola RIZR today.

After the RAZR, the KRZR, and now the RIZR, Motorola's gone mad with its mobile phone launches, and will soon be running out of letters to wrap around the original RAZR!

The RIZR is a step up from the KRZR, offering a 2 megapixel camera, quad-band, MP3 player and Bluetooth with A2DP-stereo compatibility, all in a slider form factor.

Still not exactly setting world alight though. Originally known as the Capri, the RIZR is set to replace the SLVR.

Motorola KRZR mobile phone closed Motorola have also announced the Motorola KRZR, a mobile phone that was originally thought to be the new RAZR, but which turns out to be a disappointingly low-spec'd phone.

Originally called the Canary, the KRZR comes in either GSM or CDMA variants, and offers a paltry 1.3 megapixel camera, MP3 player, MPEG 4 video, and er...that's it!

Given that this was originally thought to be the new RAZR, it's a relief that Motorola fooled us all by sneaking the RAZR maxx on us, as the KRZR definitely disappoints.

MOTORAZR maxx - finally a RAZR to be proud of

Motorola RAZR maxx mobile phone closed Meet the new Motorola MOTORAZR maxx - a new variant of Motorola's legendary RAZR that's finally been endowed with some long-overdue features to bring the RAZR firmly into 2006 (well - maybe 2005, but at least they're trying!).

Top of the list is HSDPA, which enables data to be transferred at speeds of up to 3.6Mbps. The rest of the features are nothing special - MP3 player, 2 megapixel camera, 15fps video - but with HSDPA and the stunning looks of the RAZR now slightly enhanced, the MOTORAZR maxx offers enough to ensure Motorola can squeeze a few more years' of sales out their ageing warhorse.
