Michel Gondry’s RAZR2 Ad
6:00AM Jason Chen | We last saw Gondry working his craft for HP’s money, but now he’s taken his weirdly fluid visuals and made a 60 second spot for the Moto RAZR 2 as well. If you’re a Gondry fan, you’ll be sure to enjoy the fact that he takes a boring spec sheet and turns it into a subtle, but interesting montage of cellphone features. I’d like to see the director work his magic selling Windows Vista Service Pack 1 in a similar manner. [Super Punch via Neatorama] More »

5:00PM Brian Lam | As expected, that hot damn RAZR2 just went on sale for $250 little green doggies at Sprint. This is a far cry from the $500 that the original RAZR went for at its launch. Expect other carriers to be following suit now or later with their RAZR2 variants. [Sprint] More »
Four of the Five RAZR2s Reviewed (Verdict: What a Difference a Carrier Makes)
11:50PM Wilson Rothman | Sascha Segan at PC Mag just worked his way through testing the AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless and Alltel RAZR2 models. Though all RAZR2s have similar specs—”luxurious metal-and-glass design,” 240-MHz processor, roughly 100 MB of memory, a 2-megapixel camera and “the biggest, most beautiful external screen you’ve ever seen on a flip phone”—each carrier treated this differently. We gave you a nice run-down of feature differences, but here’s how the actual user experience differs from carrier to carrier: More »
The Unknown Differences Between the RAZR2, Carrier to Carrier
10:17AM Brian Lam | Apparently, every major carrier is getting a RAZR2. But that doesn’t mean they’re identical. Between the stores, network technology, and the custom UIs, each is different…and some better than others. Here’s is a brief guide to which RAZR2 has what: galleryPost('razr2variants', 8, 'RAZR2 Variants'); AU: This is actually pretty interesting even though it has bugger all to do with our local scene. Seeing that a phone set to be marketed as the same thing on different networks can have genuinely different features and hardware on board can be a big problem as a buyer. If you stick with your network whatever the case, you won’t get a choice. But if you want the best handset of the bunch, it pays to know what’s what. -SB More »
The Full List of RAZR2 Carriers; Almost Everybody Gets In On the Fun
3:48AM Adam Frucci | We’ve got exclusive word that the full list of carriers for the Motorola RAZR2 will be AT&T, Alltel, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Only Sprint and Verizon have announced it so far, but look for the others to follow suit shortly. Motorola isn’t messing around with iPhone-style marriage to one carrier; they want anyone to be able to get on board with their new flagship. So if you’re waiting to get a fancy new haptic-touchscreen-featuring RAZR2, don’t go canceling your contract to get one; you don’t need to. More »
Sprint Launches Motorola RAZR 2
2:45AM Charlie White | After Verizon announced its launch of the RAZR 2, now Sprint jumps on board, saying it will also launch the new Motorola clamshell. Sprint’s touting its RAZR2’s ability to watch videos on its 2″ external screen, even when the flip is closed. But just like Verizon, the company says little about the phone itself, rather it shills for its services including NFL Mobile, the Sprint music store, Sprint TV with 50 channels of live video and the company’s version of TeleNav, giving you turn-by-turn GPS directions. It goes on sale August 22 for $249 with a two-year agreement. Well, if Sprint doesn’t want to talk about the beauty of the RAZR2, we’ll just show it to you in this gallery: galleryPost('motorazrmay15', 8, 'motorazrmay15'); More »
