Motorola teams up with Ferrari for MotoRAZR MAXX V6

Although it's passing the checkered flag quite a few laps later than the McLaren-branded handsets we've seen of late, Ferrari has utilized that long-standing partnership with Motorola to kick out a flashy limited edition MotoRAZR MAXX, dubbed the V6 Ferrari. Although it's not like Ferrari to stop with just six cylinders, this handset sports a sleek, black finish, an unmistakable yellow Ferrari logo, two-megapixel camera, VGA webcam for video telephony, 50MB of internal memory, microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, USB 2.0 connectivity, and "OTA PC syncing" to boot. Additionally, you'll find HSDPA, EDGE, and GPRS options, and for that extra luxurious touch, you'll hear an F1 "roar" each time you switch the device on, images of the Ferrari F430 engine on the mini external display, and a Ferrari automobile on the internal display. So if you've been scouting the perfect mobile to accompany that newly-purchased piece of Italian engineering, you can snag the MotoRAZR MAXX V6 Ferrari in five undisclosed (but fairly easy to guess) continents starting tomorrow, and while the €490 ($633) pricetag might turn off the average joe, at least you get a swank red leather carrying case to keep this thing in tip-top shape. Click on through for a wide open shot.

Actually, the comment about Ferrari not making a six-cylinder engine is not quite true. Notice the beautiful Lancia Stratos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_Stratos), not to mention this entire Wikipedia sub-entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari#Mid-engine_V6.2FV8). Sorry for the persnicketiness, but I'm just in one of those moods.

Whot? Ferrari+gayzr?! Can't they find better partnership like with SE or Nokia?

[ScOObyDoo @ Jan 28th 2007 7:13PM]

I agree... A world class automobile with a second class phone maker :(

Hey Brokeback or is it Fanboy? Sour grapes make bitter whine.

Great, this $633 phone is almost as good as the Samsung SGH-A707 that cost me negative $50 after rebate.

[The Infamous @ Jan 28th 2007 7:44PM]

But which carriers get it?

...so ferrari's tapping into the RAZR hype.

MOTO4LTR phones are so yesterday, ferrari. they look ugly and have very cheap user interfaces (compared to my samsung and my cousins' sony ericssons) and pack a lot of hype and not much tech. a ferrari-branded samsung ultra edition or SE Ai would be headlines, a ferrari-branded MOTORAZR MAXX is like a RAZR with an updated camera and a faceplate, same old garbage with a few tiny shanges.

Motorola phones completely own any other.

I don't often have time to read the blogs on Engadget.

Engadget should rename itself Fanboy Central. What's the average age here? 12? 13?. Not that there's anything wrong with being prepubescent.

The blogs just seem to lack the wisdom of the editorial side. That there are so many choices of cellphone should be lauded not derided.
