The Motorola RAZR (razr pronounced razor), at 13.9mm thick is a thin clamshell camera phone, with the most popular V3 model released in November 2004. The Motorola was initially regarded as an exclusive fashion phone, with a high price of $500 with service agreement. However, in 2005 the phone entered the mass-markets in the UK for $89.99, in Australia for $299 from Virgin Mobile, in Mexico for $2999 from Telcel, in Canada for $449.99 (99.99 with a 3 year contract) and in the United Stated for $99.99 after rebate (from T-Mobile and Cingular Wireless the original US carrier for the RAZR) making it an upper end-budget phone.

The most characteristic features of Motorola razr are its thinner and the positioning of its internal antenna at the base below the mouthpiece. By July 2005 Motorola reported to analysts that the RAZR v3 was the most popular clamshell in Europe, Something that it owes almost entirely to its distinctive looks and small size. It was one of the first phones to have a 2.2 inch diagonal LCD screen which supports 262,000 colors.
