Razer-thin: Motorola RAZR V3 (2004)


Lauded as a "stunning piece of industrial design" upon its released, Motorola's RAZR V3 was one of the most iconic mobile phones to ever be released. Clearly gaining inspiration from Motorola's StarTAC eight years earlier, the RAZR boasted a stylish anodised aluminium cover, a VGA camera, quad-band compatibility and Bluetooth support. The RAZR was so popular it spawned a number of successors including the RAZR V3x, RAZR V3i and the RAZR V3xx.
