Motorola this morning revealed a special, Ferrari-badged edition of the RAZRmaxx. Known as the RAZRmaxx V6 Ferrari Challenge Mobile Phone Limited Edition, the clamshell handset not only displays the Italian supercar maker’s logo but also switches to an appropriately red lighting scheme for its backlights. The sound of the V8 engine from Ferrari’s F1 car is timed to play when the phone is turned on or of; custom wallpaper and a collection of 30 photos of the F430 and Ferrari Challenge cars are preloaded as well.
The RAZRmaxx was chosen for the makeover due to its already high speed, Motorola said, which is represented by its support for 3.6Mbps HSDPA broadband. A 2-megapixel rear camera and forward-facing VGA camera remain unchanged from the original model. Motorola plans to deliver the RAZRmaxx V6 internationally on the 29th for €490 ($636) before service plan discounts. A full photo is available after the jump.
Motorola emphasized speed with its introduction of this breathlessly-named RAZRmaxx V6 Ferrari Challenge Mobile Phone Limited Edition, touting its 3.6 megabit-per-second HSDPA wireless broadband connection. Along with that familiar Ferrari badge, the otherwise-ordinary RAZR clamshell handset has that signature red color as its keypad backlight, and makes annoying engine noises when it’s turned on or off, which could get old after about a day or two. Hopefully that can be easily silenced.
Oh yeah, and there’s one other major difference: that Ferrari logo turns a cheap RAZR phone into a $636 status symbol, but that’s before discounts you might get by signing your life away to some shitty cellphone service provider. We’re just wondering what’s up with Ferrari that it needs to pimp its logo on laptops and cellphones. We don’t see Rolex doing that.
Turns out Motorola today unveiled its new RAZRmaxx V6 Ferrari Challenge Mobile Phone Limited Edition. Not only does it come with the longest model name for a cellphone ever, but it packs sounds from the Ferrari F1 car, special Ferrari photos and wallpapers, dedicated music buttons, HSDPA, a 2-megapixel camera, and a front facing VGA camera.
