The Motorola LAZR?

If you still have RAZRs on the brain after laying eyes on this puppy, we might recommend you get that noodle checked. At a time when Moto perhaps needs a hit more than ever, this shiny piece of gorgeous -- allegedly the "LAZR" -- appears poised to come in and save the day. Features of the chromed-out clamshell are said to include a half gig of internal storage with no expansion slot, Linux (a trend we'll see more and more in Moto's new models), some manner of text-to-speech system for emails and SMSes, and a frickin' two inch external display. No word on a release at this point, but we've got our fingers crossed that it'll bow all official-like at CTIA next week.

Thats one douche bag style watermark...

[Dster @ Mar 24th 2007 5:59PM]

If you think the watermark is annoying, you should see the forum this came from -- just google "Bengalboy"

(I can't even write that name with a straight face!)

If it has sperated buttons so you can't accidentally press two buttons at the same time...I'll start being interested.

who's the apple?

[Crazylink @ Mar 24th 2007 6:03PM]

I want one just so I can plug it in and yell "I'MA CHARGIN MY LAZAR."

[Martez @ Mar 24th 2007 6:03PM]

Need to see it opened (and use it myself) before making any judgements. But I like the look of the exterior, I guess. Still waiting for the phone that makes me really want a cell.

[Owen V @ Mar 24th 2007 6:24PM]

no mention of the knife and lighter?

[k0a10 @ Mar 24th 2007 6:28PM]

No expansion slot? Yawn. It's a glamour fone. Granted, a glamour fone running GPL software.

the inside

[elcaminos @ Mar 24th 2007 6:53PM]

The knife is a Microtech Ultratech.

[daddycool @ Mar 24th 2007 6:54PM]

Screw you guys, Bengalboy rules! Via Howard Forums? Please show some respect to the MAN!

[Karl @ Mar 24th 2007 6:58PM]

Linux on the moto, what ive always wanted.

[Scott @ Mar 24th 2007 7:20PM]

Motorola SUCKS on batteries because they make them. They want them to go bad quickly so you have to buy new ones. My advice always buy Nokia, best signal, voice clarity and best battery life

[nojok3 @ Mar 24th 2007 7:30PM]

I want Motorola to come out with a side flip phone that has a small keypad that you can type messages but doesn't necessarily scream nerd or acts as a PDA.

[ceaseoleo @ Mar 25th 2007 3:28AM]

its called the motorola A630

[nojok3 @ Mar 25th 2007 8:59AM]

Thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for; too bad Sprint doesn't offer it (with the plan I'm looking at it is not available).

Coincidence that Verizon is having a fire sale on Moto phones through March?

[nojok3 @ Mar 24th 2007 7:45PM]

Thats the biggest joke I've ever seen of a website.

[Totalfixation @ Mar 24th 2007 8:45PM]

You guys are just hating. this guy may be over zealous but this guy has it and we don't. He's just playing on what he got.

[ScOObyDoo @ Mar 24th 2007 9:43PM]

Oh please... All he does is signup for developer programs and leaks pre-release phones to the public in violation of his NDA's.

The addition of chicks, lighters and knives just make him look rather silly.

[xultar @ Mar 24th 2007 9:25PM]

I'm surprised there are no tits in the shot.

[Zorque @ Mar 24th 2007 10:03PM]

Voice recognition for SMS seems kinda strange, considering you can -you know- call someone on the thing.

[PEZ @ Mar 24th 2007 11:01PM]

Does that thing look like it has a book-style hinge on it?

[nVidiot @ Mar 25th 2007 12:46AM]

Zorque: Not really.. I hate phone conversations.. love just sending messages.. but hate typing them on a crap number pad.

[Jeremy @ Mar 25th 2007 1:52AM]

I thought my Chocolate was nice. I guess I will just have to be jealous until I can afford this one.

[malibu @ Mar 25th 2007 6:36AM]

It isn't the A630 thats this phone http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=66

The "Lazr" looks to me like the next big thing not a lot of users (at least in the US or Europe) Use the expandible memory and 512mb is probably for High MP camera rating, I'd say 3.2 or higher, Motorola will sell a ton of these, look at the RAZR, with contract when it came out was near 600 bucks, and had GPRS, while the V551 was far less expensive and was compareable with all the features, and it had EDGE, people, atlest in america, are materialistic and will eat this phone up, especially if it's hyped as well as the RAZR.

[Roland @ Mar 25th 2007 7:30AM]

Those are some skanky ho's at Bengalboy's site. MOTO SKANKR.

[nojok3 @ Mar 25th 2007 9:00AM]

malibu, ceaseoleo was responding to my comment.

[billy @ Mar 25th 2007 11:27AM]

Haha, that is the worst website I ever saw. It must be a joke. The poses are so cheesey I almost puked and the girls arent even pretty if you look at ther faces. What a wanker.

[Chris @ Mar 25th 2007 11:35AM]

"they got guys named lazr, blazr, tazr, and all kinds of azrs"
seriously though this naming thing has got to stop after a while. right?
RIGHT?

[hennah @ Mar 25th 2007 12:53PM]

I think the names razr and rizr krzr are much COOLER than nokia's and se's number system they're just so freakin confusing to remember.. Ans I like moto's crazy names it's their thing..

[drea @ Mar 25th 2007 1:11PM]

I wonder if you can get all the moto's and link them together and make a razr-lazr-bazr-chazr-dazr-gazr-hazr-tazr-vazr-fofazr?

[Oniel @ Mar 25th 2007 2:00PM]

Seriously isn't this the sixth attempt at a RAZR 2.

[mord3th @ Mar 25th 2007 2:40PM]

@CrazyLink
that is exactly what i thought!!!
SHOOP DA WHOOP!

[White Goodman @ Mar 25th 2007 3:43PM]

Did this remind anyone of that Dodgeball movie? Is Motorola really an evil gym?

"My teammates: LAZR... BLAZR ... and TRAILBLAZR."

[icehole @ Mar 25th 2007 6:02PM]

You - YOU - LOOK AT ME, I'm an attention whore. Look at my skanky bi women. Look at me! I can buy a CHEAP Microtech knife and put it in the picture Looka Looka! Aren't I special.

[later that same night in the bangel boy doublewide]sob ... sob... no one loves me.

PATHETIC!

(but the phone is cool)

[oj @ Mar 25th 2007 6:58PM]

not every flip phone is a clamshell.

[marc @ Mar 26th 2007 10:19PM]

That phone will be coming to verizon as the V9M. no linux, running the v cast OS

[nbogol @ Mar 27th 2007 10:41AM]

AWSME! Look's nothing like what's on the market - maybe in Japan, but not Euro/US/Asia.

I'm sure they will add expandable mem - it's just retarded not to. The phone looks thinner than the RAZR, minus the leno chin and the huge outside screen.

Agreed Bengalboy and his site is rubbish.

[jimmylocky @ Apr 1st 2007 9:20PM]

It is joke and not new - look here http://lzzr.com/blog/motorola-lzzr-is-not-anticipated/
