Motorola Razr V3 Cell Phone
The stylish young Brazilian women in my office both have this.
Sure, the Razr has all the latest, handiest features—Bluetooth, MPEG4 video playback, speakerphone—but that’s not the reason anyone buys it: Its success is largely due to its standard-setting style. An instant design classic when it was introduced, the Motorola RAZR V3c Phone (Verizon Wireless) is both supersleek and, ahem, razor thin; its finish, whether in brushed metallic silver or the just-released old-school black, is lush; and its neon-blue backlighting gives it a slick, futuristic vibe. The clincher is the keypad: not individual buttons, but numbers chemically etched into a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. This phone debuted in 2005 at a wallet-shaking $499 but is now available for as little as $99 after rebates and contract.
It has a camera, but unlike Jack Bauer’s cell phone, it doesn’t capture images of serial numbers on the pagers inside the bad guys’ pockets; it does capture vaguely face-like images of an office party at a restaurant.
