The phone was initially regarded as an exclusive fashion phone, with a high price of $500 with service agreement and $800 without. However, in 2005 the phone entered the mass-market as a mid-priced phone.

As of September 2006, the phone was available in the UK from £70 from Tesco, in Australia for $200 from Optus and Telstra, in Mexico for MXN$2,399 from Telcel, in Canada for $449.99 (49.99 with a 3-year contract),in Ireland for €149.99 from Lidl and can be obtained free in the United States after rebate (from T-Mobile and Cingular Wireless, the original US carrier for the RAZR), making it an upper-end budget phone. In 2005, PC World put the RAZR at #12 in The 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years.

On May 15, 2007, Motorola announced the new RAZR 2, with a bigger screen, better UI, and Linux platform. It also has packed in even more features, and managed to be an even smaller and slimmer phone than the original RAZR V3.

History

Product development began in July 2003 with sales starting the following year. By July 2005, Motorola reported to analysts that the RAZR V3 was the most popular clamshell, something that it owes almost entirely to its distinctive looks and small size.

Motorola released a CDMA version of the RAZR for Verizon Wireless, Cricket Communications, US Cellular, and ALLTEL on November 21, 2005, called the RAZR V3c. The V3c was adopted by Canadian carriers Bell Mobility and TELUS Mobility in February 2006. Changes in the CDMA version include a slightly thicker form factor (primarily due to a \"bulge\" around the camera lens), more internal memory (30 MB), a higher resolution 1.3 megapixel camera, and CDMA20001xEV-DO support. However, the V3c only supports 16-bit color, and its weight has increased from 95g to 99g. Another small detail is the \"bump\" that lifts the camera on it's back.

Motorola announced the V1150, which was renamed as the RAZR V3x, a 3G phone with two cameras and support for microSD memory cards. Motorola has confirmed that the phone is not intended as the successor to the RAZR, and that \"RAZR V3x\" is simply a new name for the existing V1150. It has also been confirmed that the phone will be released in Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand — but not the US.

On March 10, 2006, the companies Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile USA temporarily stopped selling the RAZR, due to a technical glitch that caused the phone to drop calls or shut down. The glitch was reportedly resolved two months later.
