Motorola has created an international cell phone in a class all its own; the RAZR. This GSM quad band world phone is the perfect combination of sleek looks and functionality. The RAZR is an executive class world cell phone with an array of features including MPEG4 video playback, Bluetooth wireless technology, built in digital camera, MP3 ringtones and more. Its large color display on the outside as well as the inside allows you to see whos calling without opening the phone. Located directly above the outside display lies the lens for the built-in VGA camera which is able to take photos at 3 resolutions of up to 640 x 480 px. Since the lens is exposed at all time its made from hardened glass to avoid scratches that may occur.

Motorola paid attention to even the smallest details with its perfectly flat, chemically-etched keypad to allow the clamshell phone measure an incredible 13.9 mm thick when closed. This ultra thin design is made from aircraft-grade aluminum for stability creating the cell phone durable enough to withstand everyday wear and tear in addition to the occasional bump or drop. The Motorola RAZR is a quad band GSM phone, meaning with the right SIM card it will work anywhere in the world that has a cell phone network, making the RAZR perfect for the executive traveller.
