Motorola Razr V3 Makes its Canadian Entrance Exclusively With Rogers Wireless24 February 2005
In a major innovation in design and engineering, the Razr V3 team has created a phone of firsts. The combination of metals, such as aircraft-grade aluminum, with new advances including an internal antenna and a chemically-etched keypad, has led to the formation of a thin device measuring just 13.9mm. The quad band ( 850/900/1800/1900 MHz ) Motorola Razr V3 operates exclusively in Canada on the Rogers Wireless GSM/GPRS/EDGE network, the largest integrated voice and data network in Canada, and provides users with global roaming capabilities in many countries around the world.*
The small dimension and sensory experience of the Motorola Razr V3 does not compromise the functionality and performance of the product. The handset includes an integrated speakerphone, colour internal and external displays, video playback, integrated camera, MP3 ring tunes, and downloadable Java™ games. The Class 1 Bluetooth ® wireless technology of the Razr V3 makes it capable of communicating with compatible Bluetooth accessories up to one hundred metres ( 300 feet ) away, making it the ideal wireless phone for those who want to sport the eye-catching design while still staying connected.
To make ownership of the Motorola Razr v3 even more enticing, Motorola has announced an elite program to support the handset. New owners should visit www.moremoto.com for more information and to gain access to this exclusive program that will ensure they get the most out of their Motorola Razr V3.
With its innovative design, the Motorola Razr V3 has been taking the wireless world by storm. “At Motorola, we are always striving to pioneer the latest in mobile technology – whether that is in design, software, or experience,” said Michael Hortie, Vice President and General Manager, Motorola Canada. “When we coupled the breakthrough design of the Razr V3 with the compelling features and inherent quality of a Motorola cell phone, we knew that people at the forefront of mobile trends would love this handset.”
“Rogers Wireless is pleased to introduce the Motorola Razr V3 – our thinnest clamshell handset,” said Raj Doshi, Vice President, Product and Hardware Management, Rogers Wireless. “The quad band Razr V3 is a great choice for customers who desire the latest in innovative design and technology and the reliability of Rogers Wireless’ network superiority and global roaming capabilities.”
