Amp’d promises this isn’t just another RAZR: their branded version features a pearl grey finish, fast broadband downloading, and Amp’d Live’s proprietary interface which lets users access exclusive Amp’d content (original programs, viral videos, 3D games, and more) with superior audio and video quality.

"With the MOTORAZR, Amp’d Edition from Motorola, a new era of enhanced mobile entertainment is at consumers’ fingertips. The phone is entertainment and broadband technology integration at its best; with reliable communications service and style all in one," said Peter Adderton, Amp’d Mobile’s CEO and founder. "We look forward to delivering continued industry innovation and successes with Motorola."

For a limited time, the RAZR Amp’d Edition will include a premium audio entertainment pack including an in-ear earbud headset (with adapters) and a 256 MB memory card. The phone supports up to 1 GB storage on microSD cards and has 1.3 megapixel camera, supports MPEG-4 video, and offers both Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

Amp’d Mobile’s Feature Plan package will be priced at $99 with service contact, or $199 (after mail-in rebate) with Amp’d Pay-As-You-Go or new Hybrid pricing schemes.

The crazy (but cute) reason you should buy a Motorola Razr flip phone

Moo on the Motorola Razr Plus's cover screen.

When I reviewed the Motorola Razr 40 (or Razr 2023, if you prefer), I fell in love. Not with the phone, although it is very good indeed, but with Moo.

Moo lives on the phone’s cover screen and is a very rare beast indeed, as it’s a fun and cute character created by a brand that’s actually fun and cute. I liked having Moo live on my Razr so much that once I’d discovered it, I never thought about changing to another clock face or wallpaper image once.
What on Earth is Moo?

I reviewed 2 of the best Android smartwatches. This is the one I’d buy

After reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, I decided to swap immediately to the Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 5. The reason was simple: until the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic came along, the latest Ticwatch was my personal top Android smartwatch and the best performer you could get. I wanted to find out if could retain this title, as I’d really loved wearing the Watch 6 Classic.

I thought I’d hate the Galaxy Z Flip 5 — until I changed one thing

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 with its cover screen on.

It's been a little under a month since I got my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, and throughout most of that time, I've thoroughly enjoyed every second with it. I was already quite fond of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 last year, and the Flip 5 addresses my main complaint of its predecessor: the cover screen.

The 1.9-inch cover screen on the Flip 4 was fine for viewing notifications or paying with Samsung Pay ... but that was about it. If I wanted to interact with the phone in any meaningful way, I always had to open it up. But with the 3.4-inch cover screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 5, that hasn't been the case this year. I'm able to do so much more with the cover screen than ever before, and it's greatly enhanced the practicality of having a flip phone.
