so the razor turns on when it vibrates?
That's great, but wouldn't it be better if your phone could tell how sexy someone is or manage your hour of power without you having to keep track of the time?
in before LG Chocolate one-time-use phone.
This actually doesn't seem half bad
Apart from the fact you have a POS razor attached to your phone doing nothing (99% of the time) apart from adding bulk and weight.
I can't think of a better way to sneak a camera/recorder into/out of Iran or North Korea
More like a POS razr attached to the razor. But that´s in the eye of the beholder.
@QuantumPhysics
Cavity?
Kind of funny they do this, I used to joke about the original Moto-razor being used as a shaver...
@ Quantumphysics
Dunno about NK, but in case of Iran the better way would be the normal way. You would have known that if you stopped watching Fox News.
Barcode, you and the other 120 million people.
Is it just me or is it REALLY annoying when people come to a gadget site to randomly talk trash about FOX news? wtf? who cares? It seems like you guys are getting paid.
I honestly do not recall the last time I have seen a bashing of FOX news on here. But, in the spirit of annoying you, FOX news is garbage.
Fox has news?
this is going to be messy and just pointless..Their are 100s of ways they could of improved the razar and thisssss is what they choose? lol amazingg
I hope it includes a shaving-noise suppressor feature, because I really need it when I'm shaving *and* talking on the phone. And that happens quite often.
See Motorola!,
this is what the last RAZR should have been.
Pehaps the most unnecessary addition to a phone - ever.
Oh God.
We really are in the middle of an economic Crysis.
Did you misspell "crisis" on purpose? I ask because I can't see how this relates to the video game "Crysis."
I'm assuming that he did because it's capitalized and everything, but I don't get the joke. Maybe the joke is just too intellectual for us.
Yes, I'm too smart for you guys.

'Thought you need a $$$ gaming rig to play Crysis?'
Thing again.
Yes, it CAN blend...your beard.
Um, okay. How exactly does that relate to this post?
How ridiculous is that? Lol, at least they were creative.
MOTORAZRBLDE
Dont forget the cap, you go to make a call and whoops, there goes the blood supply to your brain.
Sorry Jugular!
You must be shaving all wrong, since I've never sliced open my jugular while shaving my neck with a razor blade, let alone an electric razor.
Oh rly? i do it all the time.
whoopsies.
Electric razors these days are built in such a way that you have practically force yrself to get cut (either by pushing really hard in self-mutilating sort of way or pushing hard on the trimmer edge, which you aren't supposed to use for actual shaving anyway) in order for it to happen. Worse that can happen is that yr skin gets really red and raw from those hard to cut hairs. In other words, if this happens with you using electrics, yr doing it wrong.
Manual safety razors, on the other hand...that I can understand.
Finally I can talk on the phone and shave while I drive, with one device!
But phones have to be hands-free while driving (if you live in the U.S.), so technically you can't do that anyway. Let alone shave, unless I'm mistaken.
Don't worry, the joke was missed. You won't be.
April Fooools! Oh wait n/m not yet....
I'm actually left speechless by this. I can't tell if it's utter genius or really, really stupid.
Why not both?
mutually exclusive
Not in my books.
It would be really, really stupid, but it has a touch screen and dual-sim capability added to the razer, which makes it a decent phone added to the razer.
Why is THIS phone dual-sim?
So you can shave regardless of whether your call is business or personal, obviously.
The question is when will they make a phone that makes us a hot macchiato?
Great! Now I can watch where I'm shaving with the camera on the razor!!!
..................wait a minute......????
That's a very good point. It eliminates the need for a shaving mirror thus freeing up even more of that preciouis pocket real estate!
The razor, however, is VERY integrated into the design! Respect for that! Apple wouldn't have done it better!
...Knowing Apple, they would have only allowed you to shave a certain part of your body with it, and then you have to buy accessories for the rest of them.
"What mobile phone can function, this problem if left to Apple, Nokia to answer, they will usually finish by upgrading software, then give the middle class Chinese Chamber of Commerce on how to answer? 尤其是来自深圳这块神奇的土地上的优秀产商：答案是内置剃须刀！ Especially from Shenzhen on this magical land of outstanding manufacturers: The answer is a built-razor! 手机的功能是双卡双待，200万像素，2.6寸触摸屏，FM收音，蓝牙等，这个剃须刀挺适合IT人士的，有事没事在路上也可以剃胡子，深得上班迟到还挨批，价格大概在750RMB，不贵哦；加上之前的验钞机手机，投影手机，你还需要什么样特别功能的手机呢（印钞机手机你就别想了）？ The functions of mobile phone is a dual-card double question, 2,000,000 pixels, 2.6-inch touch screen, FM radio, Bluetooth and so on, this shaver very suitable IT person, something can also be all right On the way剃胡子, won also criticized for being late to work, Price at approximately 750RMB, oh You do not; added before the cell phone Detector, projection mobile, what you also need the special features this cell phone (HKNPL machine you should not even think about a cell phone)? "
I'm waiting for the nose hair trimmer.
Thats the Mp3 player.
They should make the bottom of the phone modular, so that you can attach a razor module, or a memory expansion module, or a vibrator module, etc.
I don't think I need a vibrator.
Wouldn't it be problematic bring it aboard an airplane now a days though?
Shenzhen certainly is a magical land....
Imagine trying to get through customs with this phone. Its not like they aren't anal enough about scissors and hand cream. This phone would probably get you held up at every airport.
What do you do with scissors and handcream?
I just saw anal and hand cream in the same sentence.
Some things are not meant to go together...and other things are..(just ask Officer Resses)
early April Fools - no question
i normally shave with water , not a good idea with a phone
Dude...
I need this phone so bad... When does it come out?????
BTW, is it waterproof ?
@patriotsn1, it's not just fox news but news of any kind of media in general, maybe if you go to a place outside of your own country and see it for yourself you won't be supporting the trash talk some other ignorant idiot who obviously hasn't seen a place outside his own country would.
I can see it now.. "But officer, i wasnt talking on the phone, i was shaving with my phone!"
perhaps it's real....
Yo dawg, we heard you like to shave, so we added a razor to your razr so you can shave while you phone.
Or something like that...
Motorola's gotta jump on this!
Since the introduction of "ladyphones" I always wondered what a "manphone" is supposed to be. Now I know the answer.
Well, the comment from the lady was: "I would immediately buy this if it was a hairstraightener instead of a razor."
Big deal! It can't brew coffee or serve as an active translation unit, unlike my Pomegranate phone.
Yeah, Pomegranate's are the best!
Your Pomegranate brews coffee?
@Damean. Do your research before the next time you comment:
http://www.pomegranatephone.com/
@Nytrojen: LocalToast should've made the reference in his comment about the Pomegranite phone more obvious (and provided the link that you did) so we don't have to do research to get the inside joke. Who has time to research each obscure comment?
You know, I think there was a skit of the original iPhone that it can act as a shaver. I guess a phone/shaver combo comes to fruition. LOL
The new motorola razr!!!
I'll get one... where in China can I?
WTF! It must drain the battery very fast, you won't be able to shave appropriately nor receiving any phone calls, so what's the point?!
Sweet I can shave my private area on the go AND talk to people
Why hasn't anyone invented a lighter phone yet? You know, for that occasional cigarette!
Is it just me or had Oli D been failing at being clever consistantly thoughout this entire thread?
