Motorola RAZR V8 – The Second Generation RAZR
November 25, 2007
The second generation of Motorola’s RAZR phone is not just an upgrade. It has been redesigned with the most unsurpassed features possible, including their new CrystalTalk technology which blocks out loud background noise and prioritizes your voice. Going down the highway at 65 miles per hour with the windows down is no match for this phone. Motorola’s claim is that CrystalTalk’s digital processor identifies speech patterns by the narrow range of frequencies it falls into, and by regular pauses. It rejects background noises and chatter, which merge into a continuous tone. It works in both directions cleaning up your voice and the person’s voice that you are talking to. The only problem is that CrystalTalk doesn’t compensate for poor cell phone reception. That’s not the only thing they’ve upgraded though, so don’t stop reading just quite yet. Motorola has outfitted the RAZR with a brand new 770mAh (milliamps an hour) battery that boosts this phone’s standby time to 330 hours and talk time to 470 minutes. They have also put a 500Mhz processor, making it almost 10 times faster than the old RAZR (Note that an average computer has a 1000Mhz processor, only twice as much). The camera has been upgraded to 2.0 megapixels and 8x digital zoom for much better image quality. Finally, this phone is fitted with 2 gigabytes of on board memory allowing you to hold up to 1000 songs and take almost 2 hours of video. The touch sensitive screen makes it a perfect music player for anyone. On the bad side, the phone isn’t cheap. Right now, you can expect to pay a whopping $400 for it. Motorola.com
