Motorola Razr Maxx


Motorola Razr Maxx V6, also released as simply Motorola Razr Maxx, is a clamshell mobile phone by Motorola, announced in July 2006 as part of the RAZR series. It is a HSDPA 3.5G phone with a 2.0-megapixel camera with LED flash, a screen with 240x320 QVGA display and 50 megabytes of internal storage.
Released at the end of 2006 in Europe and on April 27, 2007, in the US, the RAZR maxx is slightly thicker and wider than the Motorola RAZR V3/V3i but has similarly thin profile as opposed to the preceding 3G model, RAZR V3x; its dimensions are nearly identical to the V3xx, a model announced at the same time as the maxx. It has a glass fascia with external touch-sensitive controls for MP3s, a feature that appeared on the KRZR K1, and a soft-touch rubberized finish similar to that on the PEBL U6.

Specifications

Release and variants

This handset was released on Telstra's NextG network under the original name "Motorola Razr maxx V6". It was compatible with both the original 2100 MHz band and the NextG band, 850 MHz. It was branded with the Telstra logo and on-screen graphics and was released by Telstra for outright purchase in late 2006 at a price of about A$800. The phone was repackaged late in 2007 and sold with a prepaid plan for $250, locked for use only with Telstra SIM cards. Many of the post-paid phones sold by Telstra in 2007 were inadvertently locked.
The RAZR maxx Ve is the Verizon Wireless exclusive variant in the United States designed to work on EV-DO instead of HSDPA and CDMA2000 1x instead of GSM/UMTS. The Verizon Wireless version became available on April 24, 2007. It did not feature a second camera on the inside of the phone; instead, there was a shutter button for focusing and picture taking.
