About the Motorola RIZR 

RIZR basics

This new cell phone from Motorola features the traditional thinness of the RAZR, but with a "retractable" body. Use a push-bar on the phone to reveal the numeric keys underneath, and don't worry about the possibility of their being pressed by accident - a locking mechanism prevents them from activating when the phone is detracted.

Greater emphasis has been put into the phone's camera, which has been upgraded to a 2.0 megapixel with light and its own dedicated side-button. It also captures video at 15-20 FPS. An optional Micro-SD memory card slot enables you to add more memory, if you so desire!

As always, the phone is Bluetooth compatible for wireless headsets and wireless car operation. A WAP 2.0 feature is included for wireless internet access, and a USB 1.1 port with a full speed of 12 Mbps allows PC synchronization.

RIZR Design 

Feature rich, yet compact

Weighing only 115 grams, the RIZR packs all of its features in a 45.50 H x 105.47 W x 15.99 D millimeter body.

The phone is designed so that you can enjoy its many capabilities while the phone is opened or closed: access features to listen to music, play games or take pictures and video quickly and easily.
